2008 Cadillac Cts

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

DROVE ON A STREET WITH A 2" SNOW COVER. AFTER ABOUT 25 FEET RECEIVED A NUMBER OF ALERTS ON MY DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER STATING: 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS OFF, ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING, SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST. IMMEDIATELY CALLED CADILLAC SERVICE WHO STATED SNOW COULD HAVE DISLODGED SOME WIRES, BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE. SINCE MANY ALL STATES GET SOME SNOWFALL CADILLAC NEEDS TO REDESIGN THE WIRING SO A SMALL ABOUT OF SNOW DOESN'T DISCONNECT CRITICAL VEHICLE FUNCTIONS. *TR

BRAKE SQUEAL ON MY 2008 CTS ALMOST FROM THE TIME IT LEFT THE DEALER SHOWROOM ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2008. DEALER STATES THAT CADILLAC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT CADILLAC HAS YET TO AUTHORIZE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. DEALER INDICATES THAT CERAMIC BRAKES WOULD CORRECT THE SITUATION BUT ONCE AGAIN CADILLAC DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT CERAMIC BRAKES FOR THE CAR. THEY HAVE THEM FOR OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE CTS ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. *TR

A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE 2008 CADILLAC CTS THE BRAKES BEGAN SQUEAKING EVERY TIME THEY WERE APPLIED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID TO RIDE THE BRAKES WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY TO CLEAN OFF THE METAL FILINGS ON THE BRAKE ROTORS DUE TO BRAKE DUST. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. BRAKES HAVE CONTINUED TO SQUEAK FOR MONTHS DESPITE RIDING BRAKES ON OPEN HIGHWAYS. *TR

BRAKES SCREECH WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THEY HAVE DONE THIS SINCE SHORTLY AFTER DELIVERY OF CAR WHICH IS ALMOST ONE YEAR AGO. FIRST TIME THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THIS WAS "NORMAL" AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. ANOTHER SERVICE WRITER VALIDATED THE COMPLAINT AND REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS. SEEMED TO BE BETTER FOR A VERY SHORT TIME, BUT IT STARTED AGAIN AND CONTINUES. HAVE CONTINUED TO INFORM DEALER OF THIS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS SERVICED WITHOUT RESOLUTION. *TR
