I have a 1999 Cadillac Deville with 54k Miles on it. It tries to start, but can't. When I disconnect the battery for a min or so and then start the car starts, but starts and immediately dies within 1 sec. The display says " Security system problem car may not restart" Please assist me in this problem,. My name is Travis (214) 243-5649, if I don't answer please leave message with contact info.
Just wanted to say, if you drive 100 miles a day between work as I once did, then you drive at least 500 miles a week or 26000 a year. In all reality, you probably drive closer to 28k or 30k a year.
Considering replacing brakes every 30k is fairly standard, I'd say that's exceptional for a large car. I had a '84 Buick Park Ave for a while, and I got about 20k on a set of pads. Granted, it had a second mechanism that sounded like a squealer only when I do not hit the brakes that came on when I had 55-60% pads left, but to shut it up I had to replace my front pads every 20k or so.
More expensive brake pads, such as ceramics might last longer, but will cost more and may not stop as smooth. I'd be fairly content with a year.
