| There is some bills i did not keep.bought the car sept 4th 1998. i had to have them make repairs everytime i took it in for a oil change, i drive an hour to the barboursville automall, inc. in west va where i bought it. the computer control chip for the strut sensor is still not fixed, it flashes do not drive over 90 miles an hour constantly when i drive, which is distracting,that has been doing it since 12/02. they just put a new one in and it also does not work. the front seat heater went out in november and did not get one till april. i told them about the bumping of the car since i got it and they just put 1 strut on the car. they put grease on them and also they told me they found a piece of paper,and they changed the brakes pads and turned the rotors twice trying to fix the bumping. the paint on the car doesn't fell like it should. i have bought other cadillacs in the past years. i didn't fight the last cadillac it was a 98 cadillac eldorado serial number #1g6et1296wu603117 changed cars because it had a leak in the trunk and i took it back 5 times and they ended up packing it with super glue where everyone could see it. it was also in a hail storm and they bonded it instead of getting me new parts,it was making me to nervous so my husband bought the sts. there is other bills which i can't find but i have had trouble with this sts since i got it.i did write the cadillac people and they said i had to take it up with the dealer which i have been with no satisfaction, i'm talking to david and my case number is 1-119401313. the cadillac company said they would keep my letter i wrote them few years ago. i'm still wanting to drive a cadillac,which i told david and kept telling the dealership. i haven't got the bills when i first had the trouble but someone must, david agreed that i have had it worked on every time i went for an oil change. | |||

| Clunks, squeeks and rubbing noise from rear suspension. noise apparent when turning up a slope, starting forward from a standing stop, or going over road dips. reported three times to dealer before they investigated. last report resulted in dealer fixing what was described as a missing weld in the right rear wheel well. however, noise returned shortly after, and now the vehicle is out of warranty. dealer says they aren't aware of any other rear suspension problems with this make and model. however, another dealer told me cadillac was aware of rear suspension problems when the car was introduced in january, 1998 (a month before i got mine), and that they were going to be fixed before cars got delivered. *ak | |||
