Cadillac Problems
Power Window Regulators may Fail
One or more of the power window regulators (one in each door) may fail causing the window to fall into the door and not roll up.
Oil Leak From Lower Engine Area
The engine may develop an oil leak from the lower crankcase portion of the engine block. Our technicians tell us that the engine must be removed from the vehicle to properly repair this oil leak.
Improper HVAC Temperature and/or Air Delivery Due to Failed Mode Door Actuator
One or more heater & AC (HVAC) temperature and/or air delivery mode door actuator may fail, resulting in improper temperature or air delivery. If this occurs, fault code(s) should be stored in the HVAC control module which should assist in diagnoses.
Power Window Regulators May Fail and Cause the Window to Fall Into Door
One or more of the power window regulators (one in each door) may fail causing the window to fall into the door and not roll up.
Failure of Front Turn Signal and DRL Bulbs
The front turn signal and and daytime running light bulbs are prone to premature failure. Our technicians tell us that these bulbs can be very difficult to replace.
Cadillac Recalls (Recent)
Right Roof-Rail Airbag May Not Function as Expected
The airbag system is programmed to turn off the right side roof-rail airbag if the front passenger seat is not occupied. As a result, a right rear seat passenger may not be protected in the event of certain frontal or side crashes. Dealers will reprogram the airbag control module to correct this concern. This recall is scheduled to begin on June 17, 2011. The General Motors recall number is 11162.
Cadillac SRXPotential Loss of Braking Ability
The retaining nut for the brake booster pushrod at the brake pedal may not have been tightened correctly during vehicle assembly. The nut could loosen and allow the pushrod to separate from the brake pedal. This would result in loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the pushrod retention nut and tighten it to the correct specification if necessary. The General Motors recall number is 11318.
Cadillac CTSThe Shift Cable May Become Disengaged from Its Transmission Mounting Bracket
The transmission shift cable may have been improperly installed and could come out of its supporting bracket on the transmission. If this were to occur, the transmission may not go into gear properly, which could result in unexpected vehicle motion, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the shift cable for proper routing and that it is properly seated in the transmission cable bracket. The General Motors recall number is 11348.
Cadillac SRXElectronic Climate Control May Not Function Correctly
The HVAC system may stop functioning due to a software issue in the climate control module. System failure would reduce the driver's ability to command the defrost function. This can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. To correct the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic control module for the HVAC. The recall is expected to begin by March 11, 2011. The General Motors recall number is 11057.
Cadillac SRXPotential Loss of Steering Ability
The intermediate steering shaft attaching bolts may not have been tightened to the proper specification. This could allow the steering shaft to separate. The driver could experience a loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and ensure the intermediate steering shaft bolts are tightened to the proper specification. This recall is expected to begin on July 13, 2011. The General Motors recall number is 11191.

Can't say its the best car I've ever had because I've had my Jeep Wrangler for 18 years now and want to be buried in it when I go. But, this Cadillac is the sweetest vehicle, I feel rich, safe, and happy when driving this living room down the highway.
I think my parents got jealous of my luxury car and they went through a Lexus, and BMW, and neither really compared to the comfort, power, and elegance of this car.
This is the car that you want if you take long trips, or if you like driving in the city at low speeds. This is by no means a sports car and should be driven by people who aren't erratic drivers.
Extreme comfort in this car. The buttons and controls are all easy to deal with.
It has some known issues that are basically universal to this engine...it is not terribly easy to work on because of limited space, but is much easier than your German luxury cars.
All in all, I love this car, and if you can find a good one, get it.
i've got 400,000 km on this and still can't imagine ever getting rid of this. some sensors are going now in a domino effect, but still it's the best car ever. the only rust is the back bumper, but since this is canada it's very good. i use crown rust control every year. it's hard to find ww tires for this but pep boys had good tires in wwall in the proper size. can't say enuf about this fabulous car. may keep it forever. while i have a fla. zip code i live in canada most of the time
