2000 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Beautiful piece of crap."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dash Pad shrank and came loose.
Rack & Pinion Steering leaks.
A/C compressor went out.
Drive belt broke.
Traction Control system failed.
Coolant System leaks.
THE DREADED 2000-2005 FRONT END VIBRATION.
Rear high mounted 3rd brake light failed TWICE.
Stereo system crackles.
Rear self-leveling suspension leaks.
General comments?
DO NOT BUY THIS CAR AS A USED VEHICLE. TO DO SO IS ASKING FOR A FINANCIAL NIGHTMARE.
Fast car and handles well for a car it's size below 60. In between 60 and 78 mph the vibration in the front end will rattle your teeth. Totally unacceptable. The front-end vibration is UNREPAIRABLE! See other reviews for information on this engineered flaw.
Great front seats.
High maintenance and high cost maintenance, it cost $324 to change the spark plugs. $300 to change the drive belt.
After three failed Northstar cars I will never, ever buy another Cadillac.
Do yourself a favor and buy a Lincoln.
