I have a 2001 Deville with 37000 miles. I still have the original battery. Last week I had AAA jump start the car and I brought it in for service. The battery had ruptured and eaten a 4 inch hole under the rear seat where it is installed. Repair cost will be about $1300 and Cadillac says--too bad. This is my fifth and last Cadillac.
I like the car, but Cadillac service has been unreliable. There is obviously a flaw in the design. Cadillac has a repair kit for the problem. I bought a Cadillac for superior service and driveability. I expected Cadillac to be more responsible in this situation.
How can you say the car is "unreliable"? You had one problem with the car. Yes it was very expensive, but that does not qualify the car as unreliable. Maybe "poor design" or "flawed". An unreliable vehicle is one that has many problems and the owner might be afraid to drive long distances with it. Seems as if you are bitter because Cadillac didn't rule in your favor.
Could this be yet another unhappy customer looking for a "lifetime warranty"???
