1995 Cadillac DeVille Sedan review from North America
"Unreliable expensive nightmare on wheels!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blower Motor didn't work at 194,000 Kms.
2 Ball Joints around the same time.
Two rod ends at 195,000.
Calipers / Rotors at 195,000.
Two front struts / Two rear Shocks.
Security System (Chipped Key) went at 198,000 (car wouldn't start)
2 Rear wheel Bearings at 198,000.
Front Bearing at 199,000.
Catalytic Converter - 199,000.
General comments?
I really hope this is the worst car I'll ever own, because I hope it can't get much worse than this.
Everything I just listed went wrong in the span of about 6,000kms.
This car is a total nightmare to drive, everytime I go somewhere something goes wrong.
It's also very expensive for parts, 500 for a bearing, 600 for a blower motor, 1000 per strut (Thankfully I got a replacement set from strutmasters)
I remember trying to fix one problem, and then the car wouldn't start stating "Starting disabled due to theft system, please wait 3 minutes"
I spent the entire day trying to fix this and eventually had to buy a resistor and start messing with wires.
I don't know why people say it gets good feul mileage, I think it's terrible. I'm avg 20mpg... in the city it's about the same as a hummer!
My oldsmobile 88 was 10 times the car this thing is... it had over 320,000 kms when I got this car and it still runs.
Every time I move it I think to myself... theres a new "knock"... theres a new grinding sound...
Yuck!
