POWER STEERING FLUID IS SQUIRTING ALL OVER MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE, BUT CADILLAC KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT'S NOT A PROBLEM FOR MY VIN. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR, POWER STEERING FLUID CONTACTS THE HOT ENGINE PARTS AND BEGINS SMOKING. THEY'VE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS. I DON'T WANT MY CAR TO CATCH FIRE SO I STOPPED DRIVING IT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW IS A PROBLEM, HENCE THEIR OWN RECALL. THEY TELL ME I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND IF IT'S PART OF THE RECALL, I MIGHT GET REIMBURSED.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKERS AND THEN TURNS OFF. RANDOM LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE, TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY 4 TIMES, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG ... BS 😡 !! I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AT 28,000 MI & STILL THE SAME AT 50,000 MI ... WAITING FOR A RECALL ?? COME GM THIS CAR WAS NOT CHEAP !!!

HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING HOSE (#06V105000) AND WHEN I NOTICED THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM I CALLED CADILLAC FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND GO OUT. IF YOU TURN AUTO OFF AND BACK ON, THE HEADLIGHTS COME BACK ON, BUT DO NOT STAY ON. . RIGHT SIDE MORE OFTEN THEN LEFT, BUT BOTH FLICKER AND TURN OFF. THIS CONDITION WAS THERE WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD BUT WASN'T VERY BAD SO DIDN'T GET IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTEE. NOW THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD, BUT CANNOT GET ANY DEALER TO EVEN LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A BROAD RECALL BY GM COVERING MANY OTHER MODELS AND YEARS, BUT THIS ONE WASN'T LISTED. IF THERE IS EVER A LOSS IN HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT, GM MAY FINALLY SHOW SOME INTEREST. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN MOTION HOWEVER NOT 100%. THIS STARTED BACK IN 2007 AND HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE THEN. THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH DEALERS IN WISCONSIN AND FLORIDA TO NO SATISFACTION BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST FOR THIS PROBLEM.

LEFT HEADLIGHT FLICKERS & WILL GO OFF ON IT'S OWN. HAVE REPLACED EXTERIOR LIGHT ASSEMBLY TWICE. ONE USED AND ONE WITH NEW BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED. STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. TURNING THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON WII RE ILLUMINATE THE LIGHTS. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES, ANDI FEEL THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS YET TO OFFER ANY RECALL ON THIS ISSUE THAT I KNOW OF. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY WHEN DRIVING OR IN MOTION.

BOTH BLOCK HALVES AND THE CAM COVERS BEGAN LEAKING AND THEY TELL ME THE REPAIR WILL COST $3,500.00. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE AND HAS LOW MILEAGE FOR A 2006. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR CADILAC.

LEFT HEADLAMP FLICKERS AND GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. FIRST NOTICED WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING GARAGE GOING TO WORK IN 2014, BUT WHEN I CHECKED BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE-LIGHTS WERE WORKING. WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCE ON FREEWAY IN MAR 2015, PROBLEM BECAME VERY APPARENT. LIGHTS FLICKERED BRIGHT, THEN DIMMED, THEN FLICKERED OUT (JUST LEFT SIDE) REPEATEDLY DURING 3 HOUR DRIVE IN MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON BY TURNING SWITCH ON/OFF. OF COURSE, CARS IN FRONT OF ME THOUGHT I WAS SIGNALING THEM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. (ALSO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS) DEALER COULD FIND NO CAUSE AND RECOMMENDED NEW SWITCH. REPLACED SWITCH BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. TOOK BACK TO DEALER - NOW STATING CAR NEEDS A NEW HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY FOR $1300. OTHER FORUMS INDICATE REPLACING HEADLAMP HAS NOT "FIXED' THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

DURING A FAMILY OUTING, I NOTICED A REAR TIRE THAT HAD LOST AIR PRESSURE AGAIN. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO VISIT A DISCOUNT TIRE, TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WE HADN'T RUN OVER A NAIL NOR A SCREW, BUT HAD BECOME THE VICTIMS OF CADILLAC'S INFERIOR PRODUCTION. THE CHROME PLATING BEGAN TO PEEL, AND SEPARATE FROM THE ALLOY WHEELS. I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE INFERIOR AFTERMARKET WHEELS IN ORDER TO GET MY FAMILY HOME. THE INFORMATIVE, AND INTEGRATIVE AGENT AT DISCOUNT TIRE SHOWED ME THAT ALL FOUR OF MY STOCK, CHROME, CADILLAC WHEELS HAD PREMATURELY CORRODED, FORCING MY WIFE AND I TO REPLACE THE WHEELS. WE HAVE BEEN SPUN, DISMISSED, AND IGNORED BY NUMEROUS CADILLAC CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AGENTS, REGARDING THIS ISSUE, IN SPITE OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LOGGED BY OTHER DTS OWNERS, POSTED ONTO GMINSIDER.COM.

MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, COUGHLIN MOTORS OF MARYSVILLE, OHIO, IS RETICENT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, BUT, MY QUESTION IS, DOESN'T THE PRESIDENT OF OUR GREAT NATION, RIDE IN A DTS? IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS OF HIS WHEELS? WELL, OUR VEHICLE HAD THE SAME WHEELS. IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION, CADILLAC HAS PRODUCED AN INFERIOR PRODUCT, AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT. AFTER ALL, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND HIS FAMILY, SHOULD BE WELCOMED TO THE SAME DURABILITY AND LONGEVITY, OF CADILLAC'S PRODUCT, MY FAMILY AND I, ARE ENTITLED TO? AFTER ALL, DIDN'T ALL OF US

THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING...THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING.

I WAS LATER INFORMED BY A MECHANIC AT AAA THAT A BRACKET THAT CONNECTS THE ENGINE TO THE CAR'S FRAME HAD COME LOOSE AND THE ENGINE WAS VIBRATING, WHICH CAUSED THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR THE POWER STEERING TO BECOME WORN, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SHORT OUT.
