Ah the 2013 XTS my 4th and probably my last Cadillac. 148,000 miles of pure interstate travel. Should last a long time right? WRONG! All 4 wheel bearings replaced, cue touch screen won’t work and now a shutter during normal acceleration. Took it into the Cadillac dealer for repair. $1300 later they said it was “better” so what was the 1300 for? An oil change, transmission fluid flush, and another wheel bearing that they said was not actually bad but something on the axle was bad. Drove it off and still had the transmission shutter. Which from the forums looks like a module adjustment or a torque converter replacement. So now I have 1300 plus another 1400 to fix the cue and then who knows, 2000 for a torque converter? Look up the KBB and see the trade in value is estimated at $6 to $8000. Take all the repairs needed it the $68,000 sticker price is now down to effectively zero. Oh yeah none of the dealers want to touch it to repair. What’s it worth as SCRAP.

 

I have a 2013 XTS 133K Miles started getting shudder on shifts had fluid changed no better ordered a GM torque converter from Rock Auto Parts for $267.00 have a mechanic who changed it for me for for $400.00 runs and shifts like brand new . The converter from Rock is a GM part that comes in a GM box with a GM warranty

 

that is great. Took mine to the dealership and 4200 later mine is good. You win!
