I bought this car 3 years ago and it has so many problems that it's been parked for the last year and a half. Carfax on it said zero accidents one owner and I bought it with 99,000 miles on it, first thing I bought in the middle of winter and I never checked the air conditioning, found out that it never worked, about a year later it started having overheating problems, then I found out that the all-wheel-drive wasn't working properly, and when I finally parked it the the whole cluster of the dashboard stop working couldn't tell how much gas I had in the car or how fast I was going and it just blinked at me like a strobe light. I hope to never have to deal with a caddy again. It's been 5 years now I put about $6,000 into the car and it still doesn't work.

Timing chain issues, Wheel sensors need to be replaced at 70k miles. Sun roof drain clogs, then leaks inside and soaks into the floor carpet. Head lights fog up. $800 replacement cost. Low oil warning non existent. You don't have to change your oil because you have to keep adding a quart every 1000 miles. If this is the best car GM can make they're in trouble.

It’s been a nightmare

I bought this car in February 2022 it’s now late July 2022 this car has been in the shop more than it’s been on the road. I’ve replaced the following in 5 months. Flywheel, rear main seal, rear shocks, two tire sensors, windshield wipers, all 02 sensors, new ECM, radiator fan motor, ignition coil, spark plugs. Car now needs motor mounts replaced and as of late getting an occasional thumping noise from the rear end when driving at certain speeds. Rear differential maybe in the beginnings of failing. I’m not going to stick around and find out Im going to trade it in and run not walk but run!!! Every time I get one thing fixed three more things decide to break or go bad.

I traded in a small economy car with no extras except power steering and brakes. My wife drives a 2004 RX330, so I do own something to compare the CTS to. The CTS was purchased during the red tag sale. I have never been more satisfied with a auto purchase. The price was right and the salesman and dealership are right up there with the Lexus dealerships that I have had experience with. The engine is a dream, the ride is super, the handling is excellent, including a tight turning circle. My wife and took a 1600 mile trip over a three day period (24 MPG). 700 miles each day going and coming back. We were never tired and had a ball learning to use XM, nav and OnStar. I love this car!
