Replying to: manfromjax (Oct 09, 2006 4:30 pm) I have had to replace several items...brake rotors, 02 Sensors, Mass Airflow Sensor, and front tie rod ends. Cost at mechanics for parts was usually very high. I got primarily genuine parts on ebay for 1/3 the cost. If you don't mind the wait...well worth it. Other than that the Catera runs great. |

Does anyone here have a Catera that that HASN'T had expensive issues with their car as it ages? I'm just wondering if it will be possible to avoid this with my low milage 2001.

being German, is nothing like any other Cadillac. I've found Cadillac to be very gererous with the problems I have had. Our 2001 Catera is very low milage,about 39,000, and for the last year, not a thing has gone wrong...The way this board goes,though,I expect a huge problem any mile...

Hi i have had this thing for a few months now.. MY wife and i love it but it is startting to have problems. Right now the door locks  just keep going up and then will lock. The trunk is now just opening while you drive the car. And You have to unhook the battery or else it will go dead over night b/c the lights come on and then go off and it will just keep doing this... any one have this problem i thought that maybe the bat was going dead in the remote but i am not that lucky..

Just recently purchased a 97 Catera with the Odometer reading 63000 miles. Its only been 3 days and I've noticed the odometer had not moved at all. Earlier while driving down the road at about 35mph i heard a nasty clunk from under the hood and my TC fuel and engine light all popped on and it seemed like the car was in neutral. I stopped and waited for a min and the lights stayed on. When I tried to continue the car would move but only really really slowly. I could eventually get it up to speed but i was moving at snail speed. I turned it off and back on and the problem went away for a bit, but eventually it always comes back. Also sometimes it seems I have no power to the radio panel. Radio won't work and neither will the trunk or fuel pops. I tried to take this car back to the dealer I bought it from and apparently I'm stuck with this car. I could really use some advice on this. Is there laws or anything that could help me in this situation. I thought I was buying a good car with 63k miles on it and thats just not the case. Thanks in advance for any advice.
