#844 of 854 Future of DTS by dispencer2 Jun 30, 2009 (4:28 pm)
No car magazine has said anything about the future of the DTS. I assume that in a couple of years GM will downsize the DTS and drop the STS. Something will probably emerge that is bigger than the STS and smaller than the present DTS. Does anyone know anything about this? I guess there will be a 2010 DTS identical to the 09. I'll be in the market for a used 09 next year. I like my 03 and don't want anything smaller so I guess I'll get the 09 and keep it for 10 years or so. The town car will be dropped next year. Doesn't anyone want a car that will hold 6 people, gets 30 on the roads and has great passing power? I've driven the CTS - rides stiffly and is cramped inside.. If I want a mid size I'll buy a new Malibu! It rides lots better than the CTS.. Actually my 09 Cobalt rides better than the CTS. Replies to this message: kenb757 (Jul 01, 2009 7:50 am)
#845 of 854 09 DTS noise from navigation system by peteyshuffles Jul 01, 2009 (4:15 am)
anybody having a problem with the noise emitting from the navigation system from the 09 DTS. Car rides great. Very smooth and quiet except for the problem from navigation system. Replies to this message: gbosley (Jul 01, 2009 6:06 am) bob247 (Jul 05, 2009 3:22 pm)

Replying to: dispencer2 (Jun 30, 2009 4:28 pm) I agree with you on the CTS. 2010 DTS: two color changes,   http://media.gm.com/us/cadillac/en/product_services/r_cars/r_c_DTS/10index.html   Heard that the next DTS is being modified so it can handle batteries (hybrid model). On the Lincoln side, the MKS is no replacement for the Town Car. It rides like the CTS, has low levels of refinement, but does have more room inside.

Replying to: peteyshuffles (Jul 01, 2009 4:15 am) I have an 07 and never heard any noise from the navigation system. My 07 has a lot of other problems. I have been waiting for Cadallic customer service to tell me what they are going to do but so far nothing. Hope you never have to deal with them. They tell me they will call back on a certain day and don't. When I finally talk to them again I get the same story over and over. Really seems like they are just stalling with hopes I will go away. When I had to take my car in for service while vacationing in North Carolina the rep in the service department told me that when he printed out what has been done to my care so far there were two pages. By now there should be at least 3 pages. Things keep breaking.

Replying to: sls002 (Sep 03, 2008 10:46 am) Marsha7, sounds like you are doing it right. A lot of times when the people rotating the tires or putting new ones on, drive the lug nuts up tight with the impact and then work either the pattern or around the wheel. By doing this it can warp the rotors or misalign the wheels to the hubs. They should back the impact pressure off until all the lugs on that wheel are snug and then tighten them to torque.   Our 07 DTS is now getting an average of 28 mpg highway and has done as well as 30 mpg between fill ups on a long trip.   Someone mentioned the GM GPS has their house a few blocks from where it obviously is. Our aftermarket GPS does the same thing. I think GPS is only as good as the people who initally entered the actual locations. GPS I believe reads your location through whatever system you have, but initially, that location had to be linked to the system/satellite manually. Our Garmin always tells us we are home when we are really a block and a half away. We have found other discrepancies in the GPS directions, near Orlando, it will tell us to get off the toll road on an exit ramp that is Sunpass only, no way to pay cash, which if we didn't know better from family, could have caused a ticket worth more than the GPS system, since we don't have a Sunpass.
#851 of 854 Example of DTS Quality by john178 Jul 27, 2009 (7:07 pm)
After reading about dead battery, electrical issues, and other such problems with the DTS, I feel fortunate that my 2006 Luxury ll, purchased new, and now with 55,000 miles, has only been to the service dealer for routine maintenance. I would buy another DTS in a heartbeat. Replies to this message: otto8 (Sep 20, 2009 8:37 pm)

Replying to: john178 (Jul 27, 2009 7:07 pm) My 07 DTS with almost 40k miles except for a battery replacement has been troublefree! Also my Nav. system has never made any noises either.
