| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | MY 2006 CADILLAC CTS WITH A 3.6L V6 STARTED BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 31,000 MILES AND BURNS A QUART EVERY 800 MILES. I DRIVE ABOUT 6500 MILES PER YEAR, MOSTLY IN SHORT DISTANCE CITY DRIVING. THE CAR STILL DRIVES WELL AND IT STILL PASSES THE TEXAS VEHICLE INSPECTION WHICH INCLUDES EMISSIONS TESTING. THE OIL GETS BLACK QUICKLY AFTER A CHANGE. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION IS EXCESSIVE FOR SUCH A LOW MILEAGE CAR. *TR |
| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | 2004 CADILLAC CTS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ECM BOARD RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE COST TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE ECM BOARD WAS $800.00. THE DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER, IT WOULD NOT START. AND THE SAME MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE VEHICLE, FROM WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY TAKEN TO THE DEALER. ALSO, THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. |
