2000 Cadillac DeVille dhs review from North America
"Doesn't have the level of manufacturing quality found in Cadillacs 15 years ago"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car developed a vibration between 65-75 miles per hour. Similar to problems expressed by others on this site. Car was down to last 3,000 miles or warranty, so I took an aggressive approach with the dealer.
General comments?
The dealer first recommended new tires. I put on the same brand (Michelin Symmetrys) as original equipment. Also replaced two slightly bent wheels. Didn't help. Dealer installed new control arms. Didn't help. Dealer power balanced the tires. Didn't help. Dealer installed new trans-axles (drive shaft from the transmission to the wheel). FIXED IT!!
