| 2005 | POWER TRAIN | I HAVE A 2005 CADILLAC CTS WITH 67,000 MILES. SINCE ABOUT 65,000 MILES CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A RATTLING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE GIVEN THE CAR A TUNE UP, OIL CHANGE AND THE CAR HAS OTHER FLUIDS ARE AT LEVEL. ONCE MY CAR HAS ACCELERATED AND THE GEARS HAVE CHANGED (I.E, SECOND GEAR) THE RATTLING SOUNDS STOPS..THE NOISE IS CONTINUOUS AND ONLY HAPPENS AT ACCELERATION, NOT WHILE IDLING. IN ADDITION EVERY NOW AND AGAIN WHEN A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER GETS IN THE CAR THE AIRBAG SENSOR/LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH FOR BOTH THESE ISSUES I FIND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM...HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE SO THAT GM CAN ADDRESS THESE SERIOUS ISSUES WITHOUT HAVING THE CONSUMER/OWNERS HAVING TO PAY AN ARM AND A LEG. *TR |
| 2009 | STEERING | 2009 CADILLAC CTS *GR THE CONSUMER STATED FROM TIME TO TIME, WHILE WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT TO CHANGE WITH HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SURGE INTO THE INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR WHEN PARKING AND SHIFTING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SURGE FORWARD. THE CONSUMER HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO TURN THE IGNITION ON. ON THREE OCCASIONS, HE HAD TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. *JB |
