5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2018 Cadillac CTS has 2 recalls, both addressing the same issue: the electric power steering assist can fail, making the wheel significantly harder to turn, particularly at low speeds.
Without power steering assist, the driver must apply much greater physical effort to steer the vehicle, which raises the risk of a crash, especially during parking maneuvers or slow-speed turns where steering loads are highest.
