2009 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

ULTRA VIEW SUN ROOF IMPLODES ON I95 AT 55 MILES A HOUR ON 5 DAY OLD 2009 CADILLIAC CTS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING A 2009 CADILLAC CTS THE CAR GENERATES A DRONE, BOOM AND VIBRATION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING TO OR DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH THIS CAR SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY FROM THE CADILLAC DEALER. GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (#08-07-30-044B) TO INSTALL RUBBER INSULATORS AND REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS "FIX" DID NOT HELP. IT ONLY MOVED THE ONSET OF THE VIBRATION TO A HIGHER RPM/SPEED. WHEN THE VIBRATION OCCURS THE CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. I AM NOT SURE IF A MECHANICAL COMPONENT IS GOING TO FAIL. THE DRONE IS CONSTANT, DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS ALSO A BOOM NOISE AT 5 MPH WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS NOT A SMOOTH QUIET SAFE CAR. THE CADILLAC SERVICE MGR SAYS HE DOES NOT HEAR ANYTHING. I DO NOT AGREE. CADILLAC ALSO SAYS THE NOISES ARE INHERENT IN THE VEHICLE AND HAVE NO FIX. THEY ARE MAKING NO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CAR AT THIS TIME. *TR
