I NOTICED THAT OCCASIONALLY MY CAR BRAKES WOULD STOP WORKING A PUSH BACK AT ME WITH A PULSING FEELING WHEN I WAS TRYING TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 6-7 TIMES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING VERY SLOWLY AND TURNING, IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT I COULD RE-CREATE EACH TIME. NEXT I RECEIVED AN INTERMITTENT IN-DASH MESSAGE THAT STATED "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" THAT WOULD COME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN DISAPPEAR. IT DIDN'T ALWAYS APPEAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THIS WOULD TYPICALLY HAPPEN WHEN PARKING IN A PARKING SPACE, SLOWLY MAKING A SHARP TURN. I ACTUALLY HIT CONCRETE PARKING BUFFER ONE DAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP. IN TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND HUB BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE EBCM. THE COST WAS ABOUT $2000.00. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUES AND AM SEEING MANY CTS OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY TO FIND OUT THAT YOUR BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT TRAVEL WITH ME OFTEN. VEHICLE OWNERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND CADILLAC NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE IN FIXING THE PROBLEM AND NOT WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO BRING IN THEIR CARS UNTIL THEIR BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING. BRAKES ARE A MUST HAVE ON A CAR AND THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE BEGAN BURNING OIL. GM REPLACED DAMAGE TO TIMING CHAIN BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSES IT TO BURN OIL. SO NOW, I HAVE TO ADD .5 QUART EVERY 300 MILES. MY TECHNICIAN TELLS ME HE HAS MANY IN THE SAME BOAT. *TR

OUR CAR IS EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHICH MATCHES EXACTLY THE DESCRIPTION AND SYMPTOMS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 10V644000 AND GM SAFETY RECALL 100355. THE GM DEALERS KEEP SAYING OUR VIN DOESN'T MATCH THE PLANT WHERE THE CARS WITH THE PROBLEM AIRBAGS WERE MANUFACTURED AND WILL NOT REPLACE AS STATED IN THE RECALL, BUT OUR CAR HAS THE EXACT ISSUE AS SHOWN IN THE RECALL.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GM SUBJECT 10287 CONCERNING TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. GM PUT A BAND AID FIX ON THIS AND GAVE A SPECIAL WARRANTY TO 120,000 TO REPAIR ANY ISSUES WITH TIMING CHAIN UNTIL 120,000 MILES. OUR TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT AT 121,000 AND I FEEL GM SHOULD HONOR THE SPECIAL WARRANTY. TIMING CHAIN ISSUE WAS NOT EXPLAINED TO US WHEN THE BAND AID FIX WAS APPLIED AND TIMING CHAIN ISSUE STARTED BEFORE 120,000 MILES. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CADILLAC CTS. ON MONDAY, MARCH 17TH, AT 5:45AM, I WAS DRIVING SOUTH BOUND ON I-75. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, TRAVELING AROUND 77 MPH, AT ABOUT MILE MARKER 88, I HEARD A LARGE THUD NOISE LIKE SOMETHING HIT THE UNDERBODY OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN HEARD A LOUD METALLIC RINGING NOISE AND FELT A VIBRATION THROUGH THE VEHICLE FLOOR AND STEERING WHEEL. I PUT MY TURN SIGNAL ON TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS I TURNED MY HEAD TO THE RIGHT TO SEE IF IT WAS CLEAR TO GET OVER, I NOTICED A LARGE CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD SEE AN ORANGE REFLECTION OF FLAMES IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT OF ME. I GOT OVER TO THE SHOULDER AT MILE MARKER 87. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, I LOOKED AT THE LEFT SIDE AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING, THEN WALKED OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (I WAS STANDING ABOUT 10 FT BEHIND THE VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE) AND NOTICED FLAMES SHOOTING OUT FROM UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WALKED BACK ABOUT 50 FEET AND CALLED 911 AND REPORTED THE VEHICLE FIRE. THE INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP SHERIFF'S OFFICE RESPONDED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER AND WAS GOING TO ATTEMPT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT, BUT BY THAT TIME THE FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT OF HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE FLAMES WERE ABOUT 4 TO 5 FT AT THAT TIME AND THE OFFICER DECIDED NOT TO ATTEMPT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER THE SHERIFF WAS THERE AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. I HAD THE VEHICLE

AFTER PURCHASE OF MY CTS, I NOTICED THE BRAKES SCREECHING AND PULSING. I'VE HAD MY BRAKES REDONE 3 TIMES AND I STILL HAVE SQUEAKING AND PULSING ISSUES. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CADILLACS DEALER AFTER THEY HAD CHARGED ME $600 FOR A BRAKE PAD ONLY JOB TO CHECK MY BRAKES AS THEY WERE STILL PULSING WHEN STOPPING ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT, AND THEY KEPT IF FOR A DAY AND TOLD ME MY BRAKES WERE FINE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE STILL PULSING. THEY CHARGED ME $85 FOR LOOKING AT MY BRAKES WHICH WAS A RIP OFF SINCE I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. AIR BAGS, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR. WITHIN A YEAR I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY CLEARLY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. MY CADILLACS IS BEAUTIFUL BUT I FEAR IT MAY COST ME MY LIFE ONE DAY IF CADILLACS DOESN'T STEP UP AND EXPOSE THESE PROBLEMS AND MAKE THE REPAIRS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 IN MONROE, MICHIGAN. WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE VENTURED OR STEERED INTO MY LANE, WHERE MY 2007 CADILLAC CTS WAS CUT OFF/BUMPED CAUSING A FRONTAL AND BACK IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE. THE CAR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE CAR AND THE IGNITION SWITCH LOCKED. ACCORDING TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY, THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD OF OUR 2007 CADILLAC CTS ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG-OFF LIGHT ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR. (BOTH WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON WHETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT) WE DID RESEARCH AND COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE CADILLAC. WHEN WE CALLED OUR LOCAL GMC CADILLAC DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD COST US $95 FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BUT THAT THE ISSUE HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR SO THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ANY LONGER. IT OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH QUITE A FEW GM CARS. THIS ISSUE WITH THESE CARS NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO LIST OF AIR BAG ISSUES WITH GM AND FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL WHO DRIVE THESE CARS, THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP! *TR

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A KNOW DIFFERENTIAL ISSUE WITH THE CADILLAC CTS. IN FORUMS EVERY WHERE I AM READING THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL FIRST LEAKS AND THEN GRENADES. I KNOW YOU ARE ONLY REQUESTING INFORMATION WHEN IT GRENADES, BUT I THINK ISSUES SHOULD BE STATED IMMEDIATELY! I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND HAVE PROBLEMS THEN. I CONTACTED CADILLAC FIRST AND RECEIVED THE HEISMAN STIFF ARM. I THINK THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT FLAW IN THE CTS DATING BACK TO 2004 AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL! *TR

NO BRAKES DURING SLOW RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE. BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PULSATE, CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AS IT SHOULD BUT STOPPED AT A CONCRETE BARRIER, THE BRAKING RECOVERED. PROBLEM FIRST STARTED ON JAN. 2012. TOOK CAR TO CADILLAC OF LAS VEGAS FOR DIAGNOSTICS. INVOICE NO. 419185. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM. THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER, 2013 BUT CAR HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP SINCE DUE TO OTHER PERSONAL ISSUES. *TR

I REPLACED MY BRAKE LINES BEING MANY OTHERS WITH THE CTS-V HAVE HAD FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. ONCE REMOVED, MY LINES WERE STARTING TO CRUMBLE APART UNDER THE RUBBER WHERE THE HOSE CONNECTS TO THE FITTING, JUST AS EXPECTED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE BASE CTS, BUT NOT FOR THE CTS-V, EVENTHOUGH THEY BOTH USE THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBER FOR THE BRAKE LINES.

IDN7-34821 I COULD NOT ATTACH THE PDF. NOVEMBER 2012 I WAS PARALLEL PARKING AND FELT LIKE MY CAR SLIDE BEFORE STOPPING. I HAD APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I TURNED THE WHEEL TO PARK AND AGAIN IT FELT LIKE THE CAR SLID ON SOMETHING, THE BRAKES MADE A NOISE, PULSATED AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO STOP. A DAY OR SO AFTER THAT I WENT TO PARK THE CAR AND THIS TIME THE BRAKES PULSATED, MADE A NOISE AND WOULD NOT STOP. I WAS HEADING FOR A BRICK WALL SO I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK. EACH OF THESE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH WHEN I WENT TO PARK THE CAR TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CADILLAC DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY RECALL, AFTER CHECKING THE CAR THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THEY REPLACED THE HUB & CHARGED ME $725.70. 3 WEEKS AGO (AUGUST 2013) I WENT TO PARK MY CAR AND STARTED TO FEEL THE SAME PULSING OF THE BRAKES AND SLIDING OF THE VEHICLE.A DAY LATER I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY DAUGHTER & THE CAR SLID AND THE BRAKES PULSATED MY DAUGHTER IMMEDIATELY ASKED WHAT HAPPENED SHE FELT IT TOO. ON 9/6/13 I TOOK MY CAR WITH 35,630 MILES ON IT TO A DIFFERENT CADILLAC DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH SEVERAL CODES & REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE CHARGING ME $1,434.87.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP FROM A SLOW SPEED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I EXPERIENCED THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, USUALLY WHEN DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD OR PULLING INTO A PARKING STALL. I NOTICED THAT IT ONLY OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING UNDER 10-15MPH. IT WOULD FEEL AS IF MY BRAKES WERE SLIPPING. MY CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO EASE FORWARD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD PULSATE AND MY ENTIRE FRONT DECK OF THE CAR WOULD SHAKE. TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM I WOULD BE FORCED TO EITHER PUMP MY BRAKES, IMMEDIATELY SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK POSITION, OR REMOVE THE CAR KEYS. THANKFULLY, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY IMPACT AND NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED. MY VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER A CERTIFIED-PREOWNED LUXURY WARRANTY OFFERED THROUGH GENERAL MOTORS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICED THIS CAR FOR THIS ISSUE IN 2009, 2010, 2011, AND 2012. ALL REPAIRS WOULD SEEM TO TEMPORARILY MASK THE PROBLEM, BUT THEN IT WOULD REOCCUR. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED ON MAY OF 2013. IN JULY 2013 I NOTIFIED THEM THAT THE BRAKE ISSUE WAS BEGINNING AGAIN AND AT A HIGHER FREQUENCY THAN BEFORE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP UNDERSTOOD THE HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS GOING TO OFFER THE REPAIR OUT OF GOOD WILL EVEN WITH THE EXPIRED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. THE WARRANTY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, SINCE IT HASN'T, IN MY OPINION, IT SHOULD BE COVERED. HOWEVER, THEIR CLAIM WAS DENIED BY GENERAL MOTORS. GENERAL MOTORS IS REFUSING TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNLESS I PAY FOR APPROXIMATELY $600 OF THE COST. I CANNOT AFFORD $600 AND FEEL THAT THIS SH

HELLO, I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES PULSATE (WITH A GRINDING NOISE) THEN FAIL WHILE MAKING A HARD RIGHT TURN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE LAST SUMMER. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT.FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING OR ANYONE. I HAVE HAD EVERY RECALL FIXED ON MY CAR UP TO DATE.

PLEASE HELP GET THE WORD OUT TO THIS PROBLEM. THROWING MONEY AT PARTS NOT NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS VERY EXPENSIVE, AS YOU CAN READ ON THE FORUM FROM OTHERS LIKE ME.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS A USED VEHICLE FROM ATLANTIC CADILLAC IN BAY SHORE NEW YORK IN APRIL 2011. SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS PURCHASE I HAVE HAD TROUBLE STOPPING.THE BRAKES FAIL AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHTS UP ON MY DASH. ALSO THE ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOLS LIGHT UP ON THE DASH. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM TOLD THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NO WAY TO HANDLE A BRAKE SITUATION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR THIS MORNING IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. WHICH I MIGHT ADD WAS FULL OF STUDENTS AND CARS, BUSSES. THIS PROBLEM MUST BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED THIS MORNNING I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN ONLY TO BE GIVEN THE SAME RESPONSE THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH HOW I WAS BEING TREATED AT ATLANTIC CADILLAC SO THE LAST FEW TIMES I HAD PROBLEMS I WENT TO A DEALER CLOSER TO MY-HOME.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HILL CADILLAC, FC KERBECK AND GM PROTECTION PLAN TO RESOLVE OUR REPAIR ISSUES. THE INFORMATION WE HAVE RECEIVED IS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WE PAID FOR ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR CADILLAC IN 2010. OUR TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2011 AND NOW ARE BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NO OIL IN OUR CAR AND WE NEED REPAIRS THAT COST OVER $2000.00. MY HUSBAND AND I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY INSTANTLY. WE HAVE PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION OF TIMELY OIL CHANGES AND UP TO DATE REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE. WE LOVE OUR CAR AND NOW NEED THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHERS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR "CERTIFIED" CAR AND REPAIR OUR CAR. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC CTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 20 MPH AND WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V644000 (AIR BAG: FRONTAL: SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,443.

MY CAR HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONTAL SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE DOES NOT WORK AGAIN. I HAD IT ONCE REPAIRED DUE TO A RECALL, I BELIEVE IN 2009. NOW IN 2012, I AM HAVING ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE, IN WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (BEEN CONFIRMED BY DEALER). THIS PART SENSES IF THE PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE CAR. THE LIGHT IS ON TELLING ME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICE. MY BRAKES ARE NEW AND HAVE BEEN RECENTLY REPLACED, 2 MONTHS AGO, BUT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH STEPPING ON THE BRAKES. WHEN I DO I SLIDE AND THERE IS AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO AN RV, SLID 8 FEET INTO AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THIS ON-GOING ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY CADILLAC DEALER IN BELLINGHAM, WA. THE DEALER DIDN'T KNOW WHY I WAS SLIDING BUT TO BE SURE, IT WAS BEST TO CHANGE THE BRAKES. WELL, IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM WONDERING IF IT IS A RECALL. I CAN PHYSICALLY HEAR THE BRAKES LOCK UP, MAKES A GRINDING LIKE NOISE, THEN SLIDES FORWARD. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I AM IN WASHINGTON STATE & THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN WASHINGTON STATE, AS WELL. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MORE STATE CAN HAVE THE SAME ISSUES RELATED TO THE OTHER STATES AFFECTED? *TR
