1999 Cadillac DeVille DTS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased this car because the body looked great. I thought all I had to do is put $500 into head gaskets, and install them myself because I am a good engine builder. I found out on the Internet that the engines in this year were not drilled properly, and a customer satisfaction recall was created by GM. My engine was measured through the procedures as laid out by GM, and they will not honour their own recall. This is a disgrace to the manufacturer, and with our consumer protection laws, how can they get away with this? This is misrepresentation of the product, and should never have been sold in this condition. GM knows the error is drilling the block holes that are improper, and still does not want to fix the garbage they made. The customer satisfaction recall is campaign number 99086.
