2001 Cadillac DeVille DTS review from North America
"This is not what I paid for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From the day I picked the car up from the dealership, there's been a wheel/ tire vibration that begins at approximately 110 km/hour. After numerous tire balances, the dealership finally approved replacing all tires. The dealership went through 8 Goodyear tires before they found 4 that at least reduced the vibration. After considerable additional complaining, they finally authorized replacement of all 4 tires with Michelin MXV4's. This seemed to work for a couple of months, but now the vibration is back. Now the only answer I'm being given is that the ride of this $75,000.00 Canadian luxury car is SUPPOSED to be a bit stiffer. I can't believe we let these manufacturers get away with this. I'm not willing to just let this go. My next conversation will be with the Dealership owner, who hopefully will care more than his service department does.
