I WENT TO CADILLAC TO GET THE RECALL FIXED THEY SAID IT WAS CLOSED OUT AND COULDN'T FIX IT AND NOW I CAN'T SMOG MY CAR AND I CAN'T TELL IF I HAVE GAS OR NOT AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT GETTING THE FUEL PUMP FIXED

MY 2005 CADILLAC CTS DOES HAVE RECALLS ON THOSE MODELS HOWEVER IN CONTACTING CADILLAC THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I HAVE A SREVICE AIR BAG SHOWING UP ONSREEN AND IN MIRROR OF MY CAR. I AM HOPING I CAN FORCE THEM TO FIX THIS

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY 2019 AND IT WENT DOWN IN LATE APRIL OR EARLY MAY OF THIS YEAR. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN IT WOULD GO OFF FOR A FEW DAYS. THE ENGINE WOULD RATTLE WHEN FIRST CRANKED AND THEN IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT WOULD CONSTANTLY KEEP TRYING TO CRANK BUT NEVER WOULD AND NOW IT IS COMPLETELY OUT. I HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO PUT 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT BUT I HAD THE OIL CHANGED A MONTH BEFORE THE CAR DIED. THEY SAY THE OIL IS GOING SOMEWHERE BUT WHERE? I WAS ALSO TOLD THE TIMING CHAIN HAD FAILED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT CAN CAUSE THE PISTONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO FAIL WITH THE ENGINE. IT WILL COST ME OVER $2000 TO GET REPAIRED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. CADILLIAC MAKES EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE SO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GETTING ONE UNLESS YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY AFFORD IT AND NOT BE IN DEBT BEHIND IT. I WAS IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR BUT THIS IS HORRIBLE. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME TRYING TO GET IT REPAIRED AND NOW I'M DONE.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 CADILLAC CTS WHICH WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE AIRBAG RECALL, ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA AND GM WEBSITES, BUT HAS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AS THE ONES INCLUDED. I TOOK MY CADILLAC TO GET A 27 POINT INSPECTION, OIL CHANGE, ETC., ON 2/16/18, AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WORKING. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE GM MANUFACTURING RECALL OF TAKATA AIRBAGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC CTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT CALLED GENESIS CADILLAC (19900 E 9 MILE RD, ST CLAIR SHORES, MI 48080, (586) 772-8200) AND WAS INFORMED THAT AN UNKNOWN RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND THE VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED WITHOUT BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE'S A VERY HARD JERKING COMING FROM SOME WHERE IN THE REAR AREA WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS A LOST OF POWER. ALSO THE ENGINE OIL IS GOING SOME WHERE ,I KEEP HAVING TO PUT OIL IN IT , ABOUT TWO TO THREE QUARTS A WEEK. WHEN THE OIL GETS REAL LOW THE ENGINE SHAKES AND RUNS LIKE CRAP AND ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF.

TAKATA RECALL HAD WRECK AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT THE TIME IT SHOULD HAVE, RUSH IN AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL CAR WAS ON HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT,

ON ANY IN CLINING ROAD OR ACCERATION OF THE GAS, STALLING AND POWER ACCELERATION DECREASES DRAMATICALLY.AND EXTREMELY SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE CARRIAGE CAUSED NAUSEA, SEVERE MIGRAINES, LIGHT HEADNESS, TO ME AND MY TOO YOUNG DAUGHTERS. FUEL EFFICIENCY ALSO DECREASED...

MY WIFE HAS BEEN COMPLAINTING ABOUT THE BRAKES DON'T STOP THE CAR SOMETIMES. I DROVE IT TODAY AND MADE A SHARP RIGHT TO ENTER IN A PARKING SPOT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THAT SCARED THE WHAT EVER OUT OF ME.
