problem #2

XTS 6-cyl

  • 1,000 miles
Driving on interstate when engine quit running. Was able to get car to shoulder of the road. After a couple of minutes, car started and ran fine. After it started, I immediately contacted onstar; they ran a diagnosis on vehicle and said they found no problems. I later took car to dealer and reported this stall. Dealer said everything checked O.K.

problem #1

May 292014

XTS

  • 700 miles
At 5:15am, 5/29/14, my Xts while parked in my residence driveway spontaneously caught fire. The fire emanated from the engine compartment and destroyed the entire front 1/2 of the vehicle. North farmingdale fd responded and extinguished the fire. No injuries were caused. The nassau county pd and nassau fire marshalls office also responded and after a visual and photo examination determined that the fire started in the area of the brake booster pump. Cadillac had issued a recall for this vehicle type on 4/12/14 with the warning that a defect in the brake booster pump could cause a fire and in my case this is exactly what occurred. The oil spillage and vehicle debris also caused extensive damage to the driveway resulting in a complete replacement of the driveway.
