Crank Sensors

Review

I agree with Vosser. This is my sixth Cadillac, the first Seville. At 9,000 miles, it needed a new power steering pump which seemed to take the dealer forever to obtain. At 12000 miles, it stalled out in the middle of a busy city street where the speed limit was 45 mph. The diagnosis via On Star was defective crank sensors. For the nearly $46K this vehicle cost, such problems are simply not acceptable.

Favorite Features

Power tilt and telescope wheel; On Star

Suggested Improvements

The Northstar engine is now 9 years old. Why suddenly the crank sensor problems?

Review

When I bought the "top of the line" Cadillac, I thought I was receiving, the best American Made Car I could get. Boy, are we in trouble. After 14 months, I have a service repair history about 10 feet long. I have had my car in 15-20 times, all for problems I would not have expected in a $54K car. For example, broken plastic "wood" pieces, rattles, squeaks, computer replacement/reprogramming, power steering, motor mount, transmission, and brakes!! For a car that is advertised as a "race car", I haven't had a set of pads or rotors that have lasted longer than 5000 miles!! I've put at least 10000 miles on rental DeVilles since I bought this *New* STS!

Favorite Features

Pretty good power, but no performance options and front wheel drive limit it's potential to be truly fast, esp. when compared to BMW, Lexus, etc. Stereo is excellent.

Suggested Improvements

QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY!!!! Brakes are a joke for a large car with 300 HP, they squeal ALL the time. Car and its components are very poorly put together for a $54K investment, you could buy a $10K Corolla and not have any problems.

Northstar stalling problems X 3

Review

This is my third Cadillac I have owned, this new one stalls while driving down the street. They have replaced the engine crank sensors. Then they say when I bring it back the second time for the same problem they put a diagnostic package on it and could not get the problem to duplicate. How can I search for others for possible solution or retribution? I am glad Wisconsin has a "lemon law" and will not be hesitant to invoke it. Unless they reair it permanently or replace it now on the third try for the same problem it will be the last Cadillac I purchase.

Redesign so no stalling problem when running with Northstar engine and repair bulletin on how to permanently repair it.
