Dealer, upon inspections, found that the cam carrier is starting to leak. Approximately a $3,000 repair. Per the internet, is sounds like this is a known GM issue with this model.

Rodents chewed wiring because it is soy based. I'm lucky because my car was not disabled while driving etc because the EVAP system was affected . This could have been much worse and could have caused death etc if it happened to another system of the car. ie: brakes, propulsion, headlights, air bags, etc etc etc...Cadillac dealer who fixed the issue said that it is a common problem and not warranted and my car has no warranty anyway.

I took my suv in for diagnostics to a certified GM dealership at least twice while still under warranty. The check engine light was on, the car was behaving abnormally as well as making unusual concerning noises. The dealership sent me away saying no codes showed up and they couldn’t find a problem.The light would come on and off sporadically. I took screen shots of my dashboard every time the light came on.

I did some research online and apparently this is a common issue with Cadillac cars. I reached out to other Cadillac owners and they advised me to submit a complaint with the NTHSA due to the frequency of this issue across Cadillac cars. Will there be some t

I took my car is for service at the Cadillac dealership and they stated there was an oil leak from the camshaft carrier. When I asked more questions they stated it was a fairly common problem with the XT4 and a few other models where there was a faulty seal at the "T-joint" (cam carrier T-joint). My car is no longer under warranty, but had under 26000 miles at the time. There were no warnings or symptoms. I would not have not if the dealer had not told me. The cost was estimated at $3254.45. If this is a common problem, why isn't there a recall?
