#156 of 1216 I've had it with my 97' Catera. by dray1997 Apr 17, 2006 (6:50 pm)
I own a 1997 Cadillac catera with 83,000 miles; I have the same problems with my car like the rest of you. Suggestion, we should all get together and file a class action suit against GM for ignoring our complaints. They have not been helpfull at all. That will teach em.

Replying to: grantii (Jan 11, 2006 4:10 pm) My Catera had bad control arm bearings that caused it to jump into other lanes and steer itself. Replies to this message: joey1127 (May 03, 2006 6:39 am)

Replying to: hdog1123 (Apr 17, 2006 11:59 am) Hi hdog1123,   The CATERA is not a happy camper in the states. It's a great car in GERMANY where it is known as the OPEL OMEGA, but it just seems to not like American life.   The Tranny is actually slipping, THAN the light comes on. The light does not cause a slip, it's the other way around. This is a problem that has been reported off and on. Some have said that by having the tranny fluid pumped out and replenished, it corrects any tranny issues.   My 98 will redline on first gear when it's cold. I have been told that changing the fluid will correct this, but there is no light coming on so I'm not going to worry about it. As the tranny in these cars are sealed, working on them is a pain AND will cost a fortune! As all the parts are German, they come from an importer in BANGOR MAINE and man are they expensive.   I would get this car into your Caddi dealer QUICK. From my experience, if you let it go, a host of other things will go wrong. My 98 now has 104k and it is needing repair ALL THE TIME at a minimum of $500.00 a visit! Remember, owning a Caddi is a luxury, not a right...   Best of luck,   Joe Aschwanden 1978 Coupe De Vile 1990 Eldorado Biarritz 1998 Catera

Replying to: cbl41015 (Apr 20, 2006 6:49 pm) Yup, That is an expensive repair to. The entire control arm has to be replaced as you cannot just replace the bushing itself. I had the same issue with my 98 + the front wheel bearings were going out. Total cost of that repair was around $2,300.00. YIKES...
