Cadillac DeVille Problems
Power Window Regulators may Fail
One or more of the power window regulators (one in each door) may fail causing the window to fall into the door and not roll up.
Oil Leaks From Lower Engine Area
The engine may develop oil leaks from the lower crankcase portion of the engine block. Our technicians tell us that the engine must be removed from the vehicle to properly repair this oil leak.
Improper HVAC Temperature and/or Air Delivery Due to Failed Mode Door Actuator
One or more heater & AC (HVAC) air delivery and/or temperature mode door actuator may fail. This can result in incorrect air delivery or temperature. If this occurs, fault code(s) stored in the HVAC control module should be available to assist with diagnoses.
ABS Light Due to Control Module Failure
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module may fail causing the ABS light to illuminate. Failed modules should be replaced to restore ABS operation.
Trunk Lid Won't Close Due to Trunk Pull Down Switch Failure
The trunk pull down switch may fail causing the trunk lid not to close completely. Our technicians tell us that the failed switch can be replaced without changing the complete pull down motor assembly.

This is the car that you want if you take long trips, or if you like driving in the city at low speeds. This is by no means a sports car and should be driven by people who aren't erratic drivers.
Extreme comfort in this car. The buttons and controls are all easy to deal with.
It has some known issues that are basically universal to this engine...it is not terribly easy to work on because of limited space, but is much easier than your German luxury cars.
All in all, I love this car, and if you can find a good one, get it.
My 1997 Cadillac deville which only has 72,000 miles has a shot A/C compressor. Don't know why. I read about a recall but want to know if anyone out there can give me information about this or perhaps has had the same problem.
This is my 3rd cadilac. I bought it used in August and I knew it had a few issues to fix then. Nothing I couldn't fix later. The speedometer didn't work and the drivers window only goes down about 4 inches and the drivers side mirror will not adjust from the inside. But other than that, the car is as clean as a showroom car.. I drove it all over for a few months and wouldn't be afraid to drive anywhere in it. I just bought a GPS to tell me what speed I was going instead of fixing the speedometer right now. But last weekend I did have to put a altenater on it. But on a used car, you have to expect things like that once in awhile. No since to be upset yet. I had a 88 deville and loved it and never spent a dime on repairs before a semi ran into me from behind. Then I replaced it with a 91 Cadilac Eldorado and I would have drove the wheels off it had a tree not fell on top of it 6 years later. So I replaced it with a lemon of a van that I put money in left and right for 5 1/2 yrs and finally sold it this summer and bought this cadilac. Seems they were good to me. I don't care that we're supposed to buy cars with 40 mile per hour milege, I want what I'm familiar and comfortable with.
I brought this car from an aucstion in August,2011, The car leaks, oil and has white smoke, now. Smells of anti-freeze, on and off. Mechanic fixed rack and pinion steering,didn;t need. $455.00 oil still leaks, mechanic repaired again, transmission seal leaked, oil pan gasket leaked. car still leaking around the driver side wheel, spots on the ground, spot, spot, spot. sound comes from rear passenger side. should have bought a 1998 sts, smaller, but appears less headaches, thinking of trading, for what, all cars seem to have such problem, made with cheap parts.
