Depending on whether you got yours early or late in year makes a huge difference, the early months that year of 2010 where horrible and the later month models were better made parts. Labor and design on some parts to me at Cadillac is the problem...

Bought our 2005, kept it for 4 years, then traded in for a 2009. Still have it, live it! Stylish, handles extremely well, good value, great gas efficiency. Total comfort, hands down!

I have had this car since May 2009, and love it. It is fun to drive and haven't had one problem what so ever. It has 74,000 miles on it and is at the dealer today, had them check it from the front end to rear end and it needs nothing !!! Still has the factory brakes on it !! The only thing I have done to it is oil changes and one set of tires at 74,000. I love this ride, can't get over this car, runs strong, and looks great. Love the black ice paint !! Great Job GM, I will buy another one in the future !!! This car was worth every penny I spent on it !!! Hennessy Cadillac in Duluth service dept is jam up !!!

If I wanted a waterfall option, I'd have purchased

I purchased this car with much excitement, I finally owned a Cadillac after 55 years on this planet. I wanted one since I was a little boy. This car has been a nightmare, repair after repair, and never runs without a check engine light coming on after a few miles. The fuel pump melted pouring gasoline over the exhaust, luckily we weren't killed, they recalled all model years up to 2008, I have the 2009, so even though the part used was the same, no coverage, $1600 out of pocket. The exhaust system fell off twice, battery died multiple times, brakes went out, seats and electronics all went bad after the repeated leaks from wherever, 4 inches of water on floor in back seat, trunk with a foot of water, and dashboard where computers and electronics are housed lots like a waterfall when it rains...car is totaled, mold ,mildew, just a mess. The folks at GM do nothing for you, and the dealer could care less, actually offers to sell me another Cadillac, as if that is doing me a favor...Hudgins Chevrolet Cadillac in Williamsburg, Virginia, stay away from them, they don't care. This car was a lemon, never again with a GM product.

I bought this car used in May of 2017. It’s a beautiful car for sure but it’s been nothing but a money pit since the day I got it. I’ve replaces the throttle body, auxiliary coolant pump, the regular coolant pump, spark plugs, coil packs, the cooling fan resistor, all 4 hubs, the battery 2x, and the headlights are the biggest pain to change. My passenger back window stopped working, park assist stopped working, and my engine light is more than not always on. If I knew what I was getting into I wouldn’t have bought the car. I did some research before purchasing to see what the common problems were and the timing chain aka $$$ was the only real problem that could occur. Im hoping I can keep this car running until I can save up for a Subaru... I feel like I’m driving a lemon and it’s just a huge waste of money. I’m afraid to drive it far distances because it’s every other week with this thing. Who knows what will go wrong next...
