2001 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 2001 Deville with 37000 miles. I still have the original battery. Last week I had AAA jump start the car and I brought it in for service. The battery had ruptured and eaten a 4 inch hole under the rear seat where it is installed. Repair cost will be about $1300 and Cadillac says--too bad. This is my fifth and last Cadillac.
General comments?
I like the car, but Cadillac service has been unreliable. There is obviously a flaw in the design. Cadillac has a repair kit for the problem. I bought a Cadillac for superior service and driveability. I expected Cadillac to be more responsible in this situation.
