Common Cadillac Problems

A variety of Cadillac models have experienced ongoing defects over the years:

  • Cadillac Deville
  • Cadillac Seville
  • Cadillac CTS
  • Cadillac DTS
  • Cadillac Escalade

Some of the most common problems involve engines that burn excessive oil, defective intake and exhaust manifolds, transmission leaks, transmission failures, powertrain malfunctions, brake system failures, and exhaust and emissions problems. It is worth noting that the defect must have a significant impact on the vehicle’s performance, safety, or value for you to have a valid California lemon law claim. In addition, two or more repair attempts for the same defect must have been made and/or the vehicle must have been out of service for 30 days or more.

Cadillac Recalls

Despite being marketed as a luxury brand, a variety of Cadillac models have been subjected to recalls over the years:

  • In September 2019, GM announced the recall of nearly 3.5 million trucks and sports utility vehicles including certain model year 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalades in connection with a defect that makes braking more difficult. Oil leaks in the vacuum assist pump can lead to sludge build-up that impedes the brake mechanism. Dealers were instructed to recalibrate the vehicle’s brake module control, allowing it to better utilize its hydraulic brake boost assist function.
  • In March 2019, GM announced the recall of certain model year 2019 Cadillac CT6 vehicles due to defects in the rotating steering wheel that prevent the turn signals from automatically stopping. This could mislead other drivers and pedestrians, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. Cadillac dealers were instructed to replace the turn signal switch at no charge.
  • In February 2019, GM announced the recall of certain model year 2016-2017 Cadillac CTS and 2017 Cadillac ATS vehicles due to power steering defects. The electronic power steering assist system may fail to operate, which could require more effort to steer the vehicle, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. GM instructed dealers to replace the power steering gear assembly, free of charge.
  • In September 2018, more than 50,000 model year 2014-2016 Cadillac CTS vehicles were recalled because of defective front-seat heaters. An overheating element may smoke or melt, leading to an auto fire. Dealers were instructed to adjust the computer that manages the seat heaters.
  • In July 2017, GM recalled over 40,000 model year 2015-2106 Cadillac Escalade vehicles due to a defect in software for the airbag sensing and diagnostic module. The glitch could prevent deployment of the airbags and seat belt pretensioners in an accident, increasing the risk of injury. Dealers were instructed to perform the necessary update to the software.
