In the 15 months I've owned this car it has been in the shop over 45 days. The large sunroof rattles. Replaced it and still not good. I'm on the 3rd. radio. Still bad. Dead battery problems. The wipers squeak. Dealer can't fix it. There is a burning smell in the car and GM states there is no problem but they suspect the hoses. Amazing. This car is nothing but a rattle trap. I've had more problems with this car than any other car I have. I have an attorney and am going for the Lemon Law in Michigan.

I bought this car in the blind, had no knowledge of the car. I am pleased with the car overall, but many technology features that are on basic Chevy models are not on this car. I have no ports, I cant use bluetooth, I can tether the car to anything. But the car also makes noise when rides, when taken to the dealer to be checked nothing can be found. This car also drinks gas like about 12/15 miles per gallon. Its still the best car that I ever owed. My car has 114k on it and it does not show it its like new. I have made repairs to the manifold, breaks and their is a light out that I refuse to tackle, as it appears so hard to get to. After owning this car for 10 months, I have learned a great deal. Issues are created on this car for no reason. I have had issues with the CD player, won't reset and/or work. The suspension is terrible. $600 for a wheel bearing. Air conditioning never worked, $700 repair. Trade in value is horrible, or that may be me, because I paid to much for the car. But my biggest surprise was having the blinker/running lights replaced, $375.00 per side. In order to replace the lights, tires have to be removed and special tools are needed that a normal person would not have bought them and still could not replace the lights, just paid for it. I have driven this car 7k miles and things just go work. Thanks Cadillac. Going to a Lincoln next month. I had a choice between a Lincoln and this car made a bad decision.

Since I only have 700 words, I'll stick to the major issues. ENGINE had to be REPLACED completely at 50,000 miles!! Apparently, it burned up all of its oil and seized. POWER STEERING PUMP had to be REPLACED completely. No explanation given. ABS and TRACTION CONTROL module flooded during heavy rain (it's on the bottom of the chasis). Brakes worn out pre-maturely. Rear Windshield washer NEVER worked. Suspension system making strange noises. Overall, in the 10 months that we've owned this heap, it has spent at total of 1 entire month in the shop, at a cost of over $5000 over the warranty. And don't get me started about the terrible Cadillac Dealer Experience. We are going to Hyundai.

The repairs on this car are phenomenal. I have never spent so much money in a short amount of time. I have owned cars for 40 plus years.
