I BOUGHT A USED 2006 DTS CADILLAC FROM A DEALER IN OH. BROUGHT IT HOME AND HAD MY MECHANIC GO THRU IT. HE SHOWED ME AN OIL LEAK AND SAID THE OIL PAN GASKET HAD BEEN REPAIRED. MY MECHANIC SAID HE WOULD NOT FIX THE LEAK BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MUCH INVOLVED. I HAVE SINCE SEEN THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE. SHOULD BE A RECALL. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED. ALSO FOUND OUT THERE WERE 4 OTHER RECALLS ON THIS CAR. CADILLAC SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS OIL LEAK. MILEAGE IS 81,000

I OWN A 2006 CADILLAC DTS WHICH I BOUGHT AT AN AUCTION WITH 138,000 MILES. WELL MAINTAINED AND ZERO OBD2 CODES. IT RAN GREAT BUT HAD A SMALL OIL LEAK WHICH HAS PROGRESSED TO THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE OF THE PASSENGER ENGINE BEING WET WITH OIL. SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM EITHER THE CRANKCASE OR OIL PAN GASKET WHICH ARE BOTH REQUIRED TO PULL THE ENGINE TO REPAIR, EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND THE AVERAGE PERSON CANNOT AFFORD THESE REPAIRS. HORRIBLE DESIGN FOR SUCH A DIFFICULT ENGINE TO WORK ON. OTHER THEN THAT THE CAR RUNS EXTREMELY WELL, NO OTHER PROBLEMS AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED BY ME AND PREVIOUS OWNER. I LOVE THE CAR BUT IF I HAVE TO PAY OVER $2K FOR THESE KIND OF REPAIRS THAT I CANNOT DO MYSELF THEN I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER GM CAR. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON BOTH THE CRANKCASE AND OIL PAN AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THESE ISSUES. OIL SHOULD NOT LEAK FROM A PARKED CAR NOT RUNNING. DANGEROUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND OTHER DRIVERS. NO WONDER WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENVIRONMENT, ALL GM CARES ABOUT IS THE MONEY THEY WILL HAVE TO PUT OUT. BUT THIS IS THE REASON THEY'RE SALES HAVE DECLINED AND HAD TO STOP MAKING DEVILLED, NOBODY BUYS THEM BECAUSE GM WON'T RECALL THESE ISSUES. DUH GM ALMOST WENT OUT OF BUSINESS YRS AGO FROM STUFF LIKE THIS, THEY DON'T CARE. SO WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY A GM VEHICLE? THIS WILL BE MY LAST IS THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RECALLED AS THE LABOR IS THE ONLY REASON CADILLACS ARE EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR, PARTS ARE REASONABLE.

ON OCT,30,2017 I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WITH IT IDLING. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED REGISTERING "HOT". THE DASH BOARD SAID IT WAS RUNNING HOT. THE THERMOSTAT HAND HAD MOVED TO THE RED POINT . I CUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND STARTED BACK UP AND DROVE IT TO CREST DEALERSHIP . AT THIS POINT THE HAND OR NEEDLE HAD GONE BACK TO NORMAL LEVEL. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON INFORMED US THAT IT COULD BE THE GASKET. WE LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM AND WAS TOLD 2 DAYS LATER THAT IT WAS INDEED THE GASKET GOING OUT AND WOULD COST AROUND $6300.00 TO FIX. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CAR IS SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS, OIL CHANGES, WINTERIZED BELTS CHECKED,ETC. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE AND HAD IT FIXED. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 45,000 ON IT. THIS ENGINE HAS GIVEN MORE TROUBLE AND I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY. I FEEL THAT THE ENGINE, WHICH IS A NORTHSTAR ENGINE AND IS A "LEMON" AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON GETTING THIS CAR FIXED AND I KEEP IT UP TO DATE ON THE MAINTENANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE TAKE TO THE TIME TO CONTACT CREST CADILLAC IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE FOR MY RECORDS.
