Problems:
Timing chain issues
The LLT V6 engine in the 2010 Cadillac CTS is known for timing chain stretch, which can lead to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Oil consumption
Owners have reported higher than normal oil consumption, which may require frequent oil top-ups and could indicate underlying issues such as worn piston rings or valve seals.
Carbon build-up
The SIDI (Spark Ignition Direct Injection) system can lead to carbon build-up on the intake valves, which can cause rough idling, misfires, and reduced performance.
Coolant leaks
Some 2010 Cadillac CTS models with the LLT engine have experienced coolant leaks from the water pump or other cooling system components, leading to overheating issues.
Fuel injector problems
Direct injection engines like the LLT can experience clogged or faulty fuel injectors, leading to poor fuel economy and engine misfires.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
This sensor can fail, leading to issues with engine starting, stalling, or running rough.
Engine mount wear
The V6 configuration can cause more vibration, leading to faster wear and tear on engine mounts, resulting in excess engine movement and noise.
