2008 Cadillac Cts

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE CRUISING TO A STOP LIGHT, WHILE AT IDLE AND SOMETIME WHILE ACCELERATING. I'VE READ A LOT OF POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION. I GOT STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE ONCE TOO. GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW AND MY DIAGNOSIS FEE ITS OVER $750 AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE!!! THIS ISSUE IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR YEARS NOW!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES, SUCH AS THE TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE MIDDLE CONSOLE ELECTRIC FUNCTIONS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. AFTER SEVERAL REPAIRS, THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE CONTACT HAD THREE BATTERIES REPLACED AND THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE VENT CONTROLS ALSO FAILED TO FUNCTION FOR THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS PERTAINING TO THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. UPDATED 08/29/17*LJ *CN

RANDOMLY WHEN I GO TO START MY VEHICLE IT WON'T START BUT THE BATTERY IS GOOD,WHICH LEAVES ME STRANDED ....AND ALSO RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS UP SAYING TRACTION CONTROL OFF ALONG WITH EVERY LIGHT IN THE DASH DISPLAYED AND MAKING THE CHIMING SOUND.IT REDUCES THE ENGINE POWER SUDDENLY WHILE AT A HIGH SPEED CAUSING ME TO SWERVE IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC.

MY SUNROOF DRAIN IS OFTEN CLOGGED RESULTING IN THE INTERIOR BEING SOAKED DURING SLIGHT OR HEAVY RAIN FALL. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. ALSO WHENEVER THE WEATHER IS WARM OUTSIDE, THE BACK DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE OR WHEN EXITING THE CAR. I ALWAYS HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS UPON LEAVING THE VEHICLE. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN VIRTUALLY PRESENT SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND HAVE BECOME A NIGHTMARE. THE WATER LOG INSIDE THE VEHICLE ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE TIMING CHAIN, WHICH LED TO COIL ISSUES AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ISSUES WHICH LED TO LOW HEAD BEAMS CONSTANTLY BURNING OUT. EVERYTIME WORK IS DONE IT CAUSES A CHAIN REACTION TO OTHER PARTS IN THE CAR THAT REQUIRES MORE AND MORE MONEY. NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I AM TOLD THAT SINCE THE FIRST CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPAIRED, THE SECOND ONE NOW NEEDS REPLACING AND THE LOW HEAD BEAM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS WIRING ISSUES THAT WILL NOT ALLOW THE NEW BULB TO BURN, I AM TOLD THAT THE WIRING APPEARS TO BE SPLICED. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED IN APRIL AND SO WAS THE LOW BEAM BULB. HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED IN APRIL, 2015 IT IS NOT WORKING TODAY AND WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THE WIRING HAD BEEN SPLICED OR BURNED OUT. RADIO SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK AND ALL WAS CENTERED AROUND ISSUES WITH COILS AND CATALYTIC COVERTERS.

THERE IS A WATER LEAK OCCURRING FROM THE SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF DRAINS CONTINUOUSLY GET CLOGGED. IN RESULT, THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR GETS EXTREMELY WET. THIS OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2011 THEN HAS NOW HAPPENED IN THE SAME EXACT DRAIN ON MAY 05, 2015. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AFTER DISCOVERING THE WATER FOR THE SECOND TIME THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW ROLLED DOWN ON ITS OWN AND WILL NO LONGER OPERATE. WHO KNOWS WHAT OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES WILL OCCUR? DOES THIS PUT ME AT HARM? ALSO, NOW WITH ALL THE MOISTURE INSIDE THE CAR, THIS IS RUINING THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR! THE WORST PART IS THAT DUE TO THE MOISTURE IN THE VEHICLE THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOWS FOG UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DEFINITELY PUTTING ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD IN HARMS WAY BECAUSE IT IS INTERRUPTING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN THIS OCCURS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE DRAINS ARE GETTING CLOGGED, I DON'T PARK UNDER TREES AND MY CAR IS COVERED ALMOST YEAR ROUND. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND I FEEL LIKE THERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGE. *TR
