Faults:
So I have had my Cadillac Deville for about two & a half years now. I have had similar problems to other people here.
For sure, the engine sucks oil like nobody's business. But when I start my car, it also does a jerking back and forth while under 10mph, & lately has begun to do it at higher speeds.
My car has died over a dozen times, but also restarts immediately after. It has died while driving, and the check engine light and battery light pops on. I am positive that the battery just needs replacing.
I also have a very shaky car whenever I brake, but again, I know that I need new brake pads.
My heated seat on the driver's side has gone out, and all of the cigarette lighters have blown and no longer work.
Driver's side view mirror has warped, which I still cannot figure out how to fix.
I have had to replace the air ride suspension sensor, which set me back about 800.00 all said and done.
For right now, that's all that I can think of.
General Comments:
When my car is working well, I love it. When it's needing to be fixed, it sucks. But my brother works at a Cadillac dealership, and he even said that a Cadi requires a lot of maintenance, but when they're running well, people love them for their elegance and great smooth riding. So you make the choice. Love your car.

Please read the annual Consumers Report Auto Guide that comes out every year in April before buying any future cars... new or used.. it will give you the good and bad cars available in the market place...
Also breaking down on the freeways and roads in this country or any country can be very dangerous... there are people that prey on people in this unfortunate situation... some of these people can be very dangerous in the right situation... mostly striking in the early morning or late at night...
