2003 Deville -- Land Yacht

I bought the Deville with about 35K miles, 7 years ago. The car is best on a long trip when comfort and smooth highway handling count the most. My biggest problems have been with faulty sensors -- just about all of them to include: oil pressure, engine temp, airbag, steering, tire pressure etc. The actual components were NOT at fault. In every case it was the sensor. The other problem I had (which seems to be common among owners) is the power window motor failing. The electronic switches and displays are chintzy. Anyway, the motor is great. Uses about 1 quart per 1,600 miles. All that said, it is a fun car to drive on a trip. It depreciated quickly -- so I would shy away from buying a new one in the future. Update on 7/6/2016: Still have the Caddie and enjoy driving it, especially on road trips. Unfortunately, the latest "service engine" light came on and provided some ugly results: "replace torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid." This is an expensive repair where the a transmission shop has to remove the transmission to replace parts. Uggh. In searching this repair among other Caddie owners, I am not alone. Many, many owners have reported the same thing. The car has just under 100K miles, has been well maintained etc. GM knows about the recurring problems and made little/no changes to address specific and expensive problems in subsequent model years (see my original comments above). No love here for this company -- sorry. I will avoid buying a caddie in the future.

To anyone with a vibration issue. You need to keep the stock Michelin Symmetry's on the car. Once I put new tires on and went to Sullivan Tire multiple times we did it. 0 to 100 MPH, no vibration. Bad experience with Caddy dealer who had to be told to replace back seat control module twice. I wrote it in the P & S agreement the AC in the back didn't work. 1) Tire's (2) Dry boots and a broken axle 3) Broken engine front mount 4) Water pump froze and wiped out all the pully system. (5) Air intake sensor problem 6) Fuel pump float sending unit gone 7) 1-20-11 back in the shop for misfire and fuel 8) Replaced pass. window regulator

I bought this car with 89000 miles on it. two weeks after it was bought the problems started. One day while driving, the battery light came and the car shut off. I replaced the battery (what the dealership told me was the ONLY problem). after the new battery it ran fine for about a month then it started again. The dealer told me nothing was wrong with it. Every time i turn on the a/c or heat the car will shut off, even when randomly driving it shuts off. The service tire monitor light came on, fixed that only for it to come back on shortly after. Love the car despite these issues but just wish the dealer would have helped more.

I drive my DeVille on the open road and in the city. It has the smoothest ride ever. I drive 30,000 miles per year. The DeVille is the most comfortable car that I have ever owned. Its gas mileage is dependent upon the speed you drive. I have driven it 100,000 miles with few problems, none serious. I have never been left sever stranded or towed etc. I had problems with the air conditioner fan and a few interior pieces had to be replaced. Otherwise, this is a very good, A+++ car.

I love driving this big highway cruiser. It is smooth, particularly on a long trip. Handling is good overall -- but not the best vehicle for tight/congested places. No major mechanical problems to date. Digital instruments look like 1980 vintage and controls are kind of low rent.

Premier Car of the GM Fleet?

What's the rest of the fleet like? Power train good (so far) but stupid stuff - like mechanical mechanism for passenger window replaced at 45000 miles, wheel bearings replaced at 48000 miles, brake sensors corroded and replaced 46000 - all out of warranty, of course. Trunk developed leak at 43000. I buy one owner-off lease vehicles with about 25000 miles on them. Drove Lincoln Continentals for 10 years, bought extended warranties - never once used them - cars each died after 175000 miles. This car would cost a mint to drive 175000 miles. Very disappointing for quality and reliability. Cadillac, you've got a long way to go to be perceived as a quality vehicle.

This car has been extremely reliable and has required minimum maintenance over the years. MPG on the highway is still 25-26 driving the speed limit of 70 mph. Great car that I'm counting on reaching 250,000 miles using Mobil 1 5W30 motor oil and changing it every 3000 miles.

After a full year of ownership, I now feel qualify to rate this outstanding motorcar. In over 15,000 miles of driving, I have NO requirement for warantee or repair work; normal scheduled maintenance is the only time I see the dealership. The car drives superbly; great acceleration, noisless operation over long highway trips and it's simply the most comfortable vehicle I've ever been inside of. My wife bought a new Lexus ES300 a month before I purchased the Cadillac. Mine is the one we choose for long trips!

This is the 1st Cadillac I've ever owned, yet I didn't buy this one, I inherited from my father when he became no longer able to drive for health reasons. My wife has health issues as well with her legs and back (as I have back issues as well), this car is the easiest car to get in and out of with no pressure on our backs or legs. We have taken it on several short trips and each trip was enjoyable and comfortable. We are taking an extended vacation in July and August and are looking forward to the trip in comfort and safety.

Overall it's been a fantastic machine. Very easy to drive,comfortable and smooth. Only thing that has broken three times were the window racks that hold the glass panels. Replaced under warranty but still, shouldn't be that fragile or poorly engineered. The gas mileage is unbelievable(18 city/26 hwy) for a car that size. This car will last me a long time and gives me great pleasure in owning and driving.

Second owner car only had 40K on it. within the first 2 months both rear windows when out. At a year or so the ignition when out ($500 bucks at the dealership) and now at 57K the crank position sensors($320 at pep boys) when out. Don't buy cadillac unless it come with a warranty, you extra cash to throw away and /or you love hanging out at the auto shop.

2003 Deville nice running top of the line car. Looks great too. Thing that are wrong are the cruise control very easy to hit in error. Moon roof leak and filled battery well. Shorted battery out. Does not get the same mpg as my old 99 did. Also you do not know if some left the ac on in the back. But I have a problem with this car now my power steering makes noise after I had to replace the back line. The noise is only when the steering wheel is in dead center. If I move it just a little it stops. The noise is coming from the line at the bottom of the drive side.

I was in hard time's and just lost a vehicle too a bad friend ship , so i found a 2003 cadillac deville with 22 inch rims for a respectable price of $1,800 and i settled with the owner for $1,670 . The car had several issues but mostly the rims and tires were completely trash so i bought new rims and tires and found that the car had around 10 thousand dollars worth of work done too it ! With some TLC and alot of cleaning the car is amazing ! I've had it for 2 months and put over 3,000 miles , i absolutely love the car and it's beautiful for a large car . It does however eat about a quart and a half of oil every thousand miles and i found this is normal ( Lucas oil motor additive slows this down also improved gas mileage ) i usually get 15 too 20 miles too the gallon witch isn't bad the window switches tend too act up and lights for service engine are permanent lol but it is a strong car and i feel safe . the room inside and trunk space are insane and I'm currently looking too buy another since my girl friend has fell in love with the car lol. Again thier is alot of faults too a large car like a deville but i see more advantages in my case and line of work and living with children . i do suggest keeping a eye on the oil and coolant because these two are the most crucial thing's with the northstar v8 if they become low then kiss your caddy goodbye and don't say i didn't warn you . enjoy ! I know i am 😉 😉

I love the comfort of my car, however with less than 30,000 miles I have had very expensive repairs that should never have happened. Three of the four window chains have broken and all have needed to be replaced (very expensive.) The air injection pump needed to be replaced. There was a horrific odor coming through my ventilation system, then was told I had bacteria in the lines. This needed to be disinfected. The plexi- glass over the speedometer is all streaked (I have no idea) how that could have happened. My engine motor mounts are loose, and, of course, none of these items were or are under warranty and as far as I can tell, none of these items have been recalled.

The Cadillac Deville is an excellent car. It features an excellent ride, extremely quiet cabin, exceptionally comfortable seats, very roomy interior, wonderfully strong and smooth V8 engine, many cool features, excellent brakes and commendable handling for such a large vehicle. On the downside, some interior materials are cheap and I've heard it has a poor reliability record (although my car has fine reliability). Also, the frontal crash test result for the driver is only 3 stars. Overall, though, the DeVille is a superb vehicle. I recommend it to most luxury car buyers but some cars (like the BMW 5-series or Mercedes-Benz E class) are even better.

Purchased a certified DeVille with 30k miles and the car is absolutely like new in every respect with a savings of $20k+. Immediately took a 400 mile trip -smooth, comfortable, and 26MPG. Night and day over a new LeSabre for the same price. Especially like the seat design. This is the standard seat without lumbar control and after a 7 hour trip absolutely no back ache at all. This is truly remarkable.

I have owned Cadi's since I was 17. I bought this DTS w/35,000 and now have 135,000. only issue was a power steering hose and one fuel injector. I will be buying another for sure. The ride is perfect even with 5 people in the car. handling is good for such a large sedan. power is great and I cant say enough about the Bose sound system. This is definently the best Ive owned yet. Had a 03 deville before this one and traded it in w/165,000 and did not have any serious problems w/ it either. Dark blue w/black int and get tons of complements. looks good sitting still and EVERYONE makes a coment about it under the nioght lights. absolutely beautiful car!!!

I have had this car 7 years, purchased new. I have had very few problems, none major. The only annoying problem is that the car has always vibrated at about 70mph. No one has been able to discover why it does this. Other than that, no complains. We have driven this car on several vacations with 700 800 miles per day. No sweat. Gas mileage is very close to EPA rating both in town and on the highway, usually 18-20 city and 24-26 highway (EPA is 18/27). The 4 valve per cylinder engine lacks good low end torque as does every such engine like this that I have driven. But, if you want to go, hang on. Comfortable, classy, reliable. What else could you want?

The five year old 2003 deville Cadillac I purchased has been a headache and wallet drain ache. It has been many times to dealership for this or that repairs under warranty or I am paying the bill. Then the dealership damages it and won't repair unless I pay. The gm parts are expensive ($7.00 plastic retainer) and you wait for them to order them. The noise caused by the self leveling system is aggravating to hear. The car is so big and bulky that you can not maneuver it easily. The power steering is soft however. Yet that steering had to be repaired also to be soft and noiseless. The quality and workmanship is not worth the money you spend to buy. Next car I purchase will be a new one and not gm.

Cadilac makes people think that thwy are old, but once you dive a Deville you'll forget all about that. One time I was driving on the highway to see familf when we ran over a fullsized ladder. I didn't know we had till the person driving pointed it out. To me it felt like we had just ran over a squirrl or something. The car also has a large amount fo pick up. The car is quiet. In the inside it is very nice. I would definatlly recommend this car.

Good car except that at 15000 miles, Cadillac had to rebuild engine/installed new pistons and rings due to high oil consumption. No problems since. Now have 38000 miles. Excellent road car. Not happy with the resale value. Depreciates too fast. If I buy another Cadillac, I'm going to look for a late model with low mileage that has already taken the depreciation hit.

When looking for a new luxury vehicle this turned out to be the best one. Mercedes and Lexus are much more expensive at the dealerships and come with far less features. The interior is much more comfortable and the exterior is more attractive as well. Another thing is that it is a GM vehicle.GM is a high quality, and its domestic too. After all the ordeals with Fords every car we now own is GM.

This is an absolutely fantastic vehicle. I traded in my Corvette for this car and the DeVille performs almost as well. It's also one of the most comfortable vehicles I've ever driven. I recently drove from Rhode Island to Florida non-stop(averaging 27.1 mpg); when arrived in Orlando, I felt like I had been sitting on my couch at home for twenty hours. I have had a few problems however. The heating system needed to be fixed, but this was under warranty. There is also significant nose-dive during heavy braking. All in all, I love my DeVille and would recommend it to anyone seeking a safe, reliable, and well-performing luxury sedan.

Bought this practically new 25,000miles car from my neighbor and thought that being a $50,000 Cadillac, it would be a wothwhile opportunity. Wrong! In less than 5,000 miles and 8 months since bought, I have had to replace each front window mechanisms twice. The SS cable just lets go of the support bracket although it's new. Too wide turning radius, no U turns allowed without backing up. The A/C works well but it showers the occupants with a black greasy foam which has damaged the carpet, seats and occupant clothing. Impossible to remove cleanly and very costly to repair. Too plastic int. As stated to the dealer, this is supposed to be a $50K car and the features do not justify cost.

Had to replace water pump @40k mi. Failed about 10k mi. later 2nd replacement / Three window regulators..not cheap! Broken motor mounts.. Now @ 87k miles transmission has to be rebuilt which will include torque converter expected costs 2200-3000 dollars .The sad part is I'm still making payments on this car that I loathe. I am a professional school bus driver and am not hard on cars.. my last Cad. is a '94 el Dorado with 200k mi. and I've spent very little in maintenance and repairs and we plan to drive it till there's nothing left but the steering wheel, love that car!

One of the best and most fun to drive car I have ever owned, neck snapping performance and sports car handling. The style is beautiful mine is all black inside and outside, real classy car.

Nice car to drive, very stable on the road specially in bumpy road as in NY The DTS is exceptionally has good ride on wet road and even on heavy rain, you can also feel the different between this car and any Mercedes when raining or snow my friend has Mercedes E55 more the $75000 car he even could not move in the snow when my Cadilac moved like princes, I am driver with more the one million mile I had Mercedes BMW and all luxury cars I never drove a car with excellent performance in the rain as the DTS, it is very important to fill safe on wheat road, it is not so quite when pushing hard the gas but this car behave on the road as European car and

At 15,000 miles, my car was burning a quart of oil every 900 miles. Cadillac refused to install a new engine, but rebuilt the old engine instead installing new pistons and rings. My car now has 35,000 miles and runs okay but the gas mileage dropped considerably from what it was before the overhaul. I will never buy another Cadillac and probably won't buy a GM car again. I'm currently considering some high end Japenese cars.

After owning a 2000 DTS and having lots of problems right out of the show room I was a little against another Caddy but gave it a second try and so far overall performance and quality has been superb. On long trips which I have only made one its a dream and just daily driving is a pleasure. Its Quality++++

There must be some reason why NO Dealer will give a reasonable trade in allowance for a Caddy. They are unreliable, costly to repair and flat out dangerous after the warranty runs out. I've had 4, and will NEVER buy it again. Dealer in Atlanta was deceitful. EVERYTHING went wrong in that piece of junk. NEVER will I buy another Caddy. More gadgets do not make quality.
