| 1998 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE | 1. GEAR SHIFT HAD TOO MUCH PLAY WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE (DEALER-NO PROBLEM FOUND) 2. REAR ROTORS REPLACED BECAUSE DEALER FOUND THEM WARPED AT 2221 MILES 3. RUNNING ROUGH AND ROTTEN SMELL (DEALER FOUND NO PROBLEM) 4. WIPERS WENT OUT ON 2/26/99, DEALER HAD TO ORDER PART SO DROVE TIL 3/2/99 WITHOUT WIPERS. UPON RETURNING TO DEALER ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAD GONE OUT. THEY KEPT THE CAR UNTIL 3/5, AGAIN WENT TO DEALER ON 3/26 FOR WIPERS NOT WORKING, STILL HAD TO ORDER MORE PARTS, RETURNED ON 4/6 TO GET REPLACED AGAIN. SO I WAS FROM 2/26/99 TO 4/6/99 WITHOUT WINDSHIELD WIPERS. 5. COMPLAINED OF NOISE WHEN TURNING RIGHT, THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM, I ALSO COMPLAINED OF ROUGH RIDE, THEY REPLACE BUSHINGS AND LUBED BAR - FELT BETTER FOR A DAY, BUT ROUGH RIDE RETURNED AFTER THAT. I FEEL THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR MORE THAN I HAVE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 5225 MILES ON A 13 MONTH OLD CADILLAC, THUS IS OUTRAGIOUS. THANK YOU. *AK |
