| 2000 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | MOTOR MOUNT BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO MOVE AND RUPTURE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. *AK LEFT STEERING TIE ROD WAS WORN ALMOST TO A POINT OF FAILURE. CADILLAC FELT THE CONSUMER WAS ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT, SO THEY SENT HIM A CHECK FOR $585.65 TO OFFSET TO SOME DEGREE THE FAILURE CAUSED. *PH *JB |
| 1996 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | INJECTOR ( PLASTIC) GAS LINES WERE SPRAYING VAPORIZED GAS OVER THE ENGINE. WHY THIS DIDN'T IGNITE IS BEYOND BELIEF! OUR CERTIFIED CADILLAC MECHANIC SAID THAT MOST CARS HAVE METAL GAS LINES NOT PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC HOSES ARE MOLDED INTO THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM SO WHEN THEY CRACK WITH AGE, THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM NOT JUST THE PLASTIC LINES. HOW WOULD ANYONE KNOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM - ONLY BECAUSE THE FUMES BECAME MORE INTENSE DID I TAKE IT IN. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR WITH PASSENGERS FOR THREE WEEKS PRIOR AND THE CAR COULD CATCH ON FIRE AND POSSIBLY EXPLODED. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *JB |
