What are some known issues with the Cadillac XT4?
Being a more recent addition to the Cadillac lineup, there’s very few issues when compared to other models. But we’ll go over those that are present. These issues are persistent check engine lights, transmission issues, and electrical problems. Some XT4s were even recalled for a variety of issues. With all of that in mind, Kelley Blue Book has stated that the XT4 has “good value for drivers who prioritize practicality over performance.” Making it a worthwhile purchase.
Taking a deeper look into the issues will show what you can look out for when behind the wheel of an XT4. The first one we’ll look at is the check engine light. Being that this is a more general issue for things that we can’t see unless being serviced, there’s a few things that drivers have reported. These range from faulty camshaft positions, to fuel systems, and engine computers. This can impact the engine’s power output.
Does the Cadillac XT4 Have Any Transmission Issues?
The next problem is with the transmission. If you’re familiar with vehicles, you’ll know that this has plagued every model at some point. For the XT4 it manifests in the form of power loss, to stalls, and when operating the vehicle, this is less than ideal, and can be dangerous in certain situations.
The electrical issues that the XT4 have seen aren’t as detrimental as some of the others that we’ve gone over, but it certainly is annoying. Some owners have reported that they’ve experienced trouble with the liftgate being unresponsive, to the remote start not doing what it’s supposed to. While this won’t impact your driving, it will take away from the overall feel of the vehicle.
Some of the recalls that were seen on the XT4 aren't unique to the model and were on other GM models, but we’ll mention them for the sake of transparency. These were rearview camera failures, seat belt retractor problems, tire manufacturing defects, start and stop accumulator defects, and electronic brake boost system problems.
