WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 CADILLAC SLS THE IGNITION JUST SHUT OFF THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING I CAME TO A STOP AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. AT THE POINT I HAD TO REMOVE MY KEY AND PUT IT BACK IN TO START MY CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE GOING 65 MPH WE HAD TO COME TO A STOP AND REMOVE THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SOME TIMES AFTER I DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE MY CAR WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE CALLED GM AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AFTER THE LARGE RECALL ON THE IGNITION RECALL THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS GM STEP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT I JUST HOPE IT IS NOT ME. GM YOU HAVE A IGNITION PROBLEM IN CADILLAC SLS!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD JUST STOP, IT WOULDN'T START WHILE MOVING. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR STOP WHERE I WAS AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN IT WOULD RESTART. ONLY TO STOP AGAIN, EVERY THING WENT DEAD, LIGHTS, ENGINE, INTERIOR GAGES EVERYTHING. LOST POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AIR BAGS, EVERYTHING STOPPED. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. THE PROBLEM WENT ON FOR OVER A YEAR BEFORE THEY FOUND THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH (KEY TYPE) WAS THE PROBLEM AND ONCE REPLACED THE CAR HAS FUNCTIONED WELL SINCE. BUT I FOUND MYSELF ONLY DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS KEEPING THE VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND OFTEN NOT DRIVING IT FOR WEEKS AT A TIME WHILE THE DEALERSHIP WORKED ON THE VEHICLE TRYING TO FIX IT. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT AS THE MONTHS PASSED IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT UNTIL IT WAS EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR. UPDATED 11/24/2014 *JS

DT: WHEN PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. DID NOT HAVE BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. IT DID THIS ANYTIME WHEN DRIVING BELOW 35 MPH. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GMC DEALER 6 TIMES.

THE PROBLEM STARTED ON AUGUST 20, 2003. *AK *JB
