1998 Cadillac Catera review from North America
"Expensive mistake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ecm computer fried at 45000 miles, $1600 at dealer. Electrical short from positive wire harness. Fuel pump died at 50000.check engine light always on. Several electrical problems.
General comments?
One expensive trip to the shop after another. Car looks great, handles great. But too many pro blems. Cadillac dealers hate even hearing the word catera. It was a Mistske for GM to make this car.
