2000 Cadillac DeVille DHS review from North America
"Nice car, but lots of trouble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine knocks and pings, even though I am using premium gas, and the dealership cannot find a way to improve it. The last time I was at the dealership, they gave me a copy of the owner's manual page that states that knocking and pinging is expected in this car!!!
I am having to add a quart of oil every 1000 miles, and I think that is way too much! The dealership has done an oil consumption test, but can't find any problem.
The rear stabilizer makes too much noise, and seems to start and stop at unexplained intervals. The dealership has told me this is within normal levels.
General comments?
I love the seat back heaters in both the front and back of the car. That is my favorite feature.
I enjoy the roominess of the interior.
