  high maintenance - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By covergirl - July 1 - 12:35 pm

  this car is high maintenance. this is my second cadillac and they both leaked oil. the low profile tires are horrible for chuck holes and the winter months. i dont get good "premium" gas mileage because of the engine. whenever you get repairs done its extra because a lot of the parts are "cadillac" parts. it takes more oil and more of everything. and i always end up paying for new parts that wasnt even broken. but they have to take out to fix the problem.

  Not Up To World Standards - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By Bill Willfield - November 4 - 4:34 pm

  During my first 30,000 miles with my 2001 Cadillac Seville SLS it has been in the shop way too many times. The instrument panel computer failed 3 times, both front seat heaters failed, the left rear door just would not open, the engine stopped (no steering - scared my wife who was driving) ad nauseum. I have owned six Cadillacs. This is absolutely the worst.

  2001 Cadillac Seville STS Review - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By Hudson Jeff - April 28 - 2:00 am

  Acceleration seems slow and the car feels too heavy. The front wheel drive with 300 horsepower causes the traction control to come on constantly in slick conditions. I replaced the factory Goodyears with Michelins and it improved. Lots of little problems need fixing, thank goodness it’s under warranty. The interior is nice and comfortable and the sound system is good. Lots of standard features. Definitely not a driver’s car. Huge first year depreciation hit. Consider a purchase it performance is secondary to comfort. Even smarter is buying one a year or two old and avoid the depreciation hit.

  I had expected much more from a Cadillac - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By BigSix - October 28 - 2:00 am

  When I bought the "top of the line" Cadillac, I thought I was receiving, the best American Made Car I could get. Boy, are we in trouble. After 14 months, I have a service repair history about 10 feet long. I have had my car in 15-20 times, all for problems I would not have expected in a $54K car. For example, broken plastic "wood" pieces, rattles, squeaks, computer replacement/reprogramming, power steering, motor mount, transmission, and brakes!! For a car that is advertised as a "race car", I havent had a set of pads or rotors that have lasted longer than 5000 miles!! Ive put at least 10000 miles on rental DeVilles since I bought this *New* STS!

  Northstar stalling problems X 3 - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By vosser - June 29 - 2:00 am

  This is my third Cadillac I have owned, this new one stalls while driving down the street. They have replaced the engine crank sensors. Then they say when I bring it back the second time for the same problem they put a diagnostic package on it and could not get the problem to duplicate. How can I search for others for possible solution or retribution? I am glad Wisconsin has a "lemon law" and will not be hesitant to invoke it. Unless they reair it permanently or replace it now on the third try for the same problem it will be the last Cadillac I purchase.
