Some Cadillac DTS owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues, often linked to battery-related problems. These issues can stem from loose battery terminals that require tightening to ensure a secure connection. Additionally, a weak battery can hinder the necessary voltage for starting the engine, making it crucial for owners to check battery voltage prior to starting. Some owners also note that problems with the starter motor, such as weakness or failure, can contribute to these starting difficulties, necessitating attention to the starter solenoid. Furthermore, in cold weather, moisture can cause the starter motor to freeze or become stuck, complicating the engagement of the starter gear. By addressing these common battery, terminal, and starter motor issues, owners may resolve their Cadillac DTS's intermittent starting problems without resorting to extensive repairs.
