THERE EXISTS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE CADILLAC DEVILLE'S. MINE IS A 1993 MODEL BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS A CONSISTENT FLAW WITHIN THE DEVILLE LINE. IT REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OIL PAN, OIL GASKETS, AND OIL SEALS ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 3 YEARS. I HAD MINE REPLACED FIVE TIMES IN TEN YEARS. BESIDES THE COST, THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND POSSIBILITY FOR THE CAR TO CREATE DAMAGE TO OTHERS IS BEYOND MEASURE. CADILLAC HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CONSIDER IT A SAFETY DEFECT. THEY KEEP CHANGING THE DESIGN OF THE OIL PAN AND GASKETS BUT TO NO AVAIL. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS OBVIOUS FRAUD BEING PERPETRATED AMONG CADILLAC DEVILLE OWNERS. WHO KNOWS THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS THAT ARE PAID FOR YEARLY DO TO AN OBVIOUS AND KNOWN DEFECT. IF YOU CAN'T HELP CAN YOU REFER THIS TO SOMEONE WHO CAN? THANK YOU!*JB
