| I leased this car in january of 1997. this year i purchased the car. before the warranty expired, i took my car in for an oil change and asked that the car be given an overall inspection because of the pending expiration of the warranty. i was told everything was ok . the weather began to warn up and notice something was wrong with the air.i took the car back to the dealer and was told that the compessor was gone. i called general motors in detroit. they told me i would have to work something out with the dealer. i got a second opinion from grammers automotive repair (901-373-3072) they told me the compressor had to be replaced. they suggested that i go back to the dealer. that i would probably get a better replacement price from them. cadillac of memphis replaced the compressor for $ 393.89. after they replaced the compressor, i have found three other owners of cadillacs will fail compressors that occurred shortly after the warranties had expired. i contacted delphi automotive systems, the maker of the compressor. the letter was sent certified in june. i don't understand why these compressors are failing in cars in which the warranties have just expired. i wad told at cadilac of memphis that things like this just happen. i was told that some stange things go on in that service department at cadillac of memphis. they are the only cadillac dealer in this area. your attention regarding this matter is greatly appreciated. | |||

| This is a copy of an email i sent to cadillac. cadillac did respond, however, they are not pursuing this issue any further. i had a very disturbing experience this past saturday evening, february 15, 2003. my wife and myself went out for dinner and the right front tire went flat. it was only 15 degrees out and i decided to change the tire myself. i loosened the lug nuts, then using the factory jack, raised the car, took off the flat tire, installed the spare, and hand tightened all the lugs nuts. i then went to lower the jack and as i started turning the bolt to lower the car, the jack broke and the car fell. luckily i was not under the tire or any other part of the car. when i pulled the jack out from under the car, the sides of the jack tore. it appears that the jack was made out of material about twice the thickness of sheet metal. the jack was not robust enough to handle a 4000 lb. car. i was parked on a level parking lot when i changed the tire. *jb | |||

| While jack was deployed in proper manner on level concrete, within minutes of raising vehicle the scissor arms of jack broke and vehicle fell. in addition the jack screw was bent slightly. *yh | |||

| Consumer went to jack up vehicle to change tire with jack that came equipped with vehicle when it bent over and collapsed, which could have caused injuries. consumer had only used jack once prior to this incident. dealer was contacted, and replaced jack with the same design which was already bent. *ak *ml | |||
