problem #1

Mar 012003

DeVille 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 103,000 miles
Severe vibration between 50 to 80 mi. Per hour. Have spent over $1000 to try to remedy problem. Dealership said they can't do anymore and it must be a manufacturing defect. There is also a very loud popping noise when the steering wheel is turned in either direction. It comes from either side and possibly chassis. At first thought it was struts or bearings. Complete front end repair did not fix the noise. Car has never been in an accident either. There is also a problem with changing gear shift from parking to reverse or drive on an incline. Sometimes it jams and has to be jerked very had to go into gear. Other times it slips from gear to another. Have replaced brakes 2 times. Still has shudder upon pressing brakes regardless of speed. An offensive odor like rotten eggs, especially when using air conditioner. Dealership said they found this a lot in this certain vehicle. They do not know how to fix. It is a manufacturing defect. Owner before me has already replace the ignition module. A dealership said another manufacturing defect. Fuel pump wires were burned and replaced by previous owner. Battery cables also shorted out and were replaced on 8/29/03. Battery continues to be drained if vehicle has not been started within a 3 day period.
