Like many other caddy owners are having problems with the twilight sensors operation. Problem being the headlamps come on too early and go off too late resulting in a dimming of the interior dash illumination. This causes the driver not to be able to determine vehicle speed...especially if its still bright enough out for sun glasses to be used. My 2007 dts and others. See this link also http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/Cadillac-forum/t-92975.html I had my car to the garage just today and they did nothing to fix this safety issue. Not going to argue with them any more.... Something must be done to help us. The rental dts I had while my car was in "repair" did not have the same problem yet they said my car twilight was "ok". Thanks
My battery constantly goes dead, everytime it rains, snows or even gets cold. I brought a brand new battery and a brand new alternator and it still does the same thing. The air-bag message keeps coming up along with every electrical component there is on this car. I have taken it to dealerships to get diagnostics and they never find anything wrong. This is not safe for my kids to ride in please advise. *tr
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.

Hello!I recently purchased a 2007 Cadillac dts with 71,000 miles good for this year.when purchasing this vehicle when driving water fell on my legs.I told dealer about this and the dealer sent it to a Cadillac dealer to fix the leak.so I purchased the 2007 Cadillac dts.about 3 weeks later it rained and driver and passenger rear was soaked and the stabilizer control on dash icon saying service stabilizer.I took it back to dealer and found out taillights werent working properly.will anyway so many trips to dealers and moonroof is still leaking and due to floors getting soaked the yaw under drivers seat has been damaged by the water and caused the stabilizer to shorten out so it will interfer with stability on wet and snow conditions with no control.I have since replaced the yaw but floor is
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Cadillac dts. The contact stated that the rear window brake light had fractured. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for repairs, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact to call NHTSA. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 69,193.
The left headlamp assembly had to be replaced due to corrosion. Approximately a month later the right headlamp had to be replaced for the same reason. I have subsequently have learned that Cadillac put out a bulletin, document id #08014a, that addresses the problem with corrosion in the headlights. If the headlights failed out at night, in the rain, clearly it is a safety issue.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Cadillac dts. The contact received a notification for NHTSA campaign number: 14v355000 (electrical system). However, the part needed to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. In addition, when shifting into reverse, the vehicle moved forward. The contact stated that the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and, after parking, all the exterior lights illuminated independently. The contact was unable to insert the key in the ignition switch to turn the lights off. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Cadillac dts. The contact stated that while driving 4 MPH she applied the brakes when the brake pedal abnormally traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle did not respond and eventually coasted to a stop independently. The contact inspected the brake reservoir and determined that there was no brake fluid. The contact added brake fluid and restarted the vehicle. The failure recurred several minutes after the contact resumed driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the two front brake lines and the one brake line in the rear of the vehicle exhibited severe corrosion. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileage was 54,500.
Ref.odi number 10289768 unexplained acceleration. Upon further study I believe the problem originated in the electrical system in the engine control module ( ECM). Has a solution to this problem been presented? *tr
Factory chrome wheels are rusty on inside of wheel and chrome coating is off on all 4 wheels,could be safety issue if they rust through metal.these are factory wheels and I noticed when I purchased vehicle in september of 2018.
