What are the most common problems with the Cadillac DTS?
My dad’s getting a new car and asking me if I want his old Cadillac DTS. Before I take it, what are some of the problems I can expect to run into with it?

Getting a free car can sometimes be like getting a free puppy—it seems great until the required care and maintenance start making that puppy a whole lot less “free.”
That’s why it’s great that you’re asking about the most common problems with the
Cadillac DTS
before you accept your dad’s well-meaning gift. According to RepairPal, some of the most common problems drivers of the Cadillac DTS report include:- Oil leaks from the lower engine area
- Steering wheel position sensor failure
- Fluid leaks from rubber transmission cooler lines
- Fuel pump failure
- ABS control module failure
Keep in mind that some of these issues may result in a recall, and/or be covered by Cadillac’s warranty.
Making sure you’re prepared for potential problems with your new car is an excellent way to save money on unexpected repair costs. Purchasing an extended warranty is one great way to make such preparations.
