Re: 2004 deville check engine light on 49k miles [sweetdeville]
www.cadillacforums.com has areas on it's site that will tell you how to push certain buttons on the dash and put the car into 'diagnistic' mode. This will then display all 'codes', both current and history. This site then also has areas that describe what each of the codes mean. A very limited description, but a description. Cadillacs have a very good self-display capability for 'codes'. Few autos have this. Your car ... Read More

Cadillac Deville
I bought a 2001 Cadillac Deville in 2003. It was certified pre-owned. I have had problems with the car from day 1. I thought that not only did certified, but also the expensive price and luxury meant that I was purchasing a good car. The more that I hear, the more it seems that Cadillac is a problem car. Now that my warranty is out, I am really spending big bucks ... Read More

Re: 2002 CADILLAC OIL EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION [carmstr01]
I bought a 2002 Deville w/18,500 mile on it. Oil consumption was terrible. 2 quart in ~200 mile. Was told that the 2002 cadillacs had bad rings and pistons. Cadillac did nothing about a recall. Mine was still under warrantee, Cadillac put 2003 rings and pistons in it and it does not use more than a pint in 3000 mile now @63,000 mile. Original owner had problem from new purchase, I ...

Re: First time Caddy owner, 2003 Deville [paulthebaker]
You could bring your car to a cadillac dealer where they only specialize in Cadillacs and get an idea where you stand with how worn out your fluids are. Or anything else for that matter. My old Deville the plugs and wires lasted exactly 100,000 miles. Once I got about 100,100 miles it started to studder on the highway, and what do you know? One of the plugs were cracked. Now ...

Re: First time Caddy owner, 2003 Deville [paulthebaker]
Talk to your local Cadillac service department first. You may be pleasantly surprised. They might give you a key and cut it free. You can get a replacement fob through ebay cheaper than the dealer probably and take it to your local service dept. and sometimes they will program it for you free also. Good luck.

Re: First time Caddy owner, 2003 Deville [paulthebaker]
How much do you want to spend? At 60,000 miles, the plug and plug wires are supposed to be good for 100,000 miles, but they might something to replace. Use only the original Cadillac wires, and I would also say to use the AC plugs (or maybe they are Denso by this year) recommended for the car (platium). Don't go for any of the multi-contact stuff, just get a platium plug ... Read More

Re: vibration at highway speeds in 2003 DeVille [rkmetz]
Best of luck to you, rkmetz! I think I've pretty much resigned myself to getting rid of my DeVille. I'm just trying to decide whether to sell it myself or call my salesman and tell him to get me another car... something other than a Cadillac. The dealership where I bought mine also has an import division that sells Mercedes and Volvos, so those might be an option. Again, good luck ... Read More

Re: vibration at highway speeds in 2003 DeVille [acweck]
hello mr ackweck, this is so strange, the tire company put two brand brand new tires (michelin energy mxv4) on my car today and as i was driving back home on a completely smooth highway i noticed the vibration coming and going! i am going to contact the local dealer and let him know i still have the problem.soon i will take the car to the next dealer and give them ...

Re: vibration at highway speeds in 2003 DeVille [rkmetz]
Hello rkmetz, No, unfortunately, I have never gotten rid of the vibration in my 2003 DeVille. It's a little better (and I emphasize "a little"), as it now kind-of comes and goes. For example, last Saturday - August 4th - I drove to the dealership to see my salesman about driving another DeVille to see if it did the same thing. On the way there, there was virtually no vibration at ... Read More

Re: vibration at highway speeds in 2003 DeVille [powerflt]
Well, I took my car to my local Cadillac dealer on July 9th. I finally got it back on the 20th. They looked at the wheels and tires, swapped wheel/tire combos from other DeVilles on the lot, checked out "anything else that might make it vibrate" and finally ended up putting new lower control arms in the front end. The service manager said that there was a TSB on this; he ... Read More

Re: vibration at highway speeds in 2003 DeVille [powerflt]
Thank you, powerflt, for your advice! The technician who noted the pulsation in my brakes did say that it happened when they were warm. Still, as far as I can tell, it's barely there, if at all, so I would say at this point my main concern is getting the cruising-speed vibration fixed. It's interesting you should mention road-force balancing because that was what my Cadillac dealer did to my car ... Read More

Re: vibration at highway speeds in 2003 DeVille [acweck]
I can understand your sensitivity to squeaks, rattles and bumps I am the same way. First, the only kind of tire balance that will work well with your car is a Road Force balance. Its a bit more pricey but gets a lot of vibrations out of the wheel. There have been problems with the OEM brakes having a slight pulse when the brakes are warm, there was a TSB about ... Read More

vibration at highway speeds in 2003 DeVille
Greetings all. I am the owner of a 2003 Cadillac DeVille, which I purchased on March 1st, 2007. The car was a lease return which only had approximately 13,000 miles on it at the time I bought it. It now has roughly 17,000 miles and ever since I bought it, it has exhibited a vibration at highway speeds which begins at about 65-68 m.p.h. and continues on from there. Unfortunately, I ...

Zim -Affordable Caddys
Zim, I'm in florida so there are quite a lot of Cadillacs down here, and I found the ones with low mileage 19000 to 30000 miles were (02,03,04) were about 19 thou to 24 thou - and that was for base devilles, not the DHS (DHS was very hard to find)- but if you have a trade and can bargain it should bring it down - it depends on the dealership ...

Cadillac Deville info
I have been shopping around for either a 2002 or a 2003 Deville now foor about a month now. And I have narrowed it down to two of them. But I live in Massachusetts and it seems like every one that I look at with about 50,000 miles is from $16000 to $19000. And every one of them that is under 50,000 is over &20,000. When I look down in the ... Read More

Re: oil usage [lagunshy]
I have a 2003 Deville that is consuming 3+ quarts between oil changes; it is in the shop now because after I had the top clean done to clean the rings or whatever it was now it is sputtering and will shut off. This may or may not be related but I am estatic to find someone dealing with a simular problem. I am going back and forth now with my ... Read More

Deville Window Reglators
I have a 2001 Deville. I have had five window regulators to break. I believe this is a defect in workmanship. General Motors has replaced four but refused to do anything else. I have asked them since 2003 to check this part because I believe a defect is in the regulator. The last regulator I purchased and installed myself, I found that there is a plastic part that is causing the ... Read More

Re: Impala vs. used Deville? [day9]
Yes you are correct the performance and build quality in a Cadillac will be better. With a budget of $ 22,000 you can probably find a 2003-04 with reasonably low miles and in good condition. I have considered a Grand Marque only in that I will only use for local driving, won't put many miles on it and the incredibly low price for a 2005 large sedan with a v8 engine ... Read More

Re: Not MY Problem Anymore [cappy4103]
I appreciate your comments. It is really tough to get rid of my SLE with less than 100 miles on it but my wife likes it and since she is a realtor and spends $50 everytime she fills up her Avalanche she plans on driving it. I'll wait till fall and order a new 2006 Malibu Maxx and get rid of the 2001 Malibu. The Maxx rides like a Rolls Royce ... Read More

Re: Not MY Problem Anymore [cappy4103]
I bought a 2006 Camry Solara SLE Convertible the other day and am not at all impressed with the ride. The car bounces quite a bit over city streets and yet the car writers praised the "smooth ride". My 2001 Malibu rides like a Cadillac compared to the Solara. I was interested in your opinion of the ride of your Avalon compared to the Deville. I have a 2003 Deville with ... Read More

Re: service [imidazol97]
I used to drive Buicks and after the local Buick dealer (and zone office) refused to fix the creaking noise from one of the struts on a 2000 LeSabre (the car had 10k miles) -which I later learned was a faulty strut bearing -I sold the Buick and eventually bought a Cadillac. The local Chevrolet-Cadillac dealer says that Cadillac is very concerned with owner complaints and as long as the car ... Read More

Re: Looking at buying a 2000 or 2001 need input [watersurgeon #1467]
Try and get one under 4 years old and 50k mileage so you will get a break on an extended warranty. I wouldn't dream of having any car without a 100,000 miles 0 deductible 6 year warranty especially a Cadillac. When the warranty is gone so is the car. The 2001 model had leather standard and the 2002 had the most standard equipment including an electrochromatic (self dimming) outside side mirror ... Read More

Deville
A few years ago there seemed to be a lot of postings on this list so what has changed? I rode around the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex in a buddy's 2003 CTS - Cadillac's "best seller". I have a 2001 Malibu which rides better, has a bigger trunk opening, has nicer door panels, has a much better stereo (he doesn't have the Bose), and has a better back seat. I also have ... Read More

Owner's Manual Leather Case
When I bought my 2003 Deville program car it only came with the owner's manual. The dealer gave me a leather folder that it goes in and the pan, pad, etc. The folder I have says "Cadillac" on the front with the logo and the pen says "Cadillac" on it. I have since discovered that the actual 2003 case simply has the color logo on the front and the pen does ... Read More

Quality Woes
I'm a loyal GM owner, although I've always fretted about the build and material quality of their products compared with the Japanese or Germans. I sat in a 2003 Deville DHS at the auto show this weekend, and was appalled. The rear vanity visors were falling out of the headliner, and when I pressed them back in place, they barely stayed put with flimsy clips. Same for the overhead console up ... Read More

little changes
Does anyone remember when Cadillacs had those little "extra" touches that really separated them from the other GM products? Think back to say, 1983 or 1984. If you looked inside a Sedan DeVille as opposed to say, an Electra or Ninety Eight, you noticed certain things. For instance: 1. Cadillac (and all GM divisions) actually had their own shift and steering wheel designs 2. Ashtrays (all with lighters) made of real ... Read More
