2002 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Over-all nice car with too many flaws for the price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have to express my disappointment with the 2002 DeVille. It is beautiful, powerful, comfortable, and reasonable on gas. But, I had to replace a front-end wheel bearing at 40,000 miles, and it was out of warranty! To make matters worse, I have an intermittent vibration that comes and goes over 40 mph. It doesn't happen all the time, sometimes the ride is smooth as silk even at high speeds. It feels like a wheel balance problem, but reading some of the other reviews here, it sounds like a manufacturer's flaw. I will be replacing the tires shortly due to wear, but I doubt it will do anything to improve this vibration.
General comments?
Car is very fast, but a bit bouncy in front, and an annoying intermittent vibration.
