This car has been nothing but trouble. Its first defect was on the trip home from the dealer. The stabilty systems yaw sensor went right away. Next the sunroof, the A/C system leaked into the cabin and flooded the floors. The seat tracks rusted, the wires got wet, the oil cooler leaked coolant. 17 days total out of service so far and there are more problems, too many to list!
Ready to burn!!

I bought this certified pre-own (34K miles)car as a lease turn in and have been regreting it ever since.After 50k miles the car fell apart I've spent over $6k in repairs on this piece of junk and it only has 110k miles on it and it is currently broke down now. The brake lines in the rear rusted out with a repair cost of $1100.The oil pump started leaking at 75k miles. Take my advice STAY AWAY from Cadillac they will screw you in the end and to top it off they issue no recalls for this car at all and they know it has major issues! I REALLY HATE THIS CAR it like a bad marriage and I want OUT!!!

The design of the CTS windshield and dashboard creates serious reflections that can blind a driver, as happened to me, when the conditions are right. The dashboard is highly reflective and only a moderate amount of sunlight seriously reduces visability. I test drove the car on a cloudy day. Today was sunny, I got blinded and asked the dealer to rescind the transaction. Another problem, the ride. When I went over a public street that was suffering from a washboard effect, I bounced so high that I would have hit the ceiling if I hadn't been properly strapped in. AVOID THIS CAR AT ALL COSTS.

I loved my car at first but between 2000 and 6000 miles it has been in the shop 6 times, the last three for a coolant leak. Cadillac has refused to replace my car insisting that they can repair the cracked head. I have retained a lemon law attorney who assures me I have a very strong case. Bob Lutz seemed to be making a difference with GM and especially Cadillac, unfortunately their quality problems appear to me to be reminisent of the 80's. I am so disapointed. I just turned 40,and I bought my first cadillac. Next time I will go with the BMW or Lexus.
