I AM THE OWNER OF THIS 2007 GM PRODUCT. I TOOK MY CAR TO FRANKEL CADILLAC 1/09/15 , INVOICE NUMBER 60596 AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THERE WERE RECOMMENDED RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. ON THAT DATE THERE WERE SOME PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE WIRING ON THE ABS AND EBTM AND I DENIED THE SERVICE TO BE DONE THERE BECAUSE I WAS QUOTED A COST OF OVER 2,500 DOLLARS AND I WAS INFORMED THAT IT MIGHT ESCALATE TO 3500 IF AN ABS PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALSO. I LATER HAD THE WORK DONE AT YOUNG'S LOCATED IN WOODLAWN FOR A LOT LESS. I NOW PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM AND HAVE THE AUTO IN GREGG'S REPAIR , 5050 WABASH AVE. I ALSO SAW ON LINE THAT THE ON STAR OPERATION IS ABLE TO RELEASE THE ANTI THEFT MODE. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED A PRICE OF 886 DOLLARS PLUS CHANGE BY GREGG'S CADILLAC . I AM ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY OUT, THE BATTERY HAS TO BE DISCONNECTED. I AM PERPLEXED THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.

ON WAY HOME FROM WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY ON I75 DRIVING 70MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT, THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND AND WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. NEARLY HAD ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO GET TO SHOULDER OF ROAD. WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT "THE REAR END WENT OUT OF YOUR CAR BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEFT IN IT" WHEN I ASKED HOW THAT COULD HAPPEN THE MECHANIC SAID THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A LEAK OF SOME KIND. STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR 4 YEARS BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. WHEN I CALLED GM AT 800-458-8006 I WAS TOLD BY AUTOMATED PHONE SYSTEM THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE #07204E AND 10355C SO ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AND THE LADY FROM MANILLA IN THE PHILIPPINES (BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEIR CUSTOMER CARE CENTER IS???) INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS "NO OPEN RECALL ON YOUR CAR" EVEN AFTER I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THE AUTOMATED SERVICE HAD JUST GIVEN ME 2 OPEN RECALL NUMBERS FOR MY VIN # ...SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T HELP ME FIND SERVICE FOR MY CAR.

THIS PRROBLEM HAS PERSISTED EVER SINCE,REGSRDLESS OF THE OIL LEVEL. I INQUIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND SEVERAL CAME BACK WITH "THIS IS COMMON FOR CADILLACS AND FOR ME TOSTART CARRYING SOME OIL IN THE TRUNK BBECAUSE THESE CARS OF THIS DATE HAD NO OIL GAUGE AND THEREFORE THE REVVING NOISE WAS THE ONLY CLUE ITHIS CAR WOULD GIVE ME THAR IT NEEDS OIL.. SO I AM CONFUSED! WHY IS THERE NO OIL GAUGE IN THIS CAR? EXPECIALLY WHEN IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6 HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE? .I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FILED AND RIGHT AFTER THE COMPANY STARTED TO INSTALL OIL GAUGES IN THE NEWER MODELS AGAIN.

MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS 15 MPH OR LESS AND DOING A TURN (SUCH AS PARKING OR GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH), YOU CANNOT PUSH IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOP THE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO TO RAPIDLY PRESS AND DEPRESS THE BRAKE PAD UNTIL THE BRAKES ENGAGE AND STOPS THE VEHICLE BEFORE HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU OR SOME OTHER OBJECT. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS DURING AN EMERGENCY STOP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. $1000 LATER THE SAME PROBLEM IS PRESENT. SECOND ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM PERIODICALLY TRIPS ITSELF AND THE CAR CANNOT START FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH TWO CHILDREN INSIDE IT WE APPROACHED A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DID NOT EVEN SLOW DOWN. PUMPING THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK EITHER. WE WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN BY SWERVING AROUND OTHER CARS. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS CROSSING AND THANKS TO OTHER DRIVERS BEING VERY ALERT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT IT WAS VERY CLOSE AND TERRIFYING. WE ALLOWED THE CAR TO COAST TO A STOP AND THEN HAD TO PUSH IT TO A SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF THE MAIN ROADWAY. THE CAR STILL HAD A FULL RESERVOIR OF BRAKE FLUID (NO FLUID LEAKS) AND HAD NO BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH. BRAKE PAD AND ROTORS WERE ONLY A MONTH OLD. WE ARE HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP TODAY. *TR

AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD AND TO COME TO A STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR I ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I HIT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN TIME TO STOP MY QUESTION IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS AS IT NEVER GAVE WARNING ANYTHING WAS WRONG ON THE DASH OR OTHERWISE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN WITH THE AC ON WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE GAUGES IN THE CAR DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE CAR INSIDE BECAME VERY HOT AND THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED UP. I IMMEDIATELY GRIPPED THE WHEEL AS TIGHT AS I COULD AND MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO CRASH. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE, IT WAS SHUTTING ITSELF DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I PULLED OVER I HAD TO FORCE IT INTO PARK. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND KILLED BY ANOTHER CAR. IT HAPPENED SO FAST. ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED TODAY WAS THAT I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TRIED TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND THE KEY WOULD NOT MOVE OR COME OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR RAN FOR A WHILE AND THAN SHUT OFF, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS LIGHTS WERE BLINKING VERY FAST AND DID THAT UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED AND THE KEY IS STILL STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. USUALLY THE KEY WILL COME OUT AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, BUT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 BATTERIES FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR UNTIL NOW. I WILL NEVER BUY A CADILLAC VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A TERRIBLE CLUNK FOLLOWED BY GRINDING. I STOPPED TO LOOK UNDER THE CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMETHING FELL OUT OR OF THE CAR. I GOT IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN LEAKING. I HAD CONTACTED CADILLAC EARLIER IN THE 2014 TO CHECK ON RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I THINK IT SHOULD'VE BEEN UNDER RECALL. I READ THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE CTS, BUT CADILLAC REFUSES TO MAKE IT RIGHT ON OLDER MODELS. I AM JUST GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING AT 70 MPH OR SOMEBODY COULD'VE BEEN KILLED. I AM $2,200 IN THE HOLE NOW... *TR
