Both headlights on the vehicle have had to be replaced very recently (spring/summer) following a cold and harsh winter. We believe that the problem identified with the srx models extends to the cts and perhaps other cadillac models given the number on the street with a single headlight; however, cadillac has denied our claim. The cost of repair of both headlights exceeded $600.

While driving heard clanking under the car for about 2 blocks then stoped. Took it to the dealer and found out 2 bolts had backed out of the drive shaft and one had sheared. Had the exact same problem with a 2011 cts. I had purchased a warranty when I bought the car in 2018, car was repaired. I did notify cadillac. Right front headlight has moisture. Understand cadillac used inferior seals previously. Will need to replace. Light cost approximately $250.00.

I purchased a new 2012 cadillac cts in january, 2012. The car has been garage kept since new and has only 27,000 miles. Both headlamps recently began accumulating heavy condensation causing very dim lighting at night. This hazardous condition is clearly a manufacturing defect and not caused by excessive use of the vehicle nor exposure to the elements.
