1996 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Too many out -sourced components"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too many trips to the dealer to list, but the latest is a safety issue. The fuel injector lines (plastic) were vaporizing gas over the engine. Why this didn't ignite is a mystery. Total replacement of this molded component will be close to $1500. This GM really was and is a Grand Mistake.
General comments?
The ride is too soft.
