| I own 2 1999 cadilac deville's. one in ny & one in fl. both vehicles had the exact same problem. the power steering pump had to be replaced in both cars because of a grinding and difficulty in steering. this seems to be due to a defect that should have been recalled by general motors, and i should be reimbursed my cost of about $1000. for both repairs. | |||

| My 1999 cadillac deville has had two ongoing defects that have not been fixed. the problems began during the first year when the car was under warranty and after many service visits for repair has not been fixed. two warning indicator lights appear, 1.traction engaging light and 2.anti-lock brake light continue to illuminate. at the same time there is an intermittent growling noise and the brakes grab and make the steering difficult. cadillac is aware of the defects and the car has been at the cadillac dealer numerous times to correct these two defects but the problems persist. cadillac state that the car does not meet the criteria for buy back and therefore i am in possession of a car that poses two safety hazards and i am fearful to drive the car and it would be unethical to sell an unsafe car. *jb | |||
