Over the past year I have had to replace 2 window regulators, a front motor mount, rear brake reline, new wheel engine bearing, a Plenum, and on top of all that the paint is peeling on the front bumper and the rear High Brake Lamp is cracked! Any connection between all these repairs or just my really, really bad luck?

Wondered if others have had a problem with spots of paint peeling off front bumper? Bought car new and have 42,000 miles, rest of paint is in great shape. It is not terrible, but like keeping car nice, would be nice if covered under warranty. Been this way for awhile, maybe should have taken it in, haven't even mentioned it to Hyundai.
View 5 RepliesIt's coming off on all 4 wheels and its OEM original paint. I can see other areas where the paint has cracked and starting to lift as well. These Lexus wheel paint really suck... My Volvo alloys are 18 years old and still do not have peeling issues like this!!
View 7 RepliesMy RC-F has like 8k miles on the odo. I first noticed it at around 6K miles and I thought my RC-F had picked up some "small pieces of wet tissues or some white paint from road construction". But upon closer examination it is the black paint across the black bumper behind the massive grill peeling the black paint thereby revealing its original white paint.
My front end looks like a Dalmatians dog with black and white spots.
I did not hit anything. Dealer is fixing it under warranty. So will wait and see.

1995 Cadillac DeVille 4.9 L Check engine soon light comes on, battery voltage high. When I increase speed the head lamps get brighter when I decrease speed the head lamps get dimmer. I changed the alternator because that's what a mechanic said I needed but I still have the problen battery voltage high. Will this damage the battery or other components? Should I stop driving the car.
View 5 RepliesI recently had a lot of repair done to my 2003 cadillac: new bearings in both front wheels, new power steering line, rotors turned, cv axel replaced.I also bought new Michelin "Symmetry" tires as I am taking a long trip.
I had Toyo tires with some wear and had them rotated at another place other than my mechanic's. After that I noticed the humming noise in the front; it sounds like it is coming fron the driver's side and is most noticeable when I drive 35 or 40 mph. My mechanic said he checked everything carefully and couldn't figure out the problem.
My 2013 ES350 is 3 months old, treated like a baby, and today I noticed paint peeling on the left front rim in two places (white areas on photo below). I never hit a curb (or anything else), and there is no dent or scratch associated with this.

View 14 RepliesHaving problems with the paint chipping on the rear bumper? Dealer said on the phone paint is only covered if it rusts. Will bring it in tomorrow for them to check, but I'm not getting a good feeling that they will cover it. Car has only 3500 miles on it! Bumper shouldn't be chipping like this.
View 18 RepliesI was washing my car yesterday and I was on the driver side washing by the headlamp. I noticed that their was no gap between the headlamp and the bumper where they meet. I further noticed that the bumper didn't match up right in the wheel well. Also the paint is bubbled up under the headlamp. I proceeded to the other side of the car and everything is normal.
I am slightly ticked off about this. I don't know what to think about this. The strange thing is that there are no scratches or dents or anything of that nature on the messed up side. Could this be something messed up from the factory since there are no scratches or dents? I don't really want to take this to the dealer.
I am having an issue with my car not starting due to the alarm i see you can bypass but i was wondering if i have an aftermarket alarm installed would that take care of the problem.
View 9 RepliesAt times when going to start our 1998 Caddy you can turn the key and ..... nothing happens, no clicking ... nothing. Everything else works but it is like you are not even turning the key. Is there a weak spot on these cars?
I am familiar with solenoid/starter issues but this seems a bit different for some reason.
I have a 1992 Cadillac DeVille with 25,000 miles on it. It’s never been driven in the winter and garaged when not being driven.Last year, it was running rough, so I took it to the dealer. They changed the spark plugs and wires. There seemed to be some improvement after that. After about 500 miles, it started to rn rough again. I returned to the dealer who changed the spark plugs again and replaced two of the fuel injectors. Still no improvement. A few hundred miles later, I took it to a local mechanic. He replaced four more fuel injectors and there seemed to be some improvement.After another few hundred miles, the engine started to run rough again, the fuel dropped down from about 20 mpg to 10 mpg, and it stalls at traffic stops or if the brake is applied. After 30 minutes of idling it will use 5 gallons of gas. There are no strange odors or visible leakage.
View 2 RepliesRecently my check engine light came on on my 98 Cadillac Deville. I went to Autozone and got a free engine diagnostic and was given a printout of a bunch of stuff I did not understand, the technician told me it was just an issue with the light, and it could be fixed with unhooking the black end of my battery for 10m. Just a little bit ago, i popped the hood, and touched the black end of the battery to see how i could unplug it. When i touched it I heard a click and now there is no power to my car. Every time i jiggle the negative end I hear a click from the right side of the engine and nothing happens. I did not even unhook the battery.

View 10 Replies04 deville. Trans is stuck in gear. Or seems to be. Car is off. Crank car, starts fine so gear selector/neutral safety switch is ok? Car is running, shifter is in park, take foot off brake amd car moves forward. Since its in gear. Apply brake, shift to neu or rev and car will still move forward. The 2000 caddys had an external neutral safety switch. The 04 cars have an internal switch. If that has an bearing on discussion. Could trans shifter linkage inside trans be messed up? So spool valve in trams is always in gear but shift selector works properly so car can be started?

View 3 Replies1995 Cadillac DeVille Base 8Cyl 4.9L - Transmissions & Drivetrains check vehicle soon, error code p039 TCC engagement Torque Converter Clutch. I looked up what error code p039. How to correct the problem.
The problem I think is the torqure converter sensor or pcm = Powertrain Control Module / prom = Programable Read Only Memory is not working or sending the single to the computer.
The trans does not slip and drives great. Is there a chip or module I can purchase if so where. How can I find out how to repair myself if possible.
I have a 1991 Cadillac DeVille sedan with about 150,000 miles, I purchased this at an estate sale. As soon as I bought it, I replaced the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, serpentine belt, power steering pulley, and of course changed the oil and oil filter. I was getting about 14-15 mpg (compared to 12 when I picked the car up). And the car ran good, not like brand new, but good. About a couple of weeks ago (as it started getting hot) the car would start chugging, backfiring and stalling, only after about 20 miles of driving (my commute to work is 35 mi), so I would spend the other 15 miles driving with four-ways on going at most 30 mph. But, on the drive home (at 2 am) I would have no issues. So, I got sick of that fun and changed the PVC valve and fuel filter (which looked like the original) and with every fill-up in addition to using 93 octane gas (as directed) and fuel injector cleaner, the gas mileage is around 10 mpg and the chugging persists after heating up. Two things to note,
1) the fans for the radiator do not turn on at all, and
2) the catalytic converter doesn't smell like rotten eggs.
