It is hard to find an SUV as regal and handsome as the XT5, which blends power and luxury in one solid package. The XT5 really is the perfect ride for parading down Main Street and showing the world that you truly are a person of power, panache, and—let’s be honest—ample means.

That said, this stately ride isn’t without issues.

The most common 2019 Cadillac XT5 problems

First, the good news—J.D. Power gives the 2019 Cadillac XT5 a solid 82/100 reliability score, meaning this luxurious beast is actually something you can depend on. That said, it isn’t perfect.

The most pressing and complained-about problems with the 2019 XT5 are body integrity issues. If you are a current 2019 XT5 driver and, upon reading the previous sentence, are girding yourself for the news that your Cadillac is going to spontaneously combust while driving down the I-5, rest easy—that won’t happen.

However, build issues have plagued the 2019 XT5 for a few years now. Persistent, loud rattling sounds have been reported, particularly on the driver’s side door and pillar, the tailgate and rear passenger seat, and the sunroof.

In particular, the sunroof has been noted to shatter unexpectedly on at least two occasions documented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Aside from giving you the shock of a lifetime, a shattered sunroof can cause serious injuries, not to mention distractions that could lead to a collision.

Another problem that poses a safety issue with the 2019 XT5 is visibility impairment due to faulty windshield wipers. On several occasions reported to the NHTSA, the XT5’s wipers only wiped three-quarters of the window, leaving water collected on the driver-side windshield and obscuring the driver’s line of sight. Besides being irritating, this could be extremely dangerous if the driver can’t see where they are going.

Another common issue with the 2019 XT5 is loud squealing, particularly when braking. This can get highly embarrassing when strutting your stuff down the avenue!

Other common problems noted with the 2019 Cadillac XT5 include:

Heated seats not working

Passenger door lock sticking

Temperature gauge not working properly

Despite these problems, there have been no formal recalls for the 2019 Cadillac XT5.

was spot on. I’m young with one rear-end collision on my record. Still, they dropped my monthly insurance rate from $468 to $250. This really saved me money.” —Jason M.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
