The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

NHTSA campaign number:

04V110000

Defective part or component:
|
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
|
|
Description:
|
Some passenger vehicles equipped with 4.0 liter V8 engines have a condition in which the nylon tubing used in the fuel rail construction may degrade and crack. Additionally, the 1995 model year uses a unique underhood fuel return line that may crack at unusually high rates. Cracking of the fuel rail or return line tubing can result in a fuel leak into the engine compartment. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine fuel rail with a new stainless steel fuel rail. Dealers will also install a revised chassis fuel return line. The recall began on June 2, 2004, for 1996-1997 Oldsmobile Aurora vehicles. Owners of 1995 Cadillacs and 1996-1997 Oldsmobile Aurora were sent letters on August 6, 2004. Additional letters to owners will be forthcoming. Owners should contact Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.

Summary:
|
Powering its way up the prestige ladder
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
So are we saying the Cadillac Seville has rolled up onto the same plateau as a car like the Lexus LS 400? Not yet.We can say that the price of all that heady horsepower is a pretty hefty thirst for fuel. Part of this is due to a little-old-lady-from-Pasadena syndrome that tends to seize STS drivers - you can't keep your foot off the accelerator. But part is due to the car's sheer mass. GM just can't seem to keep weight out of its luxury cars, and though the STS is about 100 lb. less than the Oldsmobile Aurora, it's no wraith. However, the biggest gap that Cadillac has to close between itself and Lexus has to do with quality. The Lexus LS 400 has established quality standards Cadillac and everyone else in the industry are still chasing. But judging by the fit-and-finish of our test car, we think it's fair to say that Cadillac is steadily gaining ground. |
|
Overview:
|
There isn't much doubt that Cadillac is, slowly but surely, disentangling itself from its overstuffed, undersprung past. Yes, there are still traditional dreadnoughts in the lineup, cars such as the Fleetwood and the ponderous Fleetwood Brougham, the biggest car sold in America. But their days are numbered, and Cadillac's newer cars - the Seville in particular - are much more in step with the times. They're leaner, meaner, technologically advanced and much more responsive. It can certainly be argued that the Seville doesn't pack the kind of prestige associated with Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus. But it packs a potent punch - and in the luxury market, that's certainly a key ingredient. Both versions of this car - the Seville Luxury Sedan (SLS) and Seville Touring Sedan (STS) - have power to spare. The STS, our test car, is the sportier of the two, as well as the more potent, as a price of $46,750 might just indicate.
