was a coolant leak 1200.00. Before that timing chain kit problem 1100.00. Please let me know if General Motors will
reimbuse us for anything, we all seem to experience the same problems which has left a nasty taste in my mouth for cadillac autos
I have a 2000 Catera and just got it out of shop. My oil pressure was dropping and I could smell oil. First they said I had a bad gasket then after they took the car apart they discover a coolant leak. He said there is a radiator in the engine that was leaking which caused oil and water to mix together. I paid $1200.00 and drove the car 600 miles. Seems to be ok. I am just praying for the car to hold up untill next year this time when I will be done paying for it. I already replaced timimg belt kit. $1100.00. Be careful these cars have aluminum engines and can not take heat. Mine overheated and the computor shut down had to have it towed.
Good Luck, Sharron
I have checked all of the fuses and they are all alright. I have traced the current from the battery to the inside fuse box on the car. (I also checked all the fuses under the hood). I get no current to the switch, head lights, interior lights or anything. As far as the anything operating on the car that is electricial, it is dead.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I should check and a method to check what ever is suggested? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Also have a valve cover leak. You can smell the oil through the air & heat vents. We have to turn the blower off when we come to a stop or the smell of the oil overtakes you. We are upside down in the car about 5000.00 so we are stuck in it. I hate this car and will never buy another Cadillac as long as I live.
Let me know how you come out or if you have already removed the lights.
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.
Have A Great Day..
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.
The car ROCKs!, It just seems to have all these electronic issues all of a sudden. QUESTION: What is the fix, without spending a foryune at the dealership?
Is anyone else enjoying a relatively trouble-free ride? I am...

Any way around this $225.00
Good-Luck
