| Engine, have had the head gasket fail at 71,000 miles, had engine rebuilt, now at 92,000 miles head gasket has failed again, had mechanic replace it, however the bolt hole in the aluminum block has had the threads strip out at only 40 lbs. of torque and dealer can offer no possible repair advice for this problem, having a new engine put in vehicle at this time, also clear coat finish on upper right corner of front fender has come off causing the dark blue finish to become white. car also dies randomly when pulling up to stop lights or slowing down. also having all engine and transmission mounts replaced due to failure of two mounts. expect more from cadillac than this type of low quality. *la | |||
