10/12/2010 - Bob
The 2010 DTS has a sloppy build quality. Trim on exterior doors does not line up. The doors themselves are out of line. My trunk had to be repainted due to imperfections in the paint job. Plastic frame inside trunk was hanging off. Interior drivers side molding on windows has a gap where you can see right through it. And finally had the transmission bolts sealed as there was a leak with only 1000 miles on the car. The DTS is NOT Cadillac standard of the world. GM does not care as they are replacing the DTS model. Not a good way to keep customers. This will be my last Cadillac as the workmanship quality is crap.
