 Engine sudden shut off while driving on high traffic highway resulted in loss of power steering and quick reduction in vehicle speed. driver made efforts to pull over out the traffic but faster traffic from behind caught up with the disabled vehicle and resulted in number of collisions. in total three vehicles were severe dammaged and two other drivers were injured. cause of the failure is attributed to failure of the cranck shaft sensor.*ak

 My car failed to start. on checking battery, located under rear passenger seat, i discovered the battery was badly corroded. the battery sits directly on the floor pan beneath passenger seat. on removing the battery i discovered the corrosion had eaten through the floor resulting in a hole one inch in diameter. i had the floor pan repaired and had rinocoat sprayed on to prevent future problems. i feel gm should put a plastic tray under the battery to prevent this problem.*jb

 The engine suddenly stops running while driving with no apparent warning. at that point it is almost impossible to steer and you must stop the car and restart the engine. i have had repeated problems with this and have heard of other cadillac deville owners having this problem. i had my car in to the dealer for the problem last week and it happened to me again today. *jb
