1981 Cadillac Brougham review from North America
"Love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Throttle body needed rebuilding at 135K.
Air condiotining air mix motor failed.
General comments?
This is a very comfortable car.
The fuel mix is controlled by the computer and dealers seem to be unaware of how to fix it.
Would appreciate hearing from people who are experienced with this car.
