Transmission issues?

I Purchased my 2017 XT5 in October 2016. Currently has 11,800 miles. For the second time I have noticed that my transmission indicator light has come on. Dealer checked it out indicating there were no problems. Upon pulling in my garage today, the transmission light has come on again. I’m starting to notice that the transmission feels like it’s slipping. Calling again to have it checked/fixed. Stop/idle function function is no longer working. And I to have a rattling noise in the backseat that I cannot locate. Sadly I have paid my SUV off already. Under warranty so I anticipate immediate resolution. Check thoroughly before making your purchase, although it is very classy I did not expect to be even considering these types of issues so soon after a purchase.

takes a little while to get used to the operation of dashboard controls after a month I think I have it down not that happy with the shift lever operation but so far I have to say I love this car the lane keeping is very handy although if you take your hands off the steering wheel it tells you do no do that.also it shows you the distance you are from the car ahead of you in seconds but over all i love it a much better car than my old lincoln MKX

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!! I bought brand new.... the Auto Stop has been in for service 3 times, the motor mount has broken twice.... so in a year and half 5.... yes you heard me 5 service trips!!!! I would have never expected this from a Cadillac!!!!!!! I am now after a1 1/2 years looking to trade this car in!!! the charger is a pain, the wireless part has never worked with my Iphone. I drive a lot and after 6 months the beige soft leather interior had to be cleaned twice because even clean business attire got the seats dirty... I had to get a seat cover so as not to ruin the seats with just daily wear and tear.

Cadillac XT5 Start/Stop Feature

I think that I am having troubles with the start/stop feature since the car has not turned off in almost 3 weeks and about 1000 miles of driving. I contacted the service dept. at the dealer about 2 weeks ago and the service adviser didn't even seem to know that the XT5 had a no-turn- off start/stop system so he told me to just keep driving. I then called the salesman who told me to drive the car until the weather cooled down to see if it would turn off on its own. Today I visited the dealer's service department to make sure that I was not injuring the cat since it does seem to try to turn off at the same intersections that it used to. Today's service adviser printed off reasons that the system does not work and they are the same reasons that I saw long ago on the internet or in the manual. He told me to just drive the car normally and that I would get a warning from the car if something was wrong. He also assured me that there are many XT5's out here and that none has reported a start/stop problem, although he did not bother to check my car.

XT5 - Buyers Remorse

Over the years I've had very good luck and have been satisfied with several vehicles in the GM family...(Yukon, C5 Corvette, 2014 Stingray and two SRXs). My previous vehicles operationed beautifully and I was often very happy with the driving exprience. Given my good luck with GM, I decided to jump into the XT5 (FWD Premium Luxury Package). The styling is terrific and the car is comfortble. However, the instrument cluster is a recycled dash of the previous SRX but with illumination that is way too dim for day light driving. The result is a dull, lackluster display not befitting a luxury flagship vehicle. The Auto/Stop function is downright annoying and possibly even dangerous in heavy stop and go traffic. With the vehicle shutting off / stalling all the time it gives the driver a very uneasy feeling when you need sudden acceleration, such as in making sudden turn in an intersection. GM HAS to disable and or allow the driver to opt out of this feature. Now, with only two weeks of owning my XT5, the entire Cue system has gone haywire and is blacking out and turning on and off at will. Buyers remorse is an understatement. This flagship line of GM has been struggling for better market share and without a little more thought, time and real world testing, the XT5 and Cadillac for that matter will find itself lagging behind the completion and may fail all together. Seek out other vehicle options or stick with the SRX until GM sorts out the bugs and design issues.
