Used 2006 Cadillac DTS Sedan Consumer Reviews

Great car but with Headlight Issues

The headlights on this vehicle go on and off without doing anything. Either right and left and will leave you with only one light on and maybe no headlights on, and Cadillac dealers don't know the fix. I don't drive the car at night because I'm afraid of not having any headlights. Cannot understand why GM doesn't have a safety recall on this problem. The car came with a 3 month warranty and took it into the Cadillac dealership where I bought it from and they replaced both Headlight Bulbs and both Ballast's at the cost of $1,251.00 and no problem since. This dealership in Merrillville Indiana is by far the best and they sure are honest. The thing I don't understand is why GM never had a recall on this issue as others have the same problem. Been almost a year now and headlights are working great. Had to take back to dealership back in February because of oil leaks in the engine and at the cost of $3150.00 can still smell oil leaking on the exhaust somewhere.. Still covered by dealership warranty. In September of 2019 had to take vehicle in to dealership for check-engine light on at a cost of $500.00 for a O.2 Sensor on right side exhaust. Labor is very expensive for work at a Cadillac dealership for sure and am afraid to go in for any further work.

NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER'S BOAT

Just traded my 04 Deville - which I loved but wanted to upgrade. The 06 DTS is chock full of features and is tuned much differently than the previous model. Feels more Euro and has a throatier exhaust and more road feel. Seats are way more supportive. Solid as a rock though and is still a wonderful example of what makes big American cars different from the rest

worst car ever and service

worst car ever, I'v had my car for 2 years.12 times back in dealer for all kinds of electrical problems, transmission, drive train, suspension was out at 30000 miles and dealership manager said that everything is normal, same was with transmission at 5K miles car was jerking ,the gear change was wery rough, and again I was told by the service manager ,everything is normal, it took 6 trips to the dealer and and 40K miles later to make the dealer look at the problem again and finally figure it out.My advice for potential cadilac DTS buyer: If you are planning to buy the car for driving ,not sitting in a garage, please buy different car , You'll save yourself a lot of nerves,honestly!!!!

DTS great car

Problem with Battery Recharger

My vehicle is 14 months old (5,350 miles) and when driven, it's a dream. However, one day after 11 months of driving, it would not start in mid-town NY. It was then "repaired" by a dealer. One and a half months later, the same thing happened. Again, it was repaired (it took 5 days) by the same dealer. Last night, after midnight (less than 3 months from "Repair Job #2), it wouldn't start again. The motor didn't even turn over. Then, 40 minutes later, it started up! This lack of reliability is insane and is the reason that I'm getting rid of an otherwise great looking/driving automobile.
