  great car but.... - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By kate58 - May 13 - 3:35 pm

  I bought this car with 89000 miles on it. two weeks after it was bought the problems started. One day while driving, the battery light came and the car shut off. I replaced the battery (what the dealership told me was the ONLY problem). after the new battery it ran fine for about a month then it started again. The dealer told me nothing was wrong with it. Every time i turn on the a/c or heat the car will shut off, even when randomly driving it shuts off. The service tire monitor light came on, fixed that only for it to come back on shortly after. Love the car despite these issues but just wish the dealer would have helped more.

  No quality in some systems - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By Anonymous - December 6 - 6:12 am

  Bought this practically new 25,000miles car from my neighbor and thought that being a $50,000 Cadillac, it would be a wothwhile opportunity. Wrong! In less than 5,000 miles and 8 months since bought, I have had to replace each front window mechanisms twice. The SS cable just lets go of the support bracket although its new. Too wide turning radius, no U turns allowed without backing up. The A/C works well but it showers the occupants with a black greasy foam which has damaged the carpet, seats and occupant clothing. Impossible to remove cleanly and very costly to repair. Too plastic int. As stated to the dealer, this is supposed to be a $50K car and the features do not justify cost.

  Expensive to Maintain - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By Anonymous - December 6 - 6:06 am

  Had to replace water pump @40k mi. Failed about 10k mi. later 2nd replacement / Three window regulators..not cheap! Broken motor mounts.. Now @ 87k miles transmission has to be rebuilt which will include torque converter expected costs 2200-3000 dollars .The sad part is Im still making payments on this car that I loathe. I am a professional school bus driver and am not hard on cars.. my last Cad. is a 94 el Dorado with 200k mi. and Ive spent very little in maintenance and repairs and we plan to drive it till theres nothing left but the steering wheel, love that car!

  Didnt Cadillac stand for class? - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By No Good - May 4 - 1:53 am

  Second owner car only had 40K on it. within the first 2 months both rear windows when out. At a year or so the ignition when out ($500 bucks at the dealership) and now at 57K the crank position sensors($320 at pep boys) when out. Dont buy cadillac unless it come with a warranty, you extra cash to throw away and /or you love hanging out at the auto shop.

  GM Quality? - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By Rudy Moon - September 30 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my 2000 DeVille for 2 1/2 years, and its a fine car when it is not in for repairs. Unfortunately, it spends too much time in the shop, mostly for problems related to initial construction and component failure - not dealer service & support. Ive been stranded twice ... ONSTAR doesnt work when you have electrical problems .... but its fun riding 100 miles in a tow truck with a "good ol boy". Im not sure I can afford this car after the warranty runs out.
