ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WHILE I WENT INTO THE BANK FOR 15-20 MIN. I GOT INTO MY CAR AND STARTED THE ENGINE. I HEARD A "POP", PULLED FORWARD ABOUT 10 TO 15 FEET WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE GAUGES AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OFF. WHEN I LOOKED BACK UP I SAW BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I THEN TURNED TO MY DAUGHTER AND TOLD HER TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND GET AWAY FROM IT. BY THAT TIME FLAMES WERE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE BOTH GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 911. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED THE FIRE HAD GOTTEN IN SIDE THE CAR AND CRACKED ALL THE WINDOWS. THE FIREMAN SMASHED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW TO GET TO THE HOOD RELEASE BUT THE CABLE HAD ALREADY BEEN BURNED AND THE RELEASE DID NOT WORK. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO PRY THE HOOD OF THE CAR OFF. BY THIS TIME THE CAR WAS IN FLAMES FROM THE DOORS FORWARD. THE CAR IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS. MY HUSBAND SUSPECT A FUEL SUPPLY LINE HAD DISCONNECTED. *JB

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS WHEN I STAR OUT AND IT HAPPENED TO OR IS RAINING I HAVE HAD THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP. AFTER I BELIEVE THE BELT TO DRY IT IS OKAY. AT ONE TIME IT LOCKED UP IN A TURN AND IT TAKES SUPERMAN TO STEER. THIS COULD BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT AT ONE TIME I READ THAT THE NHTSA BOARD WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS BUT CADILLAC DID NOT CORRESPOND TO THE BOARDS COMPLAINT. THIS IS A DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT COULD PROBABLY SOLVED BY SOME TYPE OF COVER. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
HAVE HAD A OIL LEAK IN MY 1995 CADILLAC ELDORADO ENGINE FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. THE DEALER HAS TRIED MANY THINGS TO MAKE THIS REPAIR WHEN UNDER WARRANTY SUCH AS REPLACING THE DRAIN BOLT, NEW OIL FILTERS, AND REPLACEMENT OF THE OIL LEVEL SENSOR TO NO AVAIL. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS OFF, THEY INFORM ME THAT THE OIL IS LEAKING FROM THE "HALF CASE" AND WILL REQUIRE THAT THE ENGINE BE PULLED AT A COST OF BETWEEN $1800 AND $2000. I AM TOLD THAT CADILLAC IS HAVING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR TO MOST NORTHSTAR ENGINES AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. MINE HAS 65,000. *NLM
