2000-2005 Deville/DTS/DHS Check In !

[Powerflt]

I had the "service stability system" message recently, took my 03 DTS in and replaced the steering wheel sensor, runs like a champ for now.

02 Deville 47k miles, only problems is I get about 15mpg in town and 18mpg on the freeway. I also noticed its a bit of a bumpy ride, maybe I need new shocks or struts. (I'm no mechanic)

2000 DTS, I bought 2 years ago with 59K, now at 74K. I'm not impressed.

Night Vision never worked well, rarely works at all now, dealer/warranty gave up.

It has eaten power window regulators, have replaced 5 in under 2 years, yes one door has already failed twice, and RF door window is again making that warning sound...

A/C has been repaired once, and now, rear A/C is blowing warm.

Top dash pad is curling badly at both left and right edges.

2 out of 4 seat heaters have been replaced.

Remote key fob #1 frequently needs to be reset.

RR door sometimes locks/unlocks in unison with the other 3 doors, sometimes not.

This is my second, and likely last, Caddy. I'm 44 years old, and not an aggressive driver at all, these are great cars when it's all going good, but they are high maintenance once they have a few years and miles on them...

27 on the highway? How do u obtain that kind of mileage? The only way I can get 27 is to park it in my driveway! I get about 340 miles to a tank, or about 20 mpg. I drive 2 hr to work (hr up and hr back) a lot of highway Rt 2 (55 to 70 mph) and Rt 495 (65 to 75 mpg) in mass.

2002 Deville, 71,346 miles:

Clunky Intermediate Steering Shaft - replaced under warranty
Rear Electronic suspension failed: replaced shocks, compressor and dryer - my cost, factory warranty expired - $1400
crank sensors - replaced under warranty

Should of bought the extended warranty, I am afraid about what happens next.

Udpate: I had a rear hub ABS failure at 83k, replaced under the extended warranty. Now I'm really glad I got that warranty !

I don't know how it does it but I've verified it using the math (not just the on-board computer). That is on long trips, I fill up then drive ~2.5 hours and stop to take a break and fill up again and check the milage. It comes out to about 27 most times.

'03 DTS, thunder grey...

Had a new instrument control panel, intake replaced("eating" small amount of coolant?), new battery, passenger side mirror fixed twice(wouldn't go up and down), and had to have mine road force balanced to get it to ride OK...

Love the car, but am definitely pleased I bought certified.

2004 Baseline DeVille.....best car i ever owned and looks real sharp in the sun or rain! Have many ideas for it but not the funds yet....sure to show pics of changes here on the best caddy site out there

[bigmike750]

I'm new to the Cadillac forums
2k1 base Deville approx 80k mi.
I purchased the Car for 6k and knew it had a few problems I.E... Oil pan leaking, valve cover gasket leaking, and a couple of sensors gone bad. other than that the car is great and i dont know what took me so long to cross over to the Cadillac side. I plan on cloning the Deville into the Dts
