ENGINE BEGAN TO LEAK OIL AFTER 40000 MILES. THE COMPANY AND DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THIS WAS NORMAL. LONGER I OPERATED THIS CAR, MORE IT BEGAN TO LEAK.

ENGINE STOPPED ONCE ON ME, SHUT OFF, NOTHING WORKED. NO AIRBAG, ANY ELECTRICAL SERVICE. HIT HOLE IN ROAD AND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. CALLED COMPANY MANY TIMES, WROTE TO PRESIDENT, OTHER EXECUTIVES ALL TO NO AVAIL. THERE ARE MANY CADILLAC DEVILLES WITH SAME LEAKING PROBLEM, THE NORTHSTAR ENGINE HAS THIS PROBLEM SINCE 1998, ON ALL THEIR MODELS. IT IS LIKE THE KEY, THEY WILL DO NOTHING UNTIL MADE TO CORRECT IT. I HOPE YOU FOLLOW THROUGH, THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS WITH DEEP EXPENSES FOR OWNERS. *TR
