#369 of 436 2002 Cadillac Deville Problems by sjohnson100 Apr 25, 2006 (8:56 am)
During the four years I have owned this Cadillac have had one problem after another..When starting cold, engine really noisy and shakes..dealer cleaned carbon, problem keep returning. Also burns oil, one quart per l,000 miles, dealer says this is normal..Leaks antifreeze..dealer wants $875 to fix small leak, tires wear out every 20,000 miles, 3 of the 4 power windows have stopped working..Dealer wants $625 per window to fix with new motor and more if find additional problems. First and last Cadillac I will own. I am not use to car problems like this. We drive Ford Windstars at work. Get 250,000 plus miles from these with virtually no mechanical problems or oil use.

#373 of 436 1999-2000 STS Transmission/motor mount problems (?) by sjw2131 Apr 28, 2006 (7:10 am)
I have seen a couple STS's 99-2000 and they seem to shift really hard into drive from park. the whole motor seems to bounce back and forth and i can see the transmission bounce beneath the car as well. when i saw the first one like this i thought there must definately be something wrong with it but then now ive seen two more like this. is this normal for this model/years???
#375 of 436 Oil Leak on a 95' Northstar Eldorado by rockylee May 01, 2006 (11:44 pm)
Do any of you know if the Northstar once it springs a mild leak, is still fixable. Will the leak get worse, and the rsult is the engine deemed scrap. I believe some have said yes in the past. I think. I have a friend with a 95' Eldorado with about 125K on it and it's leaking a lil' bit of oil. It's mild now, and some have told me it will get worse and their is nothing one can do to stop it. Is this true ? If any of ya'll want to comment feel free. I went to the search window that the hosts provided me and found nothing. I'm just trying to help a friend out. Rocky P.S. Luckily I haven't heard similar problems on 99' and up STS Northstars.

Replying to: rockylee (May 01, 2006 11:44 pm) It depends where the leak is. If it's the notorious "engine seal" leak, which results in a leak in the unusual split engine block design of the Northstar, then the only solution is a major disassembly of the car and engine. I am told this requires about 18 hours of shop time. Most often, this leak occurs after 100K miles, but much early mileage have been reported.
