Cadillac CT5 Rumors, Questions & General Discussions

looks like good new for those of us waiting for a CT5:
Cadillac has announced that it will retrofit vehicles that were built without the heated and ventilated seat as well as heated steering wheel features sometime in 2022. As Cadillac Society reported earlier, the comfort features became temporarily unavailable due to the ongoing global microchip shortage wreaking havoc in the automotive industry.

As a result, Cadillac was forced to temporarily restrict availability of heated and ventilated seats plus heated steering wheels as supply constraints prevented the inclusion of the features in some 2022 model year vehicles. The deletion of heated steering wheels affected the CT4 and CT5 luxury sedans as well as the XT4, XT5 and XT6 luxury crossovers, while heated and ventilated seats were withheld from only the XT4, XT5 and XT6. Owners will be credited with $50 per vehicle to compensate for the inconvenience.

Finally. Mine is scheduled to be produced next week but I won’t believe it until I get the confirmation

Just ordered and received a set of clear all weather mats which I have bought for previous cars before. They are called Hexamat and our custom fit and really do a great job. They hold up well and a very easy to clean and have the cutouts for the clips that are in the floor of the car to hold them in place. Front and rear set is about $115

That’s great to hear the same for me as well. Don’t know if we will get to see them by the end of the year but we can always hope for a Christmas miracle.

👍👍. From what I have read it looks like the heated seats are not affected on the CT5 so it may just be the steering wheel that we have to be concerned about. Also saw that Cadillac will be able to retrofit the steering wheels if we don’t get ours so we may be in good shape after all.

It’s all out of our hands at this point. Once the car is physically built and we’re over the biggest hurdle.

According to my dealer, my CT5 is at 3400 = Broadcast (Order is sent to various build & supplier areas to bring order together).

How are you getting your updates?
I just contacted Cadillac live chat and they just said same thing as last week.

I have located your order and can see that your vehicle is at the Event Description 3400-Broadcast. You have a Target Production Week of 12/13/2021 – congratulations! I recommend reaching out 1 to 2 weeks after your target production week for your next update.
