“A number of problems was wrong with vehicle: fog lights burned out fast/ radiator lights came on/steering mechanism malfunctioned, and tires have been changed a few times. Tread separated while making a left turn. Dealer and manufacturer were trying to remedy problem. Consumer wanted dealer/manufacturwer to buy back vehicle.”

“While slowing down from 65 to 5 MPH, the vehicle lost all steering power causing loss of control. Consumer managed to pull of the road. Vehicle was towed to dealer & they informed consumer that the harmonic balancer broke, which caused the steering belt to fall off. Currently, vehicle is at dealership being repaired.”

“Without warning, the steering linkage on driver side snapped while operating vehicle at a slow speed. I need to know if the same type of failure has occurred on other Cadillac Catera's or other models built since 1997.”

“Due to a defect in front aligment tires wore excessively. The rotors were turned and resurfaced several times. The brakes pulsate, squeak and go too low to the floor. The third set of tires that were on the vehicle were wearing out due to an alignment problem, also another tire was leaking air. The passenger rear door handle broke and the driver's rear door hinge was unstable, also the driver's door lock sticks. The wipers scrub. The steering column makes noise. The right side head light shines too high.”
