2008 Cadillac Cts

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE CRACKS IN THE BEARING ON THE DRIVE TRAIN, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS STILL BEING DIAGNOSED. THE LOCAL DEALER (ALASKA SALES AND SERVICE ANCHORAGE, 1300 E 5TH AVENUE, ANCHORAGE, AK 99501) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.

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!!!

I BROUGHT A 2008 CADILLAC BACK IN SEPT. 2014. APRIL OF 2015 I HAD A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT ON ME THREE TIMES ALL THREE TIMES I TOOK IT IN TO ROTH CADILLAC OF ERIE PA AND I ALSO CONTACT CADILLAC HEADQUARTERS AT THE SAME TIME. I PAY ALL THREE TIMES. THEY FIXED THE SENSOR AND REPAIRED THE WIRING HARNESS ALL THREE TIMES. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY 3-6 MONTHS IT WOULD BREAK DOWN. WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANIC AT ROTH CADILLAC THAT THEY GOT A MEMO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BUT WASN'T GOING TO DO A RECALL ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING GARAGE SO MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 5-10MPH WHEN THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. THE CAR STOPPED MOVING AND ALL OF THE SYSTEM WARNINGS POPPED OFF (ABS, STABILTRACK,ENGINE). THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE PCM WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. COST WAS APPROX $200. AFTER THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXIT RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE WHEN ONCE AGAIN THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. ALL OF THE SYSTEM WARNINGS POPPED UP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED ONCE AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T THE PCM AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME $265.00 TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE THE ELECTRICAL WIRING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE BACK OF THE CAR. IT WAS FIXED FOR APPROX $800.00. EACH OF THE SYSTEM SHUT DOWNS HAPPENED WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ABOUT OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN INDEPENDENTLY AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

CAR W/ 95,000 MILES. PROBLEMS AT 15,000 MILES. AIRBAG SENSORS FAULTY. "ECM" (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) REPLACED BUT NO ISSUES WITH HOW THE CAR WAS RUNNING. TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP "ALOT" OF ECM'S ARE REPLACED. IS ECM FAILURE COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE OR IS IT THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING ECM'S THAT DO NOT NEED REPAIR TO MAKE MONEY? ECM WAS A $1,000.00 REPAIR TO FIX A GAS SMELL FROM THE CAR. NEW ECM AND GAS SMELL IS STILL THERE. THEN TOLD NOW FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND LEAK IN THE FUEL LINE AS REASON FOR GAS SMELL. BOTH DEALER AND GM HAVE REFUSED REFUND FOR REPLACING ECM THAT DID NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED. REPLACING ECM DID NOT FIX THE GAS SMELL! PRIOR TO "ECM " ALL SIX OF THE OXYGEN SENSORS ALSO REPLACED. ANOTHER COSTLY REPAIR. I HAVE PAMPERED THIS VEHICLE SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED IT FROM FACTORY. VERY SUSPICIOUS SO MANY ISSUES NEEDING REPAIR HAVE OCCURRED WITH THIS CAR. NOW, IGNITION SWITCH IS BEING RECALLED AND WILL NEED REPAIR. I AM LEFT DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CAR. WILL MY FAMILY BE THE NEXT VICTIM OF A FAULTY GM IGNITION SWITCH? ALSO THE DOOR LOCKS IN THE REAR OF THE CAR ARE FAULTY EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. THE REAR DOOR LOCKS JAM AND THE DOORS WON'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DEALER IN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS REPLACED ONE REAR DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. BEFORE I REALIZED MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THE OTHER REAR DOOR LOCK ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. GM REFUSES TO FIX IT. NOW AN EXPENSE OF > $400. HAVING AN INFANT WHO RIDES IN THE BACK THIS IS CONCERNING THAT REAR DOOR LOCK JAMS. REPAIRS ON THIS 2008 CADILLAC CTS ARE ENDLESS AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE SO NUMEROUS CONSIDERING I HAVE BEEN THE SINGLE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE KEPT THE VEHICLE VERY WELL MAINTAINED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS? IS THERE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE?? *TR
