Five attempted repairs at dealer unsuccessful.

Main bearing failure at 105200km

Five engines installed between 1999 and 2003 ($5000)

Traded in and lost a total of $24,000.00 on this car for 5000 km of very troubled driving and court battles

Power windows failed regularly.

I bailed more water out of my STS than I bailed out of my boat.

Was insulted by Cadillac engineering without appology.

Best use of premium gas in a four door when it ran.

Dreadful support from Cadillac and no willingness to fix known flaws that other manufactures have repaired.

I agree with everything you have written about Cadillacs lack of interest in the problems. I'm surprised that no media attention has ever focused on these models and a recall issued.

I completely agree I bought a 1994 STS because of all of the praise I heard. What a Load!! I had always bought sports cars and finally decided to buy a sensible car that would last me a long time...HA!! at 108,000mi it blew a head gasket, heated up to the point it warped the engine block and was told a repair would be $15,000 this was in 2001 before there was an abundance of these motors and a new one was the only option. I had only had the car for 1 year and still owed over $15,000 on it at 500.00/mo I just finished paying for it now I lost my job because I couldn't get to work and have not found as good a paying one since. I previously worked at a GM dealership and can confirm right now GM does not care about it's customers at all.. most of the time the dealership ate the cost of repairs for good customers because GM wouldn't cover them. even under warranty. take a big example lumina brakes in the pre 95 cars would burn out every 3,000 miles or so. Gm said that's a regular wear item it's not covered, regular wear on brake pads and rotors is usually about 15,000mi

another is the fuel injectors on post 95 luminas you cannot run reformulated gas in them the fuel gels in the injectors and clogs them GM never let anyone know and in new york state that's all you could get for a while so all the cars were clogging up, GM response and this is an actual quote from corporate dealer services "that's not our problem, they can get gas somewhere else!" I truly hope GM goes bankrupt.

I am going back to BMW's besides they have a resale value!

I just bought a 94 Seville STS with 202,000 miles. It runs like an absolute dream. I'm usually into muscle cars, so its also driven like one. It has consumed no oil from my use to date, solid drive train and superlative handling characteristics. I guess its all in how the car is maintained. I plan on buying another one. brennan_coop@hotmail.com.

My dad bought a 1994 Cadillac Seville STS at an auction for $1,600 with 166,000 miles on it. He had to replace the starter, and got the transmission fluid changed, and that was it. It drives great and all of the electronics still work fine. He's had it for a year and put 20,000 miles on it. Sounds like a good car to me.
