| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic FWD |
At 30,000 miles, I have had zero, zilch, nada problems with this car. Knock wood. full 2009 Cadillac DTS review |

Northstar. Headgaskets may no longer be a problem but oil leaks can still occur. full 2006 Cadillac DTS review |

Never again GM...NEVER! I've wasted more time and money at your clueless dealers service departments. Only one ever was knowledgable...North Bay Cadillac in Roslyn, New York. If going there, ask for Marino. The Northstar engine is a piece of junk. There are thousands of web pages killing it. How GM could continue to seel such a piece of crap is head-scratching. The engine is impossible to work on. To change a water pump takes 8 hours and costs almost $1500. Access is impossible. One caveat, parts do last. But when they go, forget about it...your child is going to community college instead of Harvard. You have to drop the engine and basically take most of it apart to replace the timing chains. How does $2300 sound to you? My engine just died. Gone! History! The car looks perfect inside and out. Yet I either had the choice to sell it for parts, or to a mechanic. Did the latter...for less than $2000. This is a vehicle that I paid over $45,000 for 7 years ago. GM will never get a nickel of my money every again. full 2006 Cadillac DTS review |
