2004 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

2004 CADILLAC CTS TIRE BLEW OUT. *TS THE CONSUMER SUBSEQUENTLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STRUCK ANOTHER CAR. *JB

FUEL TANK SHOWING FULL TANK OF GAS. DRIVING NORMALLY, CAR SUDDENLY DIES, NO POWER TO STEERING OR GAS PEDAL. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, CALLED ONSTAR, POLICE AND TOW TRUCK SUMMONED TO SCENE. TOW TRUCK TOWED ME TO NEAREST CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, CAR LEFT OVER THE WEEKEND. MONDAY MORNING DEALER CALLS TO SAY FUEL PUMP IS DEFECTIVE, AND THAT TANK WAS BONE DRY, EVEN THOUGH GAUGE WAS REPORTING 100% FULL...THIS ALL A RESULT OF THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. CAR ONLY HAS 6,200 KILOMETERS (ABOUT 3,500 MILES). FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER FUEL RANGE STILL REPORTING RIDICULOUS VALUES, JUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE, GAUGE STILL NOT ACCURATE, AM AFRAID OF LOSING POWER AND THAT THE GAS WILL RUN OUT WITHOUT MY KNOWING IT. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STALLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THE GAS TANK WAS DEFECTIVE. THE GAS TANK WAS BENT, AND THE FUEL COULD NOT GET TO THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. *AK UPDATED 11/30/2005 - *NM

APRIL 2005, NOTIFIED OF TIRE DETERIORATION - 12,000 MILES ON NEW VEHICLE. JULY 2005, DEAD BATTERY WITH CAR. AUGUST 2005, CAR SHUT ITSELF DOWN WHILE ON INTERSTATE 80. UNABLE TO USE ANY AUTOMATIC EQUIPMENT. AUGUST 2005 NOTIFIED OF TIRE DETERIORATION AGAIN, 18,000 MILES. THIS IS A LOT OF PROBLEMS BOTH MECHANICAL AND WITH THE TIRES IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD. TIRES AND MECHANICAL PROBLEM I BELIEVE TO BE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, ABOUT AS QUICKLY AS THE BLINK OF YOUR EYE. HAVE RETRUNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR REPAIR THE CONDITION.

DT: 2004 CADILLAC CTS-V, A POPPING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, THIS HAPPENED IN ANY TYPE OF WEATHER AND AT ANY SPEED, THIS WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP,. THE DEALER HEARD THE NOISE, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER TO GO AHEAD AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER DID NOT FEEL THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE NOISE FROM WINDSHIELD. *AK

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHEN THE CONSUMER TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION ON THE 2004 CADILLAC CTS.*MR THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED A BROKEN NOSE. THE AIR BAG DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY PRIOR TO THE CONSUMER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE 05V-024000. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A WEEK FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART TO ARRIVE AT THE DEALER. *NM

FLOOR MATS THAT COME WITH THE CADILLAC CTS DO NOT STAY IN PLACE, THEY GET PUSHED FORWARD UNDER THE BREAK AND GAS PEDDLE PREVENTING ACCELERATION AND STOPPING.

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE REAR END LOCKED. AS A RESULT, THE REAR END BEGAN SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TOT HE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE REAR BECAUSE OF NOISE. LESS THAN THREE MILES FROM THE DEALER THE VEHICLE THE CONSUMER HEARD NOISE AND THE REAR END LOCKED.
