I am having a problem with my 1998 Cadillac Sedan Seville vehicle speed control...I had my oil changed recently and they were trying to check the air filter but could not get the cover off...since then I have been having trouble with the speed control...could they have gotten something loose ...in the area of the air filter that would cause this...


Even with the cruise control off, the car still increases speed...I have to stop and turn the engine off...then restart it ...

Would this still be under a recall? Do the recalls ever expire?

Do you drive a 1998 CADILLAC DEVILLE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
