TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CADILLAC SEVILLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY OLD 2000 GM CADILLAC STS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS NOT A MECHANICAL PROBLEM - IT WAS SOME SORT OF DEFECT. NOTE THAT IT WAS "REPAIRED" IN BETWEEN THE INCIDENTS, DO IT WAS NOT THE SAME INITIAL PROBLEM. I FILED A COMPLAINT BACK THEN, BUT GOT NO RESPONSE. THE MECHANICS AT THE PALO ALTO CADILLAC DEALER SEEMED TO KNOW OF THE PROBLEM. AT THE TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS A FAILURE OF SOME SENSORS ON THE FLYWHEEL. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS RELATED TO THE CURRENT IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. HAVING A VEHICLE STALL AT 65 MILE PER HOUR IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT IF I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW CARS WORK. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. MY POINT IS, THERE WAS A DEFECT ON THIS CAR THAT APPEARED TO BE KNOWN BY GM, AND WAS ALSO IGNORED. THE COMPLAINT WAS IGNORED BY THE NHTSA. I THINK YOU SHOULD ALSO INQUIRE WITH GM WHAT WAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT. AS I WROTE - THEY SEEMED TO HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM, AND JUST REPAIRED IT, RATHER THAN UNDERSTAND THE RISK THEY WERE MAKING US TAKE. I ENDED UP SELLING THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR
