  1996 Deville Issues - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By newportbill - September 13 - 9:14 pm

  Inherited this vehicle from my in-laws and have spent the last few months getting in working order. Oil leaks that are cost-prohibitive to repair along with occasional over-heating (despite flushing of cooling system). Also, only about 10-12 MPG in city despite several fuel system treatments. Finally, electronic fuel display that jumps up and down several gallons within minutes.

  IF YOURE LOOKING FOR A MONEY PIT, THIS IS YOUR CAR - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By colorado0956 - June 4 - 7:32 pm

  Ive owned many cars during my life, but this car is by far the worst car Ive ever owned. It is nothing more than a money pit. It had less than 20K mi when I bought it in 05. Ive put less than 30K mi on the car since owning it. In that time, Ive spent $5700 in repairs. That is awful for a car that has fewer than 60K miles on it. In the 5 yrs Ive owned the car, it has cost me $1100/annually in repairs. Thats pathetic. Those repairs consist of complete axle work, brakes, rotors & shocks, new transmission w/ all 4 motor mounts, new starter, window problems & many more problems, not to mention that it drinks oil. I got rid of that pc of junk & bought a Honda! No more GM for me. No Thanks!

  first & last Cadillac - 2004 Cadillac Deville
  By Curt - January 4 - 1:54 pm

  Always drove "big" T-Birds & Buick Park Avenues. Ive experienced problems I have never had before. Battewry "blew" up in my garage, ruining large area of concrete. Drivers window went out early & now drivers remote mirror is out & passenger side window went out in down position while out of town in cold weather. Id rather drive my 05 Grand Cherokee. Gas mileage is definitely good maybebestthing about the Cadillac. Ill be lookimg for a replacement soon.

  Junk - 1997 Cadillac Deville
  By scharfenberg - September 1 - 3:21 am

  I would never by a Cadillac again. Ive replaced the motor due to head bolts stripped out of motor. They make an 800 dollar kit to fix the problem but it did not work due to already being done the wrong way. If I were you stay away from 96 to 2000 or you will have a bill of 3500 dollars like i did. If youre thinking about buying one I have this to say to you. Its the biggest pile of junk there is and if I were gm i would be ashamed of putting my name on it.

  Cadillac Deville 2003 unreal value - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By 2003 DEVILLE CAD - August 3 - 6:50 pm

  The five year old 2003 deville Cadillac I purchased has been a headache and wallet drain ache. It has been many times to dealership for this or that repairs under warranty or I am paying the bill. Then the dealership damages it and wont repair unless I pay. The gm parts are expensive ($7.00 plastic retainer) and you wait for them to order them. The noise caused by the self leveling system is aggravating to hear. The car is so big and bulky that you can not maneuver it easily. The power steering is soft however. Yet that steering had to be repaired also to be soft and noiseless. The quality and workmanship is not worth the money you spend to buy. Next car I purchase will be a new one and not gm.

  Catalytic converter - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By PATRICIA CRAFFEY - April 22 - 6:56 am

  This car is a nightmare. Since I owned it from 2001 I have replace cat converter and now replacing a third one broke down in ct had to find a dealer to be towed to broke down in NH and had to find a dealer to be towed to. First one I was near a dealer in ma. I have to keep checking the oil because it uses a lot. Dealer said this is "normal" I have a 1995 Cadillac and it runs real smooth. Do not think I will buy another Cadillac. Maybe go to the foreign car even though I said "never". Goodbye to Detroit.

  Never Again - 1999 Cadillac Deville
  By Rob - March 28 - 12:28 pm

  Bought this car in May of 2007 with 53,000 miles on it, and it has been trouble ever since. First power window motors went out. Second crank seal caused oil leak (At 62,000 miles). During repairs mechanic forgot to put a latch on the right front passenger wheel causing me to lose a wheel (Thankfully) in a garage. Dealership would not refund me the money of the repairs even though they were dangerously done. Now the car is in the shop due to two blown head gaskets. Cadillac Customer Service department is not willing to help out with anything.

  This car is junk - 1999 Cadillac Deville
  By Do Not Buy Deville - April 25 - 1:37 pm

  This car has been nothing but problems. Odometer now reads 94K. Replaced AC system, radiator, thermostat, hoses, coolant reservoir. The fan for the heat and A/C has a mind of its own and usually decides not to operate. The drivers seat cushioning and leather surface has failed, needed complete seat re-conditioning. One quart of oil every 1000 miles. GM should be embarassed about the quality of fit and finsih on the car interior. The carraige roof rattles above 65 mph. The antenna motor has failed. Must carry replacement bulbs. I strongly advise anyone considering this car to proceed with caution. There is nothing about this car that would encourage me to consider purchasing a General Motors car ever again.

  Lemons - 1997 Cadillac Deville
  By Fletch - July 1 - 11:10 am

  My DeVille had roughly 900 miles and the front tire rim and all went flying across 3 lanes of traffic. I bought the car new off the dealers show room floor and its title stated 3 miles, but the odometer read 35 miles. I drove it for less than 5 minutes when we noticed a vibration in the front end, took the car back 5 or 6 times then the front tire came flying off. I wanted paper work for all the times the car was back in the shop, but the dealer wouldnt give it to us since they KNEW for a fact they sold us a lemon. With 35 miles on the car somnone from the dealer had to know there was a vibration and the car had flaws, also a new car should have 5 miles or less when titled we got hosed big time.
