  • Am I Satisfied ? ? - 2001 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    I truly love the car. Very responsive. Cant believe it from a car of this weight and size. Very impressive from the start of the engine. However, I use a quart of oil every 2500 miles. I also have a 2000 DeVille that uses a quart every 1500 miles. Great engine, if you can keep oil in it.

  • Unexpected Problems after 20,000 miles - 2001 Cadillac Seville

    Perfect for first 20k miles. Then Crankcase sensors, front end problems, and now the battery post broke and fell off.As the battery is under the rear seat, who knew? and the acid filled the well under the seat.Mechanic said it is not unusual and the acid may eat thru the metal. Love the car, hate the reliability. Thank goodness for the warranty, but it has to go.

    This is an awesome car with a few major exceptions. First and foremost, the suspension is so sensitve, you cant keep the tires balanced. Michelins are essential, as the factory Goodyears are junk and have no business on this car. Also, too many electronic "doodads" that fail. Mine has been in the shop several times for failed sensors. A great car to drive overall, especially when the tires are balanced!

    No major problems once the Goodyear tires were replaced by the dealer at no charge.

    I like mine,I give it 2 big thumbs up. However, I believe that the electric gadgets is to much to go wrong. Its the closest American made car to the C- 5 Vette, in a "4dr" you can get. From the deep floor pans for leg room to the 300hp Northstar its 1st class sport luxury.Brand new mine ran 15.03 @ 96 MPH in the 1/4 mile.I have raced and BEAT many Mustang GTs on the street from a roll-on. With its massive weight its not a trill outta the hole but once you get it moving, HANG-ON!Now that mine is broke-in im certain it would run 14.80s or better.

  • Crank Sensors - 2001 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    I agree with Vosser. This is my sixth Cadillac, the first Seville. At 9,000 miles, it needed a new power steering pump which seemed to take the dealer forever to obtain. At 12000 miles, it stalled out in the middle of a busy city street where the speed limit was 45 mph. The diagnosis via On Star was defective crank sensors. For the nearly $46K this vehicle cost, such problems are simply not acceptable.
