I purchased a 99 Catera about two years ago and sense then this car is a cardboard box on wheels. The alarm system as gone loopy in the sense that I couldn't start my vehicle unless I cranked it once left it for 15-30 min and then cranked it again. After disabling the alarm system it would only happen on occasion. The ac/heater went out due to the compressor having to much compression. The sunroof opens and closes by itself or not at all. The vacuum hoses had holes in it which was a recall but not to ken batchleor. The mass air flow sensor hs gone out three times and costs 300 to replace everytime. My upper radiator hose leaks continuously by the clamp. The leveling light will stay on for days at a time. The arm that keeps my drivers door open broke through the door weldings and is dangling in the door. The seals all had to be replaced due to water in the engine. I paid more in repairs for this vehicle then what it originally cost. The drivers front and rear window gets stuck and opens by their selves. The door locks do not lock fully or open fully. The horn will go out all together in the rain. Everytime I take it in they can never read any err codes and it takes me several attempts to explain the issue causing me to get repairs that aren't part of the main problem. There is no camber adjustments in this car so if U hit a curb your screwed. Gas full stop randomly does not work and causes loss of money and gas. Me and my family of 5 have been stranded for hours due to many issues with this car and here in Texas with a car that has no ac or heater is a major pain. Anyone who hasn't bought one... don't!!!! Cadillac themselves took the ducks off the emblem after 99 because they themselves didn't think of this car as a Cadillac standard car. When I called ken batchlore they stated there where only two recalls for this vehicle but had already expired and stated there was nothing they could do. I feel something needs to be done about this ignorance. Problems since 06-present.

I brought this vehicle at enterprise used car sales on April 30,2002. I was guaranteed a bumber-to-bumber inspection of the car and was to be in operational condition. After I left the lot with the car; I could only go approximatly a 1/4 of mile before I needed to get gas in the car. That was the begining of the trouble. So far since April of this year I've had to replace all of the tires, brakes, and other repairs that thankfully was still under the warranty. The car had to be towed twice to the dealership. As we speak the car is being repaired again. The dealership had informed me that I have three holes in the car that has caused the car to overheat, plus other problems that they have found. When it rained the car leaked inside. At first I thought I may have forgoten to roll up a window. After the second time I knew better and took it into the dealership. I found it hard to believe that enterprise never had a problem with it when I experinced it a couple of times before I went to investgate. The reason that I'm contacting you is that after talking to a repersenative of enterprise, and informing him of the same information that I have just informed you of; I was treated as if I'm some kind of inept person who could not even understand the simplistic workings of a vehicle such as flat tires with metal threads showing through, or able to notice the brake light on the dash board or the sounds of metal rubbing on metal. I was asked repeatly if I knew for sure that the brakes were really needing to be replaced or if it was some type of scam that the dealership was trying to get extra money, or if I took the brakes home as evidence. I don't know of too many people who request their old brakes for some type of evidence. After about 10 minutes of this type of interogation I ended the conversation realizing that absolutely nothing was going to be done about the situation.
