2002 Cadillac Seville

CAR SNAKES EXTREMELY BAD AROUND 45 TO 70 MPH SO BAD IT SHAKES THE ENTIRE CAR LIKE MY WHEELS ARE LOOSE OR BENT AND SO I BOUGHT 4 NEW WHEELS AND GOT ALIGNMENT NO HELP DID RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT IT IS DUE TO TYPE OF TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE CAR IS A BAD BRAND THAT MESSES UP A LOT AND THAT GM HASN'T ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE WHICH IS SUCH A SHAME AND A SHAM THAT I HATE THEY ARE DOING BECAUSE IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND I HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL PLUS BUSHING ARE LOW GRADE IN FRONT END AND YOU WOULD THINK BE HIGH END VEHICLE SHOULD BE HIGH END PARTS HAPPENED FIRST ON HIGHWAY AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE

DRIVE TRAIN CRADLE HAS WEAKENED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM RUST. WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A LOOSENESS OF THE SUSPENSION FELT AND A SHIFTING EVIDENT WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. I RESIDE IN MINNESOTA AND THE D.O.T. USES SALT ON THE ROADS DURING THE WINTER SEASON AND THIS HAS SIGNIFICANTLY ACCELERATED CORROSION OF VEHICLES AND THEIR EXPOSED COMPONENTS. MATERIALS USED FOR CRITICAL COMPONENTS ON VEHICLES MUST WITHSTAND THIS FACTOR OR LIVES MAY BE LOST DUE TO THIS CORROSION, FAILURE OF THE SUB-FRAME CRADLE WILL BE CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL . HELP... THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE SUCH A MAJOR COMPONENT WITH A RESISTANT COMPONENT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED NOW SINCE 2008 WHEN THIS ISSUE HAD BEEN DISCOVERED. BEAUTIFUL CAR AND I'D LIKE THE SUB=FRAME REPLACED, ONLY THAT COMPONENT NEEDED TO ENABLE ROADABILITY. PHOTO/S OF DEGRADATION UPON REQUEST.

2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GM VEHICLES AND A SOFT BUSHING PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION AT THE THIRD CLUTCH HOUSING THAT WEARS OUT PREMATURELY AND TRANSMISSION OIL POURS OUT THE LEFT AXLE SEAL *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPLACE THE OIL SEAL AND BUSHING IS IN ACCESS OF $2000. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE WRONG BUSHING MATERIAL WAS USED DURING THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE. GM STATED THE BUSHING, BOLTED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WAS A STANDARD WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. *JB UPDATED 06/28/11. *JB

VEHICLE WILL START TO SHAKE WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MPH. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *AK THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DEALER TRIED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A NEW DRIVESHAFT, A NEW WINSHIELD WAS APPLIED DUE TO A CHIP IN THE INSIDE OF WINDSHIELD, THE WHEEL HAD BEEN BENT/REPLACED, BALANCED/ALIGNED AND ADDED A NEW RIM, AND SUPPOSEDLY A NEW SET OF TIRES FROM CADILLAC-BUT HAD THE SAME MARKINGS OF THE OLD TIRES/SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF. WITH ALL REPAIR AND MAINTENENCE MADE ON THE VEHICLE, THE VIBRATION STILL EXSISTS AND SEEMS TO GET WORSE(THE LONGER THE TRIP AND WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES/STRAIGHTENING OUT). THE ENGINE WHINES WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AND DECREASES WHEN SLOWED, ALSO THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A BIG CLUNK NOISE AND LUNGES WHEN IT FIRST SHIFTS. *SCC
