Airbag light kept coming on when the car was turned on. Sometimes this would stay on for 1 or 2 minutes. Called the dealer and they said it was not on the recall. When told them what it was doing, they said not to drive it & get a loaner. I have to pay $1300 to have this fixed. This should have been fixed by the company not by me.

Engine began to leak oil after 40000 miles. The company and dealership assured me this was normal. Longer I operated this car, more it began to leak. At first few drops, then later, 1-2 qts between oil changes. Today, it is worst. I have spent several thousand dollars related to this engine. The leaks continue to this date. Engine stopped once on me, shut off, nothing worked. No airbag, any electrical service. Hit hole in road and everything shut off. Called company many times, wrote to president, other executives all to no avail. There are many cadillac devilles with same leaking problem, the northstar engine has this problem since 1998, on all their models. It is like the key, they will do nothing until made to correct it. I hope you follow through, this is not right and cause many problems with deep expenses for owners.
