When very cold, there is a whining sound in front of steering wheel, disappears after 2 minutes.
Check Engine is on and off
Some vibration, now gone.
If you are on a quest to find absolutely beautiful car, full of surprises (good and bad ones), your search has finished. This car is exactly like my wife - I love her dearly, the more I live with her the more I understand what a right choice I made. Sometimes I look at her and understand that she graced me with her presence. But sometimes she behaves so bitchy that you want to push it off the cliff.
In previous paragraph every word can be equally attributed to the both of them. That's what makes a great car, driver's mixture of feelings. How can you relate to plain vanilla, bumpy-riding, vomit inducing Toyota Camry that has no soul, just a reliable engine and 4 no-name wheels.
Getting to the point. the car is lavishly designed and as you get used to it, none of the options seems luxurious anymore - it is a necessity.
Some Seville owners complain on vibration, I managed to get rid of it with relatively small blood - set of V-rated Yokohama Avid tires and Hunter machine high speed balancing/wheel alignment. All this talk about Michelins makes me think these people get some kickbacks from Michelin Man himself. It's a tad overhyped. I think that high quality Bridgestones or in my case Yokohamas should do the job. The matter is balancing and making shure that rotors aren't warped (especially if you r using a drilled ones)
Sir I'd say you must be a new owner. Give it time. The only thing that keeps you from driving this car in the river is the ageless looks. Gasket failures, coolant leaks, and various other engine problems plague this car. As I said just give it time.
You all have a problem with the Seville and the problem is this: you think that this awe-inspiring machine was made to go 65 mph. Its not! Its made to go 95+. I have taken my beast up to 125+ and it never handled better. Speed up America, stop pussying around.
I really like the 94-03 or so Sevilles. They are one of the best looking four door sedans ever. But I see so many nasty comments and just plain frustration from current and previous owners. But then again, other people just gush over them. It scares me away from trying one.
I recently purchased a 2000 STS, and everything good and bad that I have read is true.
Three days after I bought it the heater core went out, the driver heated seat does not work, the car has been consuming some oil, and the steering was tight while parking until I used Lucas power steering fix in it.
But, this is one beautiful, near immaculate machine. This car drives like a dream until you get to the vibration, which is minor at 70 or so.
If there are no other problems, I will keep it for a few years as a traveling vehicle. The drives make it worth keeping.
