2003 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

THE DEALER UNKINKED A FUEL TANK HOSE. THIS PROBLEM MADE IT DIFFICULT TO PUMP GAS INTO THE TANK. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT GETTING THE PROPER GAS MILEAGE AND BURNS TOO MUCH OIL, ENGINE COOLER LEAKING FLUID, WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS OVERNIGHT IT HAS TO BE CRANKED TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE STARTS . *JG *NLM

THE CAR STALLS AT 25 MPH TO 45 MPH, OVER 20 OCCURANCES, DEALER ATTEMPTED 3 REPAIRS. DT

A BLACK BAR APPEARS ABOUT 75 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR WITH THE LOW BEAMS ON. THIS IS PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING ALONG NARROW COUNTRY ROADS IN THE AREA IN WHICH I LIVE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN UNSAFE DESIGN AND HAVE REPORTED IT AS SUCH TO CADILLAC BUT THE COMPANY DOESN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH A LOW BEAM SYSTEM THAT HAS A BUILT IN BLIND AREA IN THE PROJECTED BEAM IN THE DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT. REQUEST YOU INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT PLEASE. DT

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND NO WARNING THE FLOORBOARD STAYS WET AND THIS IS A DISTRACTION TO THE CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED TS

COMPONENT IN STEERING COLUMN FAILED....LEAVING A LOT OF PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL AT HIGH SPEEDS. CENSORS DID NOT PICK UP FAILURE. MECHANIC AT DEALER ACTUALLY HEARD IT MAKING A NOISE. DEALERSHIP DECLARED IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. GM ANTICIPATES 2 TO 3 WEEKS TO GET PART OFF ASSEMBLY FLOOR.*AK

THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 600 MILES DUE TO A RATTLING NOISE IN 2ND AND 5TH GEAR. AT 800 MILES THE NOISE REOCCURRED IN THE NEW TRANSMISSION. CADILLAC CLAIMS TO BE WORKING ON A FIX, HOWEVER NO ONE IN THE CADILLAC ORGANIZATION CAN COMMENT ON WHEN THE FIX WILL TAKE PLACE. THE NOISE CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND CONTINUES TO GET LOUDER.*AK
