| Ii traded my 97 lincoln town car for a 01 cadillac seville with the north star motor,upon leaving the car lot,i noticed the stereo was real statick when i hit the slightest bump in the road..i then turned around and took it right back..it was the bose amp..(found out 3 weeks later)(dealer paid for repair,)the very next day ..i heard a clicking while turning right,,took back to the dealer ..it wouldnt do it then,,i was told to put power steering fluid in it..drove it to ky that weekend(i live in ga) noticed a humming noise in the left front wheel,,had to replace the wheel hub,,,then noticed power steering fluid kept going down,,had to replace the hydrolic hose,, a couple of times i wuld turn the key and it wouldnt start,,no lights no nothing..turn the key to off position,,wait try again ,,still no start,,tried a third time started no problem,,,is there a glitch with the ignition switch???now im hearing the clicking again when i turn right...is this going to cost me more money,,,i always thought cadillac was the best money could buy ,,because of the fact they use top of the line parts ( therefore expensive cars) so you wont have to worry,about breaking down and having to keep putting money in them.. cadillac should back their products with the pride they expect us consumers to have while driving them.....i should have kept my lincoln | |||

| Fuel/ign starting problems ________________________________________ i have a 2001 cadillac seville sls that has been having intermittent starting problems. presently the vehicle will not build-up fuel pressure in order to start to 41-47 psi unless i remove the rear fuse/relay box ign 1 micro relay. with this relay removed, i can hear the fuel pump build-up the required psi and then i confirm the build-up of that psi by looking at my test fuel psi guage under the hood, the car then starts no problem, and runs no problem with relay not installed. whenever i re-install this micro relay the fuel sys will not build-up the required psi, it just stays at 0 psi, and of course it will not start. i just replaced the fuel pump sending unit assy plus fuel filter today. the other day i was driving on highway 25 southbound and doing 75 mph and the engine just died, quit running and would not re-start. i had my vehicle towed home, the next day i went to troublshoot my cadillac and the vehicle started right up with the ign 1 relay removed. as i mentioned earlier i already replaced the fuel pump assy thinking it would fix problem and it did not! today while driving 55 mph the engine suddenly quit running again and i heard a noise from the front end and the car shook also. i had to find some shoulder room, pulled over, removed ign1 relay again and the car re-started no problem and i continued on driving to work. | |||

| The consumer's vehicle traction control system keeps showing a defect when the light comes on. the consumer took vehicle to dealer 4 times, and they couldn't find anything. according to owner's manual it has to do with the brake system. *ak...the traction control light continues to come on, and dealer was unable to repair or determine the cause. this creates a potential hazard to consumer and others if the light signals a problem. *ak *sb this problem have been going on since october 17, 2004 to the present. *sb | |||
