1997 CADILLAC SEVILLE Complaints

THE ENGINE CRACKED AT 68000 MILES. I CALLED CADILLAC TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT THEY REFUSED. I HAD A OST OF OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FROM THE BEGINNING. THEY SHOULD ALL BE RECORDED BY THE CADILLAC DEALER IN CONROE, TEXAS AND HERE IN LEXINGTON KY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR WAS A LEMON WHEN I BOUGHT IT. *AK

I HAVE HAD EXTREME OIL COMPSUMPTION SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM SUPERIOR . IT WAS USED AND STILL IS UNDER WARRENTY. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THEM THREE TIMES FOR THIS AND THEY RAN TWO DIFFERENT OIL COMSUMPION TESTS.. ONE FOR 4000 MILES WHICH TOOK 5 1/2 QUARTS OIL AND ONE 500 MILE TEST THAT TOOK 1 QRT.. SINCE THEN THEY HAVE DECLINED TO TELL ME WHAT THE STATIS OF THE COMPLAINT TO GM IS..THANKS.*AK
