1991 CADILLAC BROUGHAM Complaints
JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ( ABOUT 40 MPH ) I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE MUFFLER FALLING OFF THE CAR WITH A BANG AND THE CAR MOVING ODDLY AND HEARING A METAL NOISE. I FOUND IT TO BE THE VERY REAR CROSSMENBER ( THE ONE BEFORE THE REAR BUMPER ) HAD FALLEN OFF. I HAVE DONE WELDING FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS THIS WAS NOT WELDED PROPERLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN A GARAGE FROM DAY ONE AND MY MOM IS THE ONLY OWNER. THE PAINT AND UNDERCARRIAGE IS LIKE NEW! ( NO RUST AND ALL MAINTENACE HAS BEEN DONE ) IF SOMEONE ELSE HAD BEEN DRIVING THEY MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR! I DID CALL LLOYDS IN DAYTONA BEACH FL ( WHERE SHE BOUGH THE CAR BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE TOO LOOK AT IT THEN IT COST ME TOO FIX IT ! I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM YOU NEED TOO LOOK AT! ALSO THE TRANSMISSIOM WENT ON OUR WAY UP TOO NY ON 5/ 11/04 IN SC.. THANK'S. *AK;
