2001 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"Unless you live next door to a Cadillac dealer and have deep pockets... stay away from this car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Suspension Sensor faulty, $300+ repair
Stalls for no reason
Theft Deterrent system faulty, $600+ to repair, had to have it towed to dealer
Service Engine soon light goes on after gas fill up and stays on for a few days
Battery Post broke although located under seat. Had to have it towed to dealer. No Explanation from Dealer except to replace...Expensive!
General comments?
Comfortable, classy looking. Loved the powerful engine but completely unreliable car. Handled beautifully.
