It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2018 Cadillac XTS transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

2018 Cadillac XTS Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Cadillac? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Cadillac tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your XTS towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my XTS's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Cadillac XTS’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Cadillac, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Cadillac XTS leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Cadillac XTS can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your XTS ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
