Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 cadillac deville, there is a problem with the rear suspension knuckle assembly, i have had this car to 2 different dealers, the second dealer, last summer, replaced the rear struts & stabilizer bar which did not rectify the situation when ambient temperatures are above 60 degrees, i hear a "fierce" screech/scrunch sound from the rear suspension, i have gone round & round with cadillac customer service & the dealers, now that the car is no longer under warranty cadillac doesn't want anything to do with it. i had my oil changed & the tires rotated last week & while they were under the car i had them to look at the rear suspension, they said it needed a new knuckle assembly & the dealer knew better than replace rear struts with this type of noise. it seems that nourse cadillac in delaware ran up a big tab & billed it to cadillac (warranty) and as soon as they made their money they wanted nothing more to do with the car so now i am stuck. a car of this magnitude & price should not have rear components wearing like this, i only have 77,000 miles on the car & i do not drive it hard....what do i do?*ak
