1999 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Rock Hill, SC, November 26, 2012 15:41I own a 1999 Seville STS with 193k miles. The only issues on the interior are: Front passenger door lock switch will only un-lock, not lock. Front passenger window regulator failed, needs replaced. Brake light circuit open, switch needs alignment. Only mechanical problems are: Right rear air ride strut has air leak, causes compressor to run often. Does not affect driving performance but will cause compressor failure if not repaired. Going to convert to coils. Front end alignment is good, but steering wheel is not aligned to the center postion. Does not affect driving performance. Car is still going strong. not throwing any major codes. Compresssion is stil good, head gaskets are good. Brake rotors have a minor warp but nothing too serious.Flag ThisLike0

1998 Cadillac Seville STStgimacb, Evergreen, CO, March 13, 2012 12:27Beautiful to behold. Always silky smooth to drive. Fifth generation Seville touts a K style Oldsmobile Aurora body, the structure much stiffer with front-drive drivetrain featuring the muscle Northstar V8 and 4T80-E four-speed automatic (which is probably its worst component) I miss the wreath crest, but otherwise, the lines are striking and the crimson red exterior and cream leather interior are eye catching. Paid too much - the dealer wore a starched white shirt and cuff links in a Italian suit and proclaims he's just a country boy. KBB says it's worth $5K but you couldn't match the luxury feel and the dependability for that.RookieFlag ThisLike0

1992 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Lancaster, TX, February 23, 2012 14:17Well,one day at lunch time I went a eat at a fast food place and went inside to get my meal,turned the car off as always. when I returned I put the key in the ignition and turned the key and got nothing,no click,not anything. All the lights come inside and out, so I thought it was the starter,got a new one and put it on, battery was low so another battery to help start the car,it turned over but would not start, so I asked my friend next door for bust and when he put the cable on the and I tried starting it, it wouldn't say anything at all,I don't understand what could be wrong!!Flag ThisLike | 4 people like this4

1997 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Annandale On Hudson, NY, February 09, 2012 04:56I was driving to school no less then 10 minutes ago, every thing was fine. THen the low oil light went on. I changed it last week so i knew that was off. Then the power steering went off, i managed to turn into my college, then fuel injection failed. Everything still worked, i turned the car off then back on, and every thing worked. I am taking the old girl to the shop, but does anyone have any ideas why this happened.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2003 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Saint Cloud, MN, January 11, 2012 22:11I own a 1998 and 2003 Cadillac STS, both have had oil leaks and driver's seat heater failure at approximately 85,000 miles. The resealing of the crankcase and oil pan requires removing the transmission. Paid $1,500 each to reseal the engines. The seat heater requires pulling the cover and cushion back and splicing the broken wire feeding into the heating pad. I paid $245 to have a repair shop do this on my 1998 STS. I did it myself on the 2003. I use a single strand, out of a light gauge electrical wire, to make the splice. Then wrap the splice with electrical tape.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

1999 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Phoenix, AZ, November 01, 2011 03:56My 99 has 175,000. Ive had the head gaskets done, replaced the radiator, and a few small items. Only the drivers side window works. The other 3 had the regulators break within 2 days of each other. Need to replace ABS sensor in right front. Upgraded the speakers from Bose to Sony. HUGE DIFFERENCE. Has 20's on her. Really does compromise the ride but you get used to it and they look great. I love this car but Im going to have to sink even more money into it to make it right. Should not have to do that on a car over 50K new. Wise up GMFlag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2000 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Springfield, OH, September 05, 2011 09:21Car runs even better than the day that I purchased it. Purchased at 82K miles needed new brakes, tires, and crankshaft sensors but runs like new now. The handling is great for a car as big as it is and it rides smooth although the brakes you have to stomp on to get the car to stop(maybe bigger breaks on a 4000 pound car next time GM) But the engine and the exhaust systems run amazingly no issues except the north-star oil leak. Accessories are top notch as wellFlag ThisLike0

2002 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Burbank, CA, April 18, 2011 21:01Everything I ever wanted included leather interior and an easy to use dash, good mileage on cruise control, love the back up assist and moving mirrors. Small things like shift knob "wood" is faded. It goes through oil but I've had VWs that leak more. Reached 90K and just put on new tires and needed major overhaul on the power steering, alignment etc. Sometimes it's not as smooth on the freeway, steering wheel vibrates but maybe thats L.A.Flag ThisLike | 2 people like this2

1996 Cadillac Seville STSelmorekb, Springfield, IL, October 25, 2010 21:31Purchased 1996 STS used in Spring of 1998 . Body and interior still perfect. No hint of rust , no rattles noise or wear on inside, Car looks, rides, drives as good as the day I bought it. Zero mechanical problems other than routine maintenance and oil changes. Engine uses no oil and runs perfect. Only real issue I have had is some electrical problems with power windows, climate control module, and traction control module. Best car I ever owned and plan to drive this until the wheels fall off. Have no desire to ever get rid of this car. Absolutely love this car!!!!!!EnthusiastFlag ThisLike0

2001 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Lenoir City, TN, August 26, 2010 23:33Replacement HID Headlights cost more at the Cadillac Dealer Parts Dept. than what the whole car is worth used. Other than that, I believe this is the best car for the money .... that money can buy. I made the mistake of buying my wife a used 2001 Seville STS , and now I'll have to pay four times what I paid for this car, to replace it with ANY make of car that is only half as nice as this STS was when i bought it.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

1993 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Mitchell, SD, July 27, 2010 21:55I love the way my car drives, smooth and comfortable and everything inside works. Only problem is the pretty fake wood trim around the gear shifter is breaking away. If I keep my speed below 65 I get between 25-35 mpg with cruise on, of course, depends on the road grade too. It is costly to maintain the way it needs.Flag ThisLike | 3 people like this3

1993 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Tuskegee Institute, AL, July 26, 2010 23:33I have a 1993 Cadillac sts and it is over 17 years old...it still runs but i have had to do a lot of replacement work on it recently. The transmission will give you issues once you pass the 170,000 mile mark but the engine is the best I have ever seen (except the slow oil leak of northstars). I love this car but it is expensive to repair if not maintained. I will drive it until it wont drive anymore.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2001 Cadillac Seville STSVisitor, Hanover, NH, April 26, 2010 15:09I have owned my Cadillac since it was new in 2001. Now with 100,000k miles, I have had absolutely no major issues with it at this point in time. Now the car does have the common North Star Oil leak, and it has had the intermediate shaft replaced. Those are not serious failures. But these are the common issues, and I don't care about a little bit of oil under my 9 year old car. All in all, this car has been very trouble free and it has more performance and handling than half the cars out there, and it will keep going for as long as I keep taking care of it.Flag ThisLike | 4 people like this4
