Cadillac · Model Report
Showing safety data for the 1987 model year only.
AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE CAR HAD CONTROL PROBLEMS, AND WHEN I HIT A BUMP THE CAR WOULD ACTUALLY JUMP AND BOUNCE AND BECOME DANGEROUSLY UNCONTROLLABLE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO PAUL WILLIAMS TIRE COMPANY ON LAKE STREET IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A SUSPENSION PROBLEM SUCH AS SHOCKS, ETC. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE BOLTS HAD CORRODED OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS BOUNCING ON THE FRAME AND THIS WAS CAUSING ALL MY PROBLEMS. IT COST $710 TO REPAIR - $617 FOR THE REPAIR AND $93 FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR 2 DAYS. THEY HAD TROUBLE OBTAINING THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR. *AK
