1992 Cadillac Seville SLS review from North America
"An expensive waste of money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The catalytic converter was replaced twice.
The front motor mount went bad which ruined the entire exhaust system from the headers back. Was $800 to repair.
Water pump was replaced twice in two years.
Seat recliner mechanisms broke and had to be welded in place.
Radiator leaks.
Brake line valves went in the rear. Very costly to replace.
Oil pan gasket replaced due to leak. Car still leaks oil everywhere.
Front load leveling struts replaced with regular struts. Now information center is stuck on "Service Ride Control"
Rear door lock broken.
Cassette player no longer works.
General comments?
This car for the price has not really been worth it. I bought this car due to the fact that it DID NOT have a northstar motor.
It has so many flaws that I hate to admit that it's a Cadillac.
I'm embarrassed to park it in anyones driveway because it leaks so many fluids.
The car is however really sharp. It also has great styling that does not look outdated for such an old car. The power and performance are great, but there are so many little things that go wrong that are annoying!!
