There is some bills I did not keep.bought the car Sept 4th 1998. I had to have them make repairs everytime I took it in for a oil change, I drive an hour to the barboursville automall, Inc. In West va where I bought it. The computer control chip for the strut sensor is still not fixed, it flashes do not drive over 90 miles an hour constantly when I drive, which is distracting, that has been doing it since 12/02. They just put a new one in and it also does not work. The front seat heater went out in November and did not get one till April. I told them about the bumping of the car since I got it and they just put 1 strut on the car. They put grease on them and also they told me they found a piece of paper, and they changed the brakes pads and turned the rotors twice trying to fix the bumping. The paint on the car doesn't fell like it should. I have bought other Cadillac in the past years. I didn't fight the last Cadillac it was a 98 Cadillac eldorado serial number #[xxx] changed cars because it had a leak in the trunk and I took it back 5 times and they ended up packing it with super glue where everyone could see it. It was also in a hail storm and they bonded it instead of getting me new parts, it was making me to nervous so my husband bought the sts. There is other bills which I can't find but I have had trouble with this sts since I got it.I did write the Cadillac people and they said I had to take it up with the dealer which I have been with no satisfaction, I'm talking to [xxx] and my case number is 1-119401313. The Cadillac company said they would keep my letter I wrote them few years ago. I'm still wanting to drive a Cadillac, which I told [xxx] and kept telling the dealership. I haven't got the bills when I first had the trouble but someone must, [xxx] agreed that I have had it worked on every time I went for an oil change.
