2008 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

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.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. FAILED EMISSION TESTING. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING INDICATE A TROUBLE CODE 2008 AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING TIMING CHAINS. 74,000 MILES

THE CAR IS LEAKING WATER INSIDE AND INSIDE THE TRUNK AND IT IS MOLDING, THE CAR IS SOAKED OF WATER ,THIS IS DANGEROUS

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL CLINKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE SOUND USUALLY OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND THE "TIMING CHAIN" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,053.

I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE IT SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP. MY CAR IS A AWD AND THIS WILL BE A COSTLY REPAIR. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON A DANGEROUS COMMON PROBLEM? THANKS
