1992 Cadillac Deville problems
The Cadillac DeVille is a model name used by Cadillac over eight generations, originally used to designate a trim level of the 1949 Cadillac Series 62 and later to designate a standalone model in the brand range. The last model marketed specifically as a DeVille was the 2005 full-size sedan, at the time, Cadillac's largest model.
For 2006, the Deville nameplate was retired, when the model line was carried forward (with minor revisions) as the Cadillac DTS, using a nomenclature adopted by the Cadillac STS and CTS.
Early history
The name "DeVille" is derived from the French de la ville or de ville meaning "of the town". In French coach building parlance, a coupé de ville, from the French couper (to cut) i.e. shorten or reduce, was a short four-wheeled closed carriage with an inside seat for two and an outside seat for the driver and this smaller vehicle was intended for use in the town or city (de ville). An (unshortened) limousine or (in the United States) town car has a division between the passenger and driver compartments and if the driver's seat is outside it may be called a sedanca de ville or town car.
The first Cadillac "Coupe de Ville" was shown during the 1949 Motorama. It was built on a Cadillac Sixty Special chassis and featured a dummy air-scoop, chrome trim around front wheel openings, and a one-piece windshield and rear glass. The interior was black and trimmed in gray leather, including the headliner, to match the roof color. It was equipped with a telephone in the glove compartment, a vanity case and a secretarial pad in the rear armrest, power windows and highly decorative chrome interior trim. The prototype "Coupe de Ville" was used by GM President Charles E. Wilson until 1957 when he presented it to his secretary. At some time during this period it acquired a dark Vicodec roof. The prototype "Coupe de Ville" was found and restored in the 2010s; it was in a private collection in London, Ontario, Canada as of 2017.
The Cadillac Series 62 Coupe de Ville was introduced late in the 1949 model year. Along with the Buick Roadmaster Riviera, and the Oldsmobile 98 Holiday, it was among the first pillarless hardtop coupes ever produced. At US$3,496 ($44,768 in 2023 dollars ) it was only a dollar less than the Series 62 convertible, and like the convertible, it came with power windows standard. It was luxuriously trimmed, with leather upholstery and chrome 'bows' in the headliner to simulate the ribs of a convertible top. In its first year the Series 62 Coupe de Ville only sold 2,150 units. But 1950 sales more than doubled to 4507, and in 1951 sales more than doubled again to 10,241 exceeding the sales for the Series 62 Club Coupe that year. Also, in 1951, Coupe de Ville chrome script appeared on the rear roof pillar for the first time, to further distinguish it from the Series 62 Club Coupe.
In 1956 the Series 62 Coupe de Ville was joined by the Series 62 Sedan de Ville, Cadillac's first standard production 4-door hardtop. Similarly to the Coupe de Ville, it was also more expensive and more luxuriously trimmed than the standard 4-door Series 62. With 41,732 sold, it also easily outsold the Series 62 sedan in its very first year. Given their sales success, it was only natural that the Coupe de Ville and Sedan de Ville were moved to their own separate series in 1959, the Series 6300, being joined by a DeVille convertible in 1964.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2002-05-13
- VIN: 1G6CD53BXN4
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL INFORMATION. WHEN THE CAR WAS FINALLY STOPPED, THE DOORS COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED BECAUSE THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO DRIVE AND THERE ARE NO DOOR LOCK KNOBS AVAILABLE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE. ALSO, NO WINDOWS COULD BE OPERATED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL POWER AVAILABLE TO OPERATE THEM. THE END RESULT WAS THAT PASSENGERS WERE TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR WITH NO WAY TO GET OUT OTHER THAN BREAKING THE GLASS OF ONE OF THE WINDOWS AND UNLOCKING THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE ARE NO OVERRIDE OPTIONS AVAILABLE FROM WITHIN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM. A PERSON WHO IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE CAR ONCE THE POWER STEERING IS LOST (E.G. A SMALL WOMAN, AN ELDERLY PERSON) COULD VERY EASILY HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT AND IF THE CAR IS IN AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN A FIRE, THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE OCCUPANTS TO ESCAPE FROM THE CAR. DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM REVEALED THE BATTERY CABLES HAD APPARENTLY WORKED LOOSE OR HAD NOT BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED AFTER REPLACEMENT OF A CAM SENSOR AT A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THIS EPISODE. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING IS SIGNIFICANTLY DANGEROUS IN THIS VEHICLE AND SERIOUSLY THREATENS THE LIVES OF PASSENGERS AND PUTS THEM IN A VERY HIGH RISK SITUATION. HAD THIS EPISODE HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS DEFECT IS A LIFE THREATENING DESIGN DEFECT AND REQUIRES AN IMMEDIATE PRIORITY FIX BY GM. *NLM

Positive 1992 Cadillac Deville car reviews

I inherited this from my late father-in-law. At first, I was worried that it might be too big and expensive to maintain. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by how few repairs it has needed, such as brakes, thermostat, electric motor on power antenna and trunk lock. It also has excellent gas mileage, achieving 20 mpg in the summer and only dropping to 17 mpg with the heat on. Additionally, it has excellent traction on ice and snow, and even at 83,000 miles, it still provides a smooth ride.
-
This car has a fantastic 4.9 liter engine that provides great performance. It's a blast to drive and offers a much more comfortable ride than a Mustang GT. The transmission is smooth and the braking system is top-notch. The sporty convertible top and special wheels really make this model stand out.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share some information about my car with you. I purchased it back in 2016 for only $400. It was previously owned by my mother and father-in-law, so it was driven very sparingly. When I bought it, it had only 84,000 miles on it. Since then, I've put about 12,000 miles on it in the past year. The car has been very reliable, and the only repair I've had to make was to replace the oil gasket and a small section of the transmission line, which cost me a total of $400. Recently, I had new tires put on and the car passed its state inspection with flying colors, which cost me a total of $435. The red leather interior is super comfortable and almost like new. All of the lights in the cabin work, and the windows, heat, and A/C all function perfectly. The trunk is clean and spacious, and the engine is powerful and the transmission shifts flawlessly. The original black paint and chrome are in excellent shape, and there is absolutely no rust on the car. The only thing that doesn't work is the radio and antenna, which is common for this car. I'm hesitant to put an aftermarket sound system in, as I was told that it might interfere with the digital dash, which is working perfectly. The ride is very comfortable, and while cornering isn't the best, it's still manageable. I really like this car and would love to keep it for a bit longer, even though it doesn't have the safety features of newer cars. That being said, I don't race my car anymore since I'm 64. Thanks for listening!

Are you having problems with your 1992 Cadillac Deville?
Donavon Dicki 2024-09-12
PROS: Although there are some cons to this car, it does have some positive aspects. CONS: However, there are a few things to consider before purchasing this car. Firstly, the computer-controlled climate control system may take some time to kick in, which can be frustrating in cold weather. Secondly, there have been reports of faulty parts, which can lead to breakdowns and leave you stranded on the side of the road. Thirdly, the car has been known to be unreliable and has required towing on multiple occasions. Lastly, there have been issues with faulty seals that can let water into the manifold, resulting in a $170.0 repair.
