I BOUGHT A USED 1997 CADILLAC FROM A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, IT DROVE LIKE A DREAM, THEN ON THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I TOLD THE SALESMAN ABOUT IT, AND HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, HE ASKED WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CAR OTHER THAN THE OIL LIGHT COMING ON , I TOLD HIM OTHER THAN THAT I COULDN,T FIND NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATTER I DROVE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS GONE, I PULLED IN AND PRECEDED TO LOOK AT OTHER CARS, WHEN THE SAME SALESMAN CAME OUT TO WAIT ON ME AND I ASKED ABOUT THE 97 CADILLAC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD FOUND THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, AND IF THEY WERE TO...
ON NOVEMBER 21, 2005, I PAYED WORKING MAN'S AUTO IN AUSTIN, TX TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS AS DOWN PAYMENT FOR AN "AS IS" 1997 CADILLAC DEVILLE. UPON GETTING THE CAR I INFORMED THE SALESMAN OF A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT THAT WAS ON THE DASHBOARD. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT "JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET". DUE TO MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE REGARDING VEHICLES I TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD. WHEN THE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET INSPECTED, IT WOULDNT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THIS "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT. THE MANAGER AND SALESMAN ASKED IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO GO THERE OTHER SITE IN NORTH AUSTIN TO GET THE CARS COMPUTER RESET. I AGREED, AND ON MY WAY THE CAR OVERHEATED AND BROKE DOWN. THE OWNER CAME AND REPLACED THE COOLANT IN THE CAR AND ASKED "WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DO?" I ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE...
I JANUARY 2004 I TOOK MY 97 CADILLAC DEVILLE TO BE SERVICED DUE TO AN INDICATOR LIGHT ON TO CHECK THE COOLANT SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO THE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF THE CADILLACS SINCE 1992 OF MOUNTING STEEL BOLTS IN ALLUMINUM MOTOR MOUNT WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO LAST ONLY UP TO 100,000 MILES. THE OPTIONS I WAS GIVER WERE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OR HAVE THE MOUNTS REBUILT BUT THE LATER NO LONGER CAME WITH A WARRANTY OPTION SINCE A FAMILY OPTED FOR THAT AT WHICH TIME THEIR ENGINE FELL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON THEIR WAY TO CALIFORNIA. GM INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD GIVE NO ASSISTANCE FOR ANY SOURCE OF REPAIR WITH OPENLY ADMITTING THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT WERE NOT PLANNING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE ENGINE DESIGN MUCH LESS RECALL THE VEHICLES....
