2007 CADILLAC DTS Recalls, Complaints & Safety

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.

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.

Vehicle's brakes stopped working. Could push the brake pedal to the floor without almost no effect. I removed the driver's side front wheel and discovered the brake line was almost completely severed and fluid had sprayed out all over the wheel well. Not sure if this was a defect in design or someone had intentionally cut the line.

The contact owns a 2007 Cadillac DTS equipped with General Tires, Tire Line: Exclaim HPX A/S (Alpha Sierra), Tire Size: 235/55/R17, DOT Number: A37AWBXP3317. The tire was a replacement tire. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the front passenger’s side tire experienced a blowout as a result the vehicle landed in a ditch. The contact stated that the sidewall was separated; however, the tread belt was intact. The contact stated that he changed the tire and was able to drive on the spare tire. The tire was not taken for inspection. The contact stated that he called the tire store and was advised to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the tire was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21T001000 (Tires) as the DOT number was out of scope. The approximate tire failure mileage was 10,000. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 140,000.

Complaint: pertaining to 2007 Cadillac DTS as mentioned above.i purchased this used car with 70,000 miles in 2018.when purchased the first problem was stabiltrack light came on so took it back to dealer to be fixed under dealers 90 day warranty plus brake lights weren't functioning properly.perhaps a year later I had a yaw replaced that controls the stabiltrack.ive been having this stabiltrack since vehicle was purchased as of 05/15/2022 this problem has occurred again and is expensive repair.i feel this is a safety issue because it controls steering in inclimate weather conditions.

Reference: to a previous report.Photo's of problem messages.

The 2007 Cadillac DTS has heated/air-conditioned front seats. They went out. Looking on the Cadillac users' website it seems to be a common problem. The connectors burn out, even though they are connected to a 30 amp fuse. Having an electrical system short out under the passenger seat can be life threatening. Request a recall on the faulty connection box under the passenger seat. The heated rear seat is fine.

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 I BOUGHT THE CAR THE OWNER TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING WAS BAD AND THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT. THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GET INSPECTED SO I COULD GET IT TITLED, IT FAILED THE INSPECTION DUE TO A LEAK IN THE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE LINE, THE REAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT BEING BROKE, THE TOP MOTOR MOUNT FAILING AND BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK WHEEL BEARINGS BEING WORN. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE OWNER GOT IN MY FACE AND SHOVED ME MAKING ME LEAVE.

THE FRONT HEATED/COOLED SEATS WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE DRIVING, SINCE JANUARY 2017. TWO WEEKS AGO THEY STOPPED ALTOGETHER. UPON INVESTIGATION I HAD TO REMOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT IN ORDER TO INSPECT THE CONTROL MODULE. I FOUND TWO WIRES BURNED AND THE LARGE PLUG STUCK IN THE CONTROL MODULE PIN AREA. I'M WAITING ON SOME PARTS BEFORE I CAN PROCEED WITH THE POSSIBLE REPAIR. THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO HAVE GM REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. IT IS DEFINITELY A FIRE HAZARD. THE NUMBER ON THE CONTROL MODULE IS 100-1325-F. THERE MAY BE ANOTHER SPECIFIC NUMBER BUT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ON THE INTERNET.

NOT A COMPLAINT BUT A CLARIFICATION REGARDING COMPLAINT NUMBER 10946916. I HAD OVER HEATING ON MY BRAKES DOWN A LONG DOWNHILL RUN. IN DRIVE (D) THE CADILLAC FREEWHEELS AND DOES NOT ENGINE BRAKE, REQUIRING CONSTANT USE OF BRAKES. THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER SAID I COULD NOT ENGINE BRAKE IN MY DTS. THAT RESULTED IN THE OVERHEATING THE FRONT BRAKE DISKS. BUT AFTER CONTACTING CADILLAC CORPORATE THEY INFORMED ME I COULD USE D3 AND D2 TO ENGINE BRAKE. THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE OVERHEATING OF MY FRONT BRAKE DISKS. THE FRONT DISKS SHOULD STILL HAVE ABSORBED THE HEAT WITHOUT OVERHEATING BUT AT LEAST NOW I CAN GO DOWN THAT STRETCH WITHOUT CONCERN.

WE HAVE AN APPROXIMATELY 14 MILES DOWNHILL RUN FROM THE SKI SLOPE TO I-95. THE DTS DOES NOT COMPRESSION BRAKE. CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT HOLD A DOWNHILL SPEED. SO I AM ON THE BRAKES MOST OF THE WAY DOWN. HALFWAY DOWN THE HILL THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY I AM GUESSING THE FRONT BRAKES ARE WARPED FROM THE CONSTANT USE. I MAKE IT DOWN THE HILL AND DRIVE ONTO I-95S. AFTER 30 OR SO MILES THE BRAKES COOL AND NO MORE VIBRATION. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. I ASKED THE CADILLAC DEALER HOW TO PUT IT INTO COMPRESSION BRAKING AND THEY SAID I CANNOT DO THAT. THERE HAS TO BE A FIX OR A RECALL ON THAT. IT IS A CADILLAC WHICH RETAILS FOR 65K PLUS WHEN NEW. THE FRONT DISK BRAKES SHOULD NOT OVERHEAT AND START TO WARP. NORMAL SPEED WAS THE SPEED LIMIT BUT WITHOUT COMPRESSION BRAKING THE CADILLAC DTS ACCELERATES RAPIDLY AND CONSTANT BRAKE USE IS NEEDED TO KEEP IT TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I ONLY HAVE 38K ON THE 2007 CADILLAC DTS. IT IS THE HIGH PERFORMANCE FULL UP LUXURY MODEL.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL LEAKS AND USAGE.PARKED AND DRIVING.I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A VERY TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH THE NORTHSTAR ENGINE BUT I DONT BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE SO.THE ESTIMATED COST TO ATTEMPT A FIX RUNS UP INTO THE $1000S OF DOLLARS .I THINK THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD BE AT MINIMUM PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT!
