I just got the same CEL while on highway. Called OnStar; they emailed me this: Car smells like coolant a bit when idling, but no visible leaks, coolant temp normal, no misfire, all else ok. 2024 CT5BW w/5,500 miles. Dealer looked at car today. They are saying it's an intercooler leak...

So, I went in to talk with a local dealer about the IQ. They said I could put $500 down to reserve a spot in line for the truck. When they have the ability to order the truck, they will call me and let me know what the "dealer premium" will be on top of the MSRP. They expect the...

Where are the magnesium wheels?

It's the failure causing the shavings, not the shavings causing the failure. If you see visible shavings or good-sized chunks of metal on the drain plug, you probably have an issue.

This seems like a random occurrence in Cadillac V's, not a design flaw. It's not uncommon for ANY manufacturer to have metallurgy failures in parts that lead to catastrophic engine failures. Cams fail, valves fail, bearings fail, etc. even for Nissan and Toyota. Other cars have had...

Pro Tip: 99% of car thieves can't drive a manual.

Checked my app a couple of weeks ago, OnStar Smart Driving was OFF. Today it was ON. Maybe there was an update...

The current gear ratios make the car very useable in every gear. For most highway driving, having that big 6th gear overdrive helps keep rpms low BUT is still very useable to get through traffic. The issue is at that momentum is hard to gain after the 165 mph mark, but realistically, how...

Yes, the remote start companies do offer it. You just have to jump through some hoops when you turn it off if you intend on remote starting it: - Can You Remote Start a Manual-Transmission / Stick-Shift Vehicle? - Viper Support Center

As a follow-up, I did see this in a GM article (https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/04/heres-what-the-cadillac-v-mode-button-does-in-the-ct4-v-and-ct5-v/): Competition Driving Mode: Affects steering assistance, traction control settings, Electronic Limited Slip Differential settings...

A couple of questions for you guys... If you are in 'Track' or 'Sport' and push Traction Control twice, it goes into 'Competitive Driving Mode': Q: What exactly does 'Competitive Driving Mode' do that doesn't occur normally in the 'Track' or 'Sport" modes? Question 2: If you are in 'Track'...

I do not. It's a 6MT...

Dude, if you are an experienced racer, there is no need to go. From what I've read, Spring Mountain is a like a V track day for people that don't do a lot of track days. You just gonna be bored. If you wanna take your V on the track, just do a track day with a local car club (Porsche, Alfa...

They'll run out of tickets before you run out of money, son!

They look a little slippery. Are they slippery?
