Moore Cadillac and GM

done_wronged — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:04:25 GMT

I am a former believer in Moore Cadillac service and GM standing up for what is right. I owned a 1999 DeVille which I purchased from Moore Cadillac. I had brought the vehicle the Moore's service since the very beginning and did almost all the service that they had piched at me. The bottom line here is that Moore Cadillac service broke my Mass Airflow Sensor. This led to the engine racing and the engine overheating and the head gaskets being blown. Moore would not pay to have it repaired, so GM stated that they would have it (the MAS) repaired - at their cost and they paid for everything, labor and parts. This is important because GM would 'normally' pay only half for a 'cutomer' satisfaction issue. Anyway, GM stated that they were told that the damage 'most likely happened here' (at Moore Cadillac).

Moore did not even request that I bring the vehicle in to have it checked out after they new there was an issue. I found out why later. It turns out when the engine overheaded the head gaskets blew. If they had requested to check the vehicle out, they would have found this and they may have to pay for that too. It turned out well for Moore Cadillac. As it turns out, it would cost more for me to sue them than it would to pay for the repairs myself. I am sure that they knew this and decided to role the dice, and they won. It took about 2-3 months before the head gaskets became known - not knowing what could have happened, when the vehicle started to run rough, I had a friend over and he replaced the spark plugs and spark wires. He saw that there was water on the plugs and stated that I should have this checked out if this does not correct it. He is not a mechanic and we both thought - actually hoped that this was somehow a 1 time influx of water. Well, as it turns out it was not. This is when I found out that the head gaskets were blown. Apparently logic is not enough for GM or Moore Cadillac. It was determined that there was no proof that the gaskets were blown at the time of the overheating and spewing of antifreeze. The vehicle never overheated prior to this incident or after. Again, I point out that Moore did not request that I bring the vehicle in for a service check and I maintain that it is because they would have found that the head gaskets were blown. Oh, let me also state that Moore Cadillac stated that they knew that the MAS was cracked and let me drive away. This is an important part of the engine and knowing, or should know, this allowed me to drive off anyway. They knew or should have known that the vehicle could and most likely would speed up and cause a danger to myself and others and they told me nothing and they did nothing. However, they did know that it would be to expensive for me to sue them.

I wrote GM and they had the vehicle looked over. They stated that they could not 'prove' that the gaskets were blown at the time of the incident. DUH - it was 3-4 months later and Moore did not ask to check the vehicle out. I don't know enough, or did not know enought to have it checked. GM could not state that there would be any other cause for the head gaskets blowing except for an overheating, but they could not 'prove' that they were blown at that particular time.

After several letters, GM offered me a $2,000 'LOYALTY' certificate - which just happens to be the same price it would have cost to have the head gasket replaced. I finally thought to myself that I might as well just get the vehicle fixed and continue the fight with GM. I brought the vehicle in for sevice and was told that it now needed a 'short block' - which turns out to be basically a new engine. I was told that the bearings were not shot. The price to fix it now was close to $8,500 and I was told that was just the beginning, it could be more once they opened it up. The letters started again to GM, to no avail. Now GM is stating that I took the 2K in lieu of the repair - NOT.

GM's integiry is shot for not doing the 'right' thing and repairing this vehicle. Moore has not 'customer' service - for they should have checked the vehicle out, corrected the problem and just been forthright and fixed it.

Bottom line - stay away from Moore Cadillac's 'killer' service and GM in general.

Good luck all

My 2001 Cadillac Deville's battery keeps going dead. If the car is not started in 24 hours it will not start. I did put a new battery in and the problem still occurs. Is anyone aware of any electrical issues with this Cadillac, or any way to fix this problem?

1999 Caddy DeVille speedometer and traction module problems

Glenn Sr — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 22:34:17 GMT

I have a 1999 Caddy DeVille with two problems. The speedometer doesn't work and the traction control light comes on. Could these two problems be related? If so, how are they related. Also, where is the traction control module located? Could it be as simple as a blown fuse. I am assuming that the speed sensor is the sensor located on the top right side where the axle comes out of the engine. If so, after removing it reads about 1200 ohms on a digital meter. If this is a magnetic sensor then being an Electrical Engineer, this would seem to be OK. However, I haven't tried to replace it yet. Would it be a good idea to replace the sensor anyway? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Glenn Sr.

1997 cadillac eldorado engine problems

pourman — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 04:22:23 GMT

If my fuel pump goes out will the car still start and idle but choke out and stall when given throttle? Or could this just be a sensor problem? There is 113000 miles just changed plugs and fuel filter but did not help.

unknown noise in 1997 cadillac deville

stanhendrix — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 23:49:21 GMT

1997 Cadillac Deville Northstar 32valve V-8

Started knocking when first cranked Louder at first, then quietens to peck when warm (after 5 min)

Pecking/ “tapping” sound-- not "boom".... pretty loud!

Stays consistent peck sound while driving after warm....

Engine never cuts out or stalls....

Sits undriven a lot under a covered carport...mainly a family trip vehicle...

Aug 07 (family beach trip...First noise started on day 2 after 5 hr drive to beach...

Alternater and water pump replaced by chevy dealer mechanic....600.00 bucks!!! Still made noise but got us home!

Has always had 3500 oil changes and religious maintenance checks

75000 miles total....

Any ideas on what this problem might be? Chevy mechanics at beach had no other ideas---local mechanic wants over 1000 to "take it apart" from the top down....and then another grand from the bottom up if nothing turns up!

Any help or tips or answers greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks---Stan Hendrix

problematic 93 sedan deville

Rydda — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:37:23 GMT

how's it goin. I'm John and i'm new to the site. anyway, down to buisness. over the past 2 months or so i have had an intermintent electrical problem. i could be driving down the highway or stopping for a stop sign, and it will loose all electrical power for a split second. usually just long enough for the aftermarket radio to have to restart. when it glitches the radio goes off the headlights go off i loose the instrament panel, and it sometimes messes up the speedo. the other day it did it and i had the cruise set at 72, it glitched and i was doing "85". sometimes it makes the engine stumble, every now and again it will kill the engine. when it just glitches the only 2 idiot lights that come on are the abs light and the airbag light. the only code that the obd system is throwing, i believe was 47. which is for the a/c system and its low freeon. the car has an aftermarket alarm and a sound system in it, but that stuff has been in there since november of 2004 and i have never had a problem with anything until late. anyone got any ideas??? i tried pulling the fuse for the power wire to my amplifier and it still did it so i know i dont have a short there.
