it understandable feeling like all car companies have issues. And its very true. However, the V is plagued by the bean counters. His is not the only one. trust me. Go to cadillacforums if you wish, you'll see.

I had mine for about 10 months until i called it quites. I agree with this guy that its a great car, fun to drve a 6spd caddy... if only the shifter didn't literally play (move) about 3 inches left and right in or out of gear. Or the rear end dropping on ya... i had two replaced in those 10 months. Also had clutch problems, wheelhop that is uncureable. Then GM released bushing to "cure" the wheelhop (it didn't) while squeaking like mad. Go and try to have you service department grease them up for ya and i quote

"its not something that came with the car and well, my manager didn't feel like it was something we covered under warranty. -Jaime @ Vera

Its a GM part, but nope, no help there. Whatever, its a great car but if you are on this board, then i assume that its a car that will drive you crazy. If you normally drive a 3-series and do it for the looks or a 350Z, well, you found your cadillac, if you can stand the 6spd that is....

enough rant... old news!!

No they did not. But they did refund him one month's car payment and put into writing they would buy the car back if it ad another failure like that in the next 2 months. Personally I would give their customer service a C+ on how they handled this. If Caddy wants to compete with the Germans and Japanese in the high end luxury car market they need to have world class service to match the product. considering how they dicked Chris around on a loaner I think their service a little more ways to go.

Two blind muels trying to hump each other lol.

Wonder if it dieng had to deal with the cats like he said, when the cat in my beater clogged up it did the same thing, would not go above 45mph and started dieing.

its been said already and its true. every manufacturer has problems like this. german, japan doesnt matter. sucks that he is having trouble with it and if that dealership is giving him grief about it he needs to go past the dealership and talk with a gm/cadilac rep.

At this point it's not the dealership that is giving him the problems, it's the regional Cadillac Customer Service Represenatives. The Dealership is doing all they can, but it's the service at the Cadillac level that is now in question.
