Cadillac Xlr problems

cadillac logo

The Cadillac XLR is a front-engine, rear-drive, two passenger roadster manufactured and marketed by Cadillac from 2003 to 2009 across a single generation — and noted for its power retractable hardtop, Bulgari designed interior instruments, head-up display, adaptive suspension, rear-mounted transmission and near 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution. As Cadillac's flagship model, the XLR was introduced at the 2003 North American International Auto Show and began production for the 2004 model year — foreshadowed by the 1999 Evoq concept.

The Cadillac XLR, although sometimes perceived as a badge-engineered variant of the Chevrolet Corvette – also manufactured at GM's Bowling Green assembly, and with the XLR sharing its GM Y platform, hydroformed perimeter frame and composite bodywork construction technology with the Corvette — each car has unique engines, exterior body panels, and their own interiors, suspension settings; and importantly, the XLR featured a power retractable hardtop. And the XLR arrived a year ahead of its platform sharing C6 Corvette sibling.

The XLR was the first production Cadillac with radar-based adaptive cruise control (ACC) and the first to offer both heated and cooled seats.

The XLR was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2004.

Common Cadillac Xlr problems

The Cadillac XLR is a luxury sports car that has been praised for its sleek design and powerful performance. However, like any vehicle, it is not without its issues. Here are some common problems with the Cadillac XLR based on complaints from owners:

  • Top Mechanism Issues: The Cadillac XLR's retractable hardtop is one of its most distinctive features, but it can also be a source of frustration for owners. Some have reported issues with the top getting stuck or not closing properly. One owner reported that the top had gotten stuck with the trunk lid up already three times in just three weeks of ownership.
  • Expensive Repairs: Many owners of the Cadillac XLR have reported that repairs can be expensive, especially when it comes to parts that are unique to the car. For example, one owner reported that the "UN-obtainium" headlights for their XLR were selling for $3500 on eBay at the time, and that replacing the front brakes and rotors was one of the few repairs they were prepared for.
  • Roof Panel Delamination and Leaks: Another common issue with the Cadillac XLR is roof panel delamination and leaks. One owner reported that the panel de-lamination and the leaking front lock cylinder were major issues that required significant repairs.

Overall, while the Cadillac XLR is a luxurious and powerful car, it is not without its issues. Owners have reported problems with coolant leaks, electrical issues, top mechanism problems, expensive repairs, and roof panel delamination and leaks. It is important for potential buyers to be aware of these issues and to budget accordingly for potential repairs.

Are Cadillac XLR expensive to maintain?

The average annual repair cost for a Cadillac is $783, which means it has average ownership costs. The other factors that contribute to Cadillac reliability include an average of 0.4 visits to a repair shop per year and a 17% probability of a repair being severe.

Why did the Cadillac XLR fail?

Reality Bites. The Cadillac XLR had a few kinks in its armor. It may have looked better than the C6 Corvette from some angles, but it was a bigger car with a less potent engine, so it was slower than the Corvette.

Does the Cadillac XLR have a Corvette engine?

The XLR was built on the same GM Y Platform as the Chevrolet Corvette, and it even came out of the same factory in Kentucky. But, and this is a big "but," Cadillac opted not to install an LS engine under the hood of their new roadster. Instead, the XLR was going to use GM's most technically complex engine.

Is the Cadillac XLR fast?

The XLR-V could accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.6 seconds according to Car and Driver's tests. The magazine also timed it at 11.3 seconds to 100 mph (160 km/h) and recorded a 13.0 second quarter mile at 110 mph (180 km/h). Its top speed was electronically limited to 155 mph (249 km/h).

Latest negative Cadillac Xlr car reviews

  1. Eusebio Weimann 2025-09-27

    Vehicle year: 2008

    This car is a close second to the Corvette, but unfortunately, after owning it for a year, I have spent more on repair costs than any car I've ever owned. It has been a bit of a lemon. Almost every two weeks, I was spending $800 on something to have it fixed. The extended warranty was worthless. I had to replace both window regulators, which cost $800 each, and then the transmission cable broke, which cost $400. As a single woman, the repair costs have been overwhelming, and I am struggling to keep up with the bills. However, I truly love driving this car with the top down and up.

  2. Wilford Lockman 2025-09-21

    Vehicle year: 2005

    To be honest, I was a bit surprised when I heard that GM, a large bank that also makes cars, was entering the luxury car market to compete with brands like Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes. However, after seeing the car in person, I noticed some areas that could use improvement. While the Eucalyptus wood is beautiful, the bin doors could be of better quality. The design is certainly eye-catching, but the wheels could have been more creatively designed. Additionally, I noticed some engineering issues during a recent 1,200 mile trip, such as the heat from the transmission tunnel fusing my vitamins together in the trunk. Finally, I had some difficulty getting the car to recognize the FOB so that I could start it. Overall, I think there is room for improvement, but I appreciate the effort put into this car and look forward to seeing future models.

  3. Johnny Schuppe 2025-09-12

    Vehicle year: 2004

    The electronics in my car have been completely unreliable. In the two months that I have owned it, it has been in service for half of that time. While the service department has admitted to still learning about this car, I have found the keyless feature to be a disaster. Despite these issues, I do enjoy driving the car when it is working. However, I am unsure if I would purchase it again. Additionally, I have experienced problems with OnStar's communication with the car.

  4. Zack Von 2025-09-09

    Vehicle year: 2005

    I have owned 9 Cadillacs over the past 14 years and have been extremely satisfied with each one. However, in February 2004, I received my dream car, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a nightmare. The car had several issues, such as lights that did not work, defective window switches, and difficulty starting. The XLR had to be towed on a flatbed twice back to the dealership. One of the fuel tanks had to be replaced, and the 'check fuel cap' message continuously appeared on the driver's information center. The car also had less than 13 MPG on open road and highway driving, engine misfiring, and leaked 1/2 - 1 pint of oil every time it was shut off. Additionally, there were various other electrical problems, and the navigation system only worked about 1/3 of the time. Unfortunately, the car spent 40 days in the shop.

  5. Kadin Vandervort 2025-09-07

    Vehicle year: 2009

    Although the vehicle is certainly unique, those in search of a luxury sports car may find it lacking in comparison to the XK, SL, and 6xx series vehicles. In my opinion, the non-supercharged version is a bit wanting, but the supercharged version offers good performance, with its Corvette heritage being quite obvious. However, it is worth noting that the lack of any storage behind the seats can make traveling a challenge. Additionally, with the top down, storage is practically non-existent, especially when compared to the SL.

  1. Maxine Green 2025-10-02

    Vehicle year: 2009

    I love my XLR-V! It always puts a smile on my face when I get behind the wheel. Although it has had a few issues, like a leaky radiator and a bad supercharger air pump that made some groaning noises, it's still worth it. It does require some maintenance, like replacing light bulbs, but the dealership was able to take care of it in just one hour. One time, the top stopped halfway, but we were able to close it manually using the key in the bumper. It's almost like the car has its own personality! Plus, the red color really makes it stand out and draws a crowd wherever I go. Even my old 95 Jaguar XJS, which I traded in, didn't get as much attention from both young and old. I'm just hoping that the XLR-V will be lower maintenance than the Jaguar!

  2. Colin McLaughlin 2025-09-25

    Vehicle year: 2004

    One of the finest machines I've ever driven. Wherever I go, people ask about the car, as not too many are on the streets in Savannah.

  3. Brycen Gorczany 2025-09-21

    Vehicle year: 2005

    What a car! Cadillac really outdid themselves. It rides like a Cadillac, handles exceptionally well, and is fast. It's great to have a luxury convertible made in the USA.

  4. Loy Lesch 2025-09-16

    Vehicle year: 2006

    Wow, it's amazing to hear that you've owned over 150 cars! It's great to hear that you think this car is the finest auto GM has ever built. It's a shame that it has been discontinued, but it's wonderful to know that it's a great collectors car.

  5. Chandler Ondricka 2025-09-08

    Vehicle year: 2004

    The brakes may squeak and the belts may require monthly greasing, but this is a common occurrence in high-performance cars. While it is unfortunate that the warranty has expired, there are still options available to address these issues. It is important to seek out a qualified mechanic who can provide expert advice and solutions.
