Was backing out of my parking space and the warning icons on my dash,(service brake system,stabiltrack, traction control. 4 years ago I had to replace a (yaw) that goes under the driver's seat because moonroof is leaking so I sealed the roof. The yaw controls the stabiltrack. I took it to a auto parts store to get diagnosed and it says speed sensor or possibly a wheel hub. Ive owned cars for 50 some years and never had this problem. The car only has 110,000 miles. Iam tired of problems related to this issue as I said first was yaw ,now hub for car. There must be other owners that have had this problem. This is supposed to be a luxury automobile and miles aren't high.
We purchased this vehicle four months ago and love it except for: 1)there seems to be some kind of tint on the rear view mirror which makes it very hard to see other vehicles at night, especially at dusk before some drivers turn their headlights on. We know to be very careful, but there is a very high risk for an accident. 2)exhaust fumes enter the vehicle when stopped while the engine is running, made worse by the fact that the vehicle automatically resets to let outside air in even if we push the button to recirculate the inside air. I can’t imagine that this is healthy for anyone: I’ve had to use my inhaler more often. The situation could be life-threatening for some if one had to sit in traffic for an extended period of time.
When I call on star for a diagnostic test that when I was told that if was in an accident the car air bags would not protect me like they were suppose to. I was driving to the next town over from my hometown on hwy 8o east.
When it rains water just pours downs us from the sun roof top causing the floors or carpet to smell from the water . . . Please help with direction with this problem . . Thus accused while we were driving in the rain . . .
2007 Cadillac Dts has been giving me problems with leaking water from either the moon roof or roof itself near driver's door. The floor gets soaked with water and has caused a part called a yaw under the seat to short the wiring out and had to be replaced because it controls the tail lights and tail lights and brake lights were staying stationary when driving so car behind me has no indication whether brakes are being applied. I replaced the yaw but the roof is still leaking and it could happen again and could cause the floor to rot out from repeatedly getting wet when raining. I feel this is a serious safety concern and should be fixed by Cadillac.
Hello!I recently purchased a 2007 Cadillac Dts with 71,000 miles good for this year. When purchasing this vehicle when driving water fell on my legs. I told dealer about this and the dealer sent it to a Cadillac dealer to fix the leak. So I purchased the 2007 Cadillac Dts. About 3 weeks later it rained and driver and passenger rear was soaked and the stabilizer control on dash icon saying service stabilizer. I took it back to dealer and found out taillights werent working properly. Will anyway so many trips to dealers and moonroof is still leaking and due to floors getting soaked the yaw under drivers seat has been damaged by the water and caused the stabilizer to shorten out so it will interfer with stability on wet and snow conditions with no control. I have since replaced the yaw but floor is still getting wet from rain . I beleive this is a safety hazard for sure. It should be presented to Cadillac as a serious defect. This problem started 10/14/2018.
You already show recall information on 2007 Cadillac Dts for ignition key safety problem but I would like to complain that gm tells me in their recall letters that the parts to fix this are not available. On calling them and posing the question whether gm is back-logged having to make so many parts to fix the issue or if it is that they do not have a 'fix' yet, gm said their engineers are working on it and have not determined a fix yet, therefore not known what parts they will need. It puts owners in a position where they must play russian roulette. Since both my 2007 Dts and my 2001 deville are on latest recall list I don't have a safe car to drive until gm repairs these or else I must purchase another vehicle (not gm) to have something safe to drive. I have detached each car's ignition key from key rings so that not even the fob is attached. However, appears that this merely serves to diminish the potential that in an accident the key might not be as likely to slip from 'run' position to turning the car off completely, leaving me with no power steering, power brakes and possibility airbags won't deploy. Gm has instructed its dealerships that they may not sell any vehicle in this recall until it is repaired, so the cars are, in essence, worthless until that happens and can not even be used for trade-in purposes. I suspect their competitor auto manufacturers are fully aware of the situation and would not relish any gm trade-ins that, due to liability potential, they could not sell on to anyone.
We have a severe vibration in our 2007 Cadillac Dts that starts at 55mph and also repeats itself as we come to a stop. Think this vibration is always there, but we feel it at these times. This vibration was so severe that on one occasion we were coming down a mountain side in virginia when it became so violent we barely were able to bring the car under control and bring it to a stop. This is a systemic problem with Dts general motors advised us that their engineers are very aware of this problem with Dts and are working on the problem, but have not figured out how to repair. . We have done everything they have asked . . Realignment, new pads, new rotars, four new tires . . They are quite frank that the problem exists, have several complaints, no answers, and there will be no recall as their plan is to solve the problem by attrition. They have stopped making this model as a result. Hope no one has a serious accident before this happens. Our ride and safety are both now compromised on a daily basis.
