1999 Cadillac Catera review from North America
"A disaster for the consumer and there is no recourse whatsoever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the battery replaced at least 10 times in 18 months.
The head gasket blew at 50,000 miles.
Right tire rod replaced at 45,000 miles.
Three set of tires because of this.
The dealership was never able to located the electrical problem. I ended up trading for a Toyota.
General comments?
This is the worst car ever put on the market.
Cadillac realized their problem and refused to correct it.
As a single woman this was very dangerous for me to be stranded countless times.
