2000 Cadillac Seville SLS review from North America
"Beautiful to the eye, but overshadowed by high cost maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both ride control front struts failed.
Both front heated seats failed.
Unusually high tire replacement.
Front wheel bearing failures.
Three battery failures.
Steering rod failures.
Electrical short, located in the headliner.
Coil bank failure.
General comments?
This car has great engine performance and the ride, when not vibrating, is great.
Interior comforts are what you would expect from Cadillac.
