2008 Cadillac Cts

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING THE VEHICLE INSIDE THE GARAGE, A VERY STRONG FUEL ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE FUEL ODOR SEEPED INSIDE THE HOUSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A LINE IN THE FUEL TANK FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

FOR THE FOURTH TIME A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND MY SPEED WAS LIMITED TO ABOUT 5 MPH, PUTTING ME IN DANGER OF BEING T-BONED. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS OF THIS THE CAR FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND LIT UP THE SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNINGS AND ALLOWED ME TO ACCELERATE AGAIN (EXACTLY AS IT'S DONE THREE TIMES BEFORE WHEN WHEEL SPEED SENSORS HAVE GONE OUT). THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BUT LOOSENED AS THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT A VERY LOW SPEEDS TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING ACTUATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

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.

ON APRIL 8 2016 MY WIFE WAS ON THE WAY TO THE BANK AT PEACH AND LIBERTY IN ERIE PA. SHE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN SHE HAD NO TRANSMISSION OR BRAKES. LUCKILY FOR HER THE EMERGENCE BREAK WORKED BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING BACKWARDS. HAD IT TOWED TO ROTH CADILLAC IN ERIE PA. WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE BROKE (THERE WAS NO WARNING) AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE BRAKES WENT OUT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT. SO AGAIN MY WIFE CONTACTED CADILLAC HEADQUARTERS AND MY WIFE GOT AN EMAIL FROM CADILLAC HEADQUARTERS SAYING SORRY FOR YOUR PROBLEM BUT WE WILL GIVE YOU ONE HOUR OF DIAGNOSTIC FOR FREE. AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT.
