2008 Cadillac Cts

FEBRUARY 14, 2020 IS JUST THE LAST DATE IT HAS HAPPENED ON. IT'S HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 30 TIMES. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS IF YOU DON'T JUST EASE ON THE GAS THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 5 M.P.H. I HAVE READ SEVERAL HUNDRED ARTICLES ONLINE ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES WITH PEOPLE DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME THING. IT ALMOST GOT ME HIT ON THE MS. RIVER BRIDGE THE OTHER DAY. IF U HAVE TO GO UP ANY TYPE OF INCLINE IT DOES IT ALSO. I WAS ACCELERATING SLOWLY AS I POSSIBLY COULD GOING UP THE SMALL INCLINE ON THE BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT GET OUT OF TRAFFIC THAT WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY 55 M.P.H. AND MY TWO YEAR OLD GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACKSEAT. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT TEMPORARILY IS TO GET OFF THE BRIDGE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WHERE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE. YOU HAVE TO KILL THE CAR FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RECRANK IT. I'VE HAD MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND I'VE HAD IT HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER AT O'REILLYS. NO ONE CAN TELL ME ANYTHING. BUT IF IT WEREN'T A SAFETY RECALL WHY WOULD ALMOST 1,000 VEHICLES THAT I KNOW OF BE DOING THE SAME THING. YOU CAN GOOGLE IT AND SEE THAT I'M TELLING THE TRUTH. LOTS OF THESE CARS HAVE THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A NEWER MODEL BETWEEN 2014-2018, BUT I'M AFRAID OF HAVING THE SAME OR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU ALL DO NOT WANT TO DO ANY RECALLS ON THESE CADILLACS. I'VE BEEN TO LOTS AND LOTS OF WEBSITES AND I HAVE NOT FOUND ANYONE WHO'S BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. EVEN THE ONES THAT HAVE HAD IT PUT IN THE DEALERSHIP HAVE STILL YET TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS TO BE ELECTRICAL OR ONE OR MORE SENSORS MALFUNCTIONING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RITCHEY CADILLAC (LOCATED AT 932 N NOVA RD #101, DAYTONA BEACH, FL 32117, (386) 675-1019) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,271. *BF CONSUMER STATED GM MODELS 2006,2007 AND 2008 WERE RECALLED BUT CADILLAC SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE FAILURE WAS BY TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

WHILE DRIVING MAYBE 6 MINUTES MY CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE RADIO OR AIR, WHICH BOTH REMAINED FUNCTIONING AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE RADIO NO LONGER PLAYS BUT THE AIR STILL BLOWS. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD AT NIGHT GOING APPROX. 50 MPH.

CAR HAS FAILED EMISSION TESTING FOR 2 CONSECUTIVE YEARS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. AFTER DRIVING FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN 2018 AND EXPLAINED THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF PERSISTENTLY. THEY TESTED EMISSIONS AND SAID IT PASSED. AGAIN IN 2019 IT FAILED EMISSIONS AGAIN AND THE DEALER PROVIDED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH INDICATED THAT TIME CHAINS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR $3900.00. IN SHORT PROBLEMS HAVE EXISTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS. THIS COMPLAINT IS CORRECT FROM PREVIOUS FILING NUMBER:11174923

MY SENSORS ALL CAME UP, SAYING THEY WERE BAD, I REPLACED THEM AND THE CHECK.ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I WAS TOLD ITS MY TIMING CHAIN AND THAT THE RECALL JUST EXPIRED. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A RECALL OR I WOULD HAVE HAD IT DONE BEFORE IT EXPIRED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ITS BOGGING DOWN AND LAGGING WHEN PUSHING THE GAS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

FINISH UP ON PREVIOUS COMPLAINT CONCERNING FRONT DOOR LATCHES ON 2008 CADILLAC CTS4 THAT WILL NOT ALLOW FRONT DOORS TO OPEN FROM THE OUTER LATCHES SETTING UP A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR FIRE. THE DEALER THAT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM DIDN'T SEEM TO TAKE IT TO SERIOUS, A MERE $1800.00 SHOULD FIX IT. HOPE YOU PEOPLE REALIZE THE POSSIBLE DANGER INVOLVED HERE. THANKS

FRONT DOORS ON 2008 CADILLAC CTS4 , ESPECIALLY R.F HAVE BECOME HARDER TO OPEN OVER LAST 2 YEARS. THE R.F DOOR AT TIMES WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE LATCH, HAVE TO ENTER CAR FROM L.S. AND OPEN R DOOR FRON INSIDE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR FIRE.DEALER WANTS $1800.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN A GM FAN FOR 60 YEARS AND FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES WITH GM, HAVE
