I’ve had my 2017 XT5 AWD for about 10 months now with no problems. Sorry you had these issues. Sounds to me that the oil filter was not screwed on tight enough after the last oil change. As far as the strut problem, most dealers would have replaced only the defective one. At least your dealer did the right thing by replacing both of them.

@@Your-Self It is doubtful you had a bad gasket on the filter. Probably an incompetent mechanic failed to remove the gasket from the prior filter which sometimes sticks to the engine base. When two gaskets are in place, you always wind up with a leak. And the bad struts were proably due to you ignoring the problem of fluid too long. With an active electromagnetic strut, a superior sort of strut, it is possible to have a fluid leak at a fitting that conventional struts do not have.

I was surprised to find your video because I thought perhaps the problems might pertain only to my vehicle. Well, you can imagine how frustrated I was after viewing your video. I had the issue's you explained exactly. I have a 17' vehicle and it feels I've been in and out of the dealership at least every two months. I love the car for its practicality but I'm tired of seeing a 3.5 year old car having so many issues; compared to my wife's Hyundai 2013 which has had no major issues except for one recall. I'm now trading my Cadi reluctantly for another vehicle. I just can't take anymore frustration that this Cadi has given me. I also just returned from the dealership after a two day attempt to fix a "Steering Assist is Reduced..." error message and my air conditioning went out as well. Luckily, I had some extended warranty and frustratingly had to pay a 50 dollar deductible. I'm fed-up and this was my last straw.

It's not fair to say this vehicle is bad and give it a thumbs down. The oil filter issue is a minor one that has nothing to do with the vehicle qualty. It was the dealership worker who is not a mechanic installed it incorrectly. However the technician who failed to diagnose that grinding noise should be fired. Replacing that axle nut is ridiculous, I would not trust that dealership any longer and would find another one for service. No vehicle is perfect, so if the strut replacement fixed the problem then that's great. Sometimes these things do happen unfortunately, but I wouldn't condem that vehicle just yet. I Have a 2021 and no problems so far, it's been great and I enjoy driving it. Good luck.

And this is their premium brand. If they value their customers and their brand, they had better start treating the brand better than say a Chevy. If they keep this up, Cadillac will end up on the retired nameplate list too. Need to get rid of mine before the warranty runs out. Lexus next? Most likely..despite the grill.

When it rains a good bit and water splashes under the car have you noticed your xt5 smoking due to the hot exhaust ? I've observed the 2.0 xt5 has a cover plate engine splash guard but the V6 xt5 versions do not . So I actually thought mine was missing and tried to order one through Cadillac and they didn't even know that GM does not make them for the V6 version. I think it would be an important part to have especially when it rains a lot and you have to hit puddles you can't swerve around. I've hit up GM to ask them why didn't they have a engine splash guard designs for the V6 and they couldn't answer my question

It’s a lemon. Non of our Cadillacs have had these sorts of issue. Oh and the oil spill story was a bullish!z story they gave ya. There’s no gasket you add to it. The oil filter has a gasket built in. Likely technician literally did not tighten more than hand slightly tight and after road vibration and built up oil pressure it came loose. The struts could be directly related to coupling tires after driving in rough road condition/ bad chassis from a crash/ rough turns from turning while foot on gas and or a combination of all. But coupled tires would cause this alone. 6 years of previous dealership service department experience. Worst thing I think I’ve seen was a 60+ year old lady whom was taking care of daughters house and car while she was out of country. The poor older lady said she saw a jar light come on in dashboard before starting car. She assumed car wanted water popped the hood, opened oil cap which had a jar picture and proceeded to fill it with water from water hose Car had catastrophic engine failure. I covered the repair not with any warranty or manufacture anything. Coverage was only possible through her daughters car insurance under comprehensive coverage. Morale of the story there is always a perfectly good explanation just takes time to get there. FYI lady’s mom kept the ordeal to her self until we found water in engine block

And the diagnosis is a JOKE!! They say it's the oil pan leaking. Not the gasket. Just the oil pan. Ok the car has less than 10k miles and it's not been off-roading so pretty sure the oil pan is not cracked. GM techs are about as bad or worse than the cars themselves.

With Cadillac quality these days? What days did Cadillac ever make a quality product? That's why they're mostly least and then when returned sent straight to the buy here pay here " We'll finance anyone" Dealerships. Across their entire lineup they have some of the worst reliability histories as reflected in their mediocre resale values. That's why if you see one of these on the road that's more than 4 years old there's a good chance the driver has long fake fingernails and multiple baby daddys

My in-laws want to GIVE me their 2018 XT5 with only 10K miles on it...FREE... and between this video and Scotty Kilmer hating Cadillac so much, I think I may actually pass on it. :-(

My car has over 30K now, and I haven't had any major problems with it since this video. However, the Start/Stop feature is very annoying and can not be disabled. Every time I stop at the intersection the engine stops, the AC stops cooling and just blows regular air (in Florida sun), and when the engine restarts, it gives a nice jolt to the car... not a very smooth transition for a luxury vehicle. But if you can get this car for free, without any strings attached, it's not bad.

@@Your-Self Thanks...that makes me feel a little better. I'm in AZ so I'm with you brother!! LOL. I have a fix for you... but buddy is a cop and his undercover patrol car is a Ford Explorer... (same deal, no button to temporarily disable the stop / start ). He put a $5 jump wire on it and that was all it took, essentially bypassing it, now it never ever shuts off now. I'm planning to do that myself, (sure it would void the warranty but as you and I know... the goons at the dealership will never even notice). BTW, after warranty expires, I'll never ever go to a dealer after that. I'm a huge fan of Scotty Kilmer on KZitem, you should check him out. Great, honest car advice. Thanks again for posting. Once I figure out the jump to shut off the auto start/stop, I'll email you.

It be the shop saying it stuff I had a Hummer and they would break stuff to make me come back I would go in for a oil change a 2 hrs later I ask what the hood up is they were busy but some of the people came after me was long gone they would say I had a leak and when I tell them I do have one before I came and tell them to wrap up that oil change he came back with oh it was just residue 🙄🙄🙄 I do my own oil changes and maintenance haven’t done brakes yet but my friend Sasha will show me she’s a diesel mechanic and has her own shop in Houston and New Orleans I love working on my cars I’m gonna help my son-in-law change out his alternator on his Ram 1500 Truck I know how to do it but I’m gonna just hand him the tools so it’s not always the Car brand in my experience at the shop🤨

This is so dumb! Do you think Cadillac makes the struts and oil filter? No, it’s made by the same part companies that supply every other luxury automaker. Sometimes things break, that just happens, it’s not Cadillacs fault! Get an Audi or a BMW and get ready for even worse problem eg fuel pumps, electrics etc
@Your-Self

Cadillac obviously is not making struts... they don't make anything. GM finds the cheapest parts, uses underpaid workers to assemble it without quality control, slaps the Cadillac label on this junk, and sells it for a top dollar to keep the shareholders happy. Please don't tell me that this is ok, and we all have to bend over and take it. Audi and BMW are not any better, so Lexus maybe is the way to go.

LOL, maybe I don't know all the little details about the whole auto industry, but neither do you! However, I've owned three Cadillacs in the past 10 years, and developed a pretty strong opinion about the brand... and it's not stellar. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting.
