STRUCTURE
THE DISPLAY ON THE RADIO WILL ONLY SHOW ONE WORD OF THE ARTIST OR SONG. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THIS WAS A FLAW OF THE 2007 CTS RADIO AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. I CONTACTED CADILLAC AND THE RESTATED WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID AND BASED HER CONCLUSION ON THE DEALERSHIPS TESTING ON ONE OTHER 07 CTS. THIS IS DISAPPOINTING SINCE I PAID AN EXTRA $1,500.00 FOR THE BOSE SYSTEM. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH MANY CURVES AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, I WENT TO TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS BY PUSHING LEVER ON LEFT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL OUTWARDS THE BRIGHT LIGHTS CAME ON AS INTENDED BUT AT THE SAME TIME I APPARENTLY HIT THE SWITCH WHICH CONTROLS THE LIGHTS IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I WAS LEFT WITH PARKING LIGHTS ONLY AND COULD NOT SEE AT ALL. THERE WAS NO ROAD SHOULDER AS IT WAS ONLY ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION. I REDUCED MY SPEED TO 4 OR 5 MPH AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT I HAD DONE TO CAUSE THIS. THERE IS NO LIGHTS ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND I HAD TO WATCH THE ROAD SO CAREFULLY THAT I HAD NO OR LITTLE TIME TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. A CAR CAME UP BEHIND ME AND WITH HIS LIGHTS I FINALLY HAD TIME TO LOOK DOWN AND MOVE THE LIGHT SWITCH TO ITS PROPER POSITION. IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR
