I have a 2016 base with the 3.6, awd and the 8l45 transmission. I picked it up off a lease with 59K on the odometer. It didn’t take long for me to notice the shudder and I had to do some homework before I knew what it was. There’s a class action lawsuit over the transmission and a few TSB’s - the last which is flushing and changing the fluid to the “correct type fluid” - all done on GM’s dime. I had mine serviced and got about 7,000 miles and felt the shudder beginning again so I brought it back. This time they swapped the torque converter and fluid again. I’m over 20K daily driving and that problem is a thing of the past. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Next: the air conditioning. Summer 2020 in July - I come out of work in Manhattan to zero functioning air conditioning. I drove through the Battery tunnel with the commuter busses in traffic. That sucked. Nothing got it to blow cold until I got to Staten Island at home and disconnected my ground on my battery. I did a “hard reset” - everything worked perfect immediately after. But the issue kept happening an I noticed that the temperature gauge on the dash was bottomed to the lowest temperature and the electric cooling fans were on full blast. Every time I did a reset it fixed it but it would happen again at least 3 times a week. All of the Cadillac forums had people saying they went to the dealership and had to get the air conditioning fixed. I wasn’t satisfied because with the reboot it still worked. So I did more homework. As it turns out - the 3.6 (LGX) is also installed in the same year(s) Camaros. The difference is most Cadillac owners probably don’t even open their hoods, nonetheless work on their cars. They bring the car to the dealership. Camaro owners do tend to “play with their cars” I’m a diehard hotrodder! I have big block toys, GM toys, Mopar toys and I like fixing things. So I went to a Camaro forum and there it was in print. The answers to the air conditioning problem. With the LGX 3.6 engine. The thermostat is the problem. If you start your vehicle and drive off and the engine doesn’t get up to temperature within a time threshold your BCM and ECM will think the engine is low on coolant and put the vehicle into a default limp mode. It shuts off the air conditioning and runs the fans. Now for more fun. The thermostat is in between bank 1 & 2 at the bottom of the V , under the intake manifold so it’s a costly repair not recommended for a novice. I have yet to take the time to do the job myself but for the meantime. I run the vehicle with the remote start twice before I go anywhere - EVERY-TIME. I’ve been doing so for almost 2 years and I never have a problem. Sorry for the long winded comment but I hope it helps someone…

I have cadillac 18 cts , had noise from the transmission, took in to the dealer, they changed transmission fluid which solved that problem, no other issues only have over 9,000 miles, a very good car

Yes we had this problem with our 2010 Acura Tl. The problem with the AC only happens after an hour or more driving, short trips it works fine.The dealership couldn't find the problem so they changed the blend motor Actuator, after another 6 months the problem came back and they changed the blower motor. Then four months later I same problem I took it back, cuss them out to get it fixed and the finally found the evaporator coil freezing up and replaced it, no more issues now after one year, AC works great

My family gave my grandpa a XTS, and it has the same air conditioning problem, for 8 years, it just never stoped, I thought it was the problem that the car was produced in china so it would have these issue, but according to you, it seems like that’s also the case within states, anyway, even when it’s working, the air isn’t cool enough, and in where I’m from summer can be as hot as Miami, lucky that my grandpa is 70 years old and don’t really need that much cool air, but still the car itself is great, 8 years with very little issue compare to a bmw, and i am now considering to buy a used ct6 as my first car.

I have had three Cadillac CT6's. 2 2017's each of which never made it to 4000 miles before I got rid of them. Build quality, electrical glitches and the gawdawful 8 speed transmission contributed to the worse new car ownership ever. My 2019 is the identical car with a better 10 speed transmission, which shifts like a normal car. This is an entry level luxury car and cheaply built. In spite of all this, it's a nice looking sedan but loaded with issues that absolutely require bumper to bumper warranty protection.

@bill_4888 2 жыл бұрын

@@MJ-hg1mk In order to price this model in the 45-85K range, depending on options, the build quality is a cost saving chevrolet standard with a more appealing design, sound proofing and options/accessory array. They had to cut corners to keep it in the affordable entry level luxury range. The CT6 is certainly more affordable than BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc models so the build quality is much lower to keep it competitive. It's a nice looking car, but seriously, it can't compare with the brands former days.

@@SuperBooboo02 Even the manufacturer agreed and took them back for auction and replaced them with a 2019. The 2019's transmission is normal, though the car has had electrical glitches . . . main wiring harness has been replaced twice. Electrical connections throughout the vehicle will continue to be a challenge. Build quality on one of the 2017's was so bad that the front fender and door clearance at the factory were out of alignment and to be rebuilt at a certifiied auto body shop..... took several weeks. Maybe it was my bad luck to end up with two turds. Cheaply made cars with a wonderful glossy lifestyle magazine and fancy dealerships.

I have found it necessary to put the AC on "recirculat" when the outside temp is above 100. My Toyota does this automatically but my 18 CT6 doesn't do it automatically and it is normally in "fresh air" unless you manually put it in recirculat. I am in TX and it has been over 100 for weeks.

I own a 2014 cts. Had it for several years. It's at 175k brought at 27k. Used it for various reasons such as long distance out of town trips, 1 year for deliveries, race, and last couple years as my daily driver. It has transmission shurdder and jerks into Drive gear from a cold start. Its been this way for many years but the car drives well besides that. I haven't had any major issues. So i assume these issues may seem alarming but is no harm and the car could last you for many years. Like mines has. _If i could go back i wouldn't used it for deliveries or race, that beats the car up and make for earlier maintenance let alone the unessairy miles._ *Else this car is a 10/10 you get your* money worth.

@blessethishe thanks for the 411. I had a 2014 cts and it ran like a champ with no issues at all, but the mileage was low when I traded it in. 52k for my ct6. The dealer fixed my ct6. Almost anyway. It 85% better than it was. They said all 8 speed transmissions made by gm is that way. They showed me the bulletin.

It depends on year and model of GM vehicle. I had a 2011 Camaro LS (V6) for ten years. Only had to replace the alternator and the battery. Had AC Delco rotors & pads installed and went through two sets of tires. Other than that no real problems with it. I've also owned a 2004 Cavalier coupe, no problems with that car either. The CT6 is really nice but hearing about these issues will probably keep me from buying one. What do you guys think of the 2016 CTS 3.6L? Any thoughts? It's smaller than the CT6 but same or similar engine.
