“I understand from my mechanic that there have been several cases of cracked transmission cases, which are very expensive. I would have hoped that Cadillac would pay for the parts to repair this repair, since it could have resulted in a fatility. Do people have to die before a safety issue like this is acted upon?”
NHTSA complaint #742152, filed 2001-03“Oil pan gasket leaking.....theres been a service bulliten alert put out on this in feb. 1996. My transmission was replaced in 1997 and the gasket should have been replaced at this time. Oil is leaking fairly bad and I was informed by Cadillac mechanic that the oil going back on the exhaust system and the cad. Converter could caught fire. I'm trying to get cadallic to replace this gasket at their cost. They want to charge me $1500.00 to replace this $28.00 part. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.”
