SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND STOPPED IN DRIVEWAY. SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM SIDE OF ENGINE DUE TO BRAKE FLUID BEING SPRAYED FROM A BRAKE LINE WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. HAD BRAKE LINE REPLACED AND FOUND A HOLE WHICH HAD RESULTED FROM LINE RUBBING AGAINST CHASSIS. I HAVE SAVED THE REPLACED LINE IN CASE VERIFICATION IS DESIRED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A NEW 1992 4 DOOR CADILLAC BROUGHAM. AT PRESENT THE CAR HAS 45,000 MILES. ALL 4 DRS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT IS ENGAGED. PROBLEM: STARTING AROUND MID-DECEMBER, 2005 AND THROUGH MARCH 30, 2006, ALL 4 DRS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 4-5 TIMES IN THIS TIME PERIOD. OTHER THAN THE DOORS UNLOCKING, THERE WERE NO OTHER OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS. ON MARCH 31, 2006, ALL 4 DRS UNLOCKED AGAIN. THIS TIME, ABOUT ONE (1) MINUTE AFTER THE DOORS UNLOCKED, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING. TRYING TO MANEUVER A POWERLESS CAR WITH NO FOOT BRAKES AND DIFFICULTY WITH STEERING AMONGST OTHER VEHICULAR TRAFFIC TO A STOP ALONG THE SIDE OF A ONE LANE ROAD IS A SCARY SITUATION! AFTER DOING SO, I NOTICED A LIT DASH LIGHT INDICATING "NO CHARGE." WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A FULL STOP, I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO AT THAT TIME, I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED, NO WARNING DASH LIGHTS CAME ON SO I DROVE IT HOME. THE CAR WAS FULLY OPERATIONAL ON THE WAY BACK HOME. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM COMMON TO THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. AND CERTAINLY NOTIFY ALL OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VERY SCARY, UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS OPERATING PROBLEM! *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ( ABOUT 40 MPH ) I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE MUFFLER FALLING OFF THE CAR WITH A BANG AND THE CAR MOVING ODDLY AND HEARING A METAL NOISE. I FOUND IT TO BE THE VERY REAR CROSSMENBER ( THE ONE BEFORE THE REAR BUMPER ) HAD FALLEN OFF. I HAVE DONE WELDING FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS THIS WAS NOT WELDED PROPERLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN A GARAGE FROM DAY ONE AND MY MOM IS THE ONLY OWNER. THE PAINT AND UNDERCARRIAGE IS LIKE NEW! ( NO RUST AND ALL MAINTENACE HAS BEEN DONE ) IF SOMEONE ELSE HAD BEEN DRIVING THEY MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR! I DID CALL LLOYDS IN DAYTONA BEACH FL ( WHERE SHE BOUGH THE CAR BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE TOO LOOK AT IT THEN IT COST ME TOO FIX IT ! I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM YOU NEED TOO LOOK AT! ALSO THE TRANSMISSIOM WENT ON OUR WAY UP TOO NY ON 5/ 11/04 IN SC.. THANK'S. *AK
