2002 Cadillac DeVille SDN review from North America
"Very overpriced with Cadillac quality gone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drive ability concerns started 08/2003 and continued to grow.
04/2005 replaced 2 push in retainers left front at 30780 miles, replaced left upper strut mount bearing and left outer tie rod, major vibration all at 43111 mile.
07/2006 shimmy in front end at 49109 miles, dealership blaming tires.
Steering and suspension issues at 51484 miles still having vibration issue.
Rack and pinion replaced. on going issues had to have transmission and left front tie rod repaired at 71726 miles. by then out of warranty and Cadillac's response "will give 2100 toward purchase of new car".
Car using a lot of oil since new and leather seats worn worse then replacment car at age of 13 years.
General comments?
Nice looking car (package)
But quality no longer with package.
