Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A USED 1997 CADILLAC SLS IN 1999 WHICH WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR HAS HAD ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OFF AND ON. I HAVE RELIGIOUSLY HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT THE RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE. I WAS TOLD AND LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE WAS VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE UP TO 100,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 82,000 MILES AND NOW THEY TELL ME THAT I NEED A NEW HEAD GASKET AT NICE COST OF $2800.00. I'M TIRED OF BEING CHARGED FOR "SOME LITTLE PROBLEM" EVERY TIME I BRING IT IN! *JB
