Cadillac CTS-V

What it says about you

Opinion

A supercharged V8 in a Cadillac saloon, which remains a magnificent idea. Fuel economy is not a topic.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

11 model years on record, 403 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 3. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2014 (differential), 2009 (cadillac cts). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

Every year

  1. 2019 nothing on record 0 complaints
  2. 2018 nothing on record 0 complaints
  3. 2017 0 recalls 21 complaints
  4. 2016 0 recalls 30 complaints
  5. 2015 1 recall 46 complaints
  6. 2014 differential 138 complaints
  7. 2010 nothing on record 1 complaints
  8. 2009 cadillac cts 167 complaints
  9. 2007 1 recall 0 complaints
  10. 2006 1 recall 0 complaints
  11. 2005 1 recall 0 complaints
