2007 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. WE HEARD FROM GM RECALL CENTER THAT OUR LOCAL GM DEALER, RALLY AUTO, DID THIS RECALL NOV 15, 2013. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN NOT EVEN 5 YEARS LATER. WE ARE SENIORS AND DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR THAT FAR. WE TOOK IT IN TO RALLY AND THEY PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND CHARGED US $143 TO TELL US IT WOULD BE ALMOST $1000 TO FIX THE AIRBAG MODULE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IN RESEARCHING, IT SAYS THAT THE RECALLS NEVER EXPIRE IF THE MANUFACTURER AND PARTS AVAILABILITY ARE STILL THERE. WE ARE SENIORS ON LIMITED INCOME AND THIS IS EXHORBITANT FEES. THEY DID NOT CHECK UNDER THE SEAT TO SEE IF IT MIGHT BE A SIMPLE BREAKAGE OR BENDING OF WIRES I DON'T BELIEVE. CAN YOU HELP US GET THIS FIXED? IT SEEMS IT SHOULD NOT BE MESSED UP SO SOON. THANK YOU.

THE CAR IS RUNNING LIKE IT IS STUCK IN SOME KIND OF SAFETY MODE. IT DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE UNLESS IT STARTS ACCELERATING IN THIRD GEAR. IT DOES NOT COME OUT OF 3RD GEAR AT ALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE LIT UP ON THE DASH. THERE IS A COUPLE OF RECALLS LISTED FOR THE SAME EXACT YEAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT IT SAYS THAT THIS VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER RECALL. I THINK THAT THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED TO SEE IF IT ACTUALLY DOES NEED TO BE LISTED UNDER THOSE RECALLS. IT IS NOT JUST THIS ONE SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER HAVING THESE ISSUES EITHER. I HAVE TALKED TO QUITE A FEW CADILLAC OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THEIR VEHICLES ARE NOT LISTED UNDER THOSE RECALLS EITHER. IF YOU TURN ON THE CAR YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE THE CAR REMAINS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND WILL NOT SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS PROPERLY.

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE AN AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK IN TO DEALER. SAYS THE CODE B092 NEEDS PASS. PRESENCE. QUOTED US ALMOST $1000 FOR REPAIR. NOTE THAT THIS RECALL WAS TAKEN IN AND DONE NOV 2013. WHY IS IT MESSING UP AGAIN? HOW LONG IS THE REPAIR SUPPOSED TO LAST? SHOULDN'T IT BE FIXED AT NO COST TO US?

MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. THEN MY ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD TRUCK. NO WARNING CAME. THE CHECK ENGINE LITE NEVER WENT ON SO I STOP DRIVING IT TILL IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED AND WHEN I STARTED UP THE CAR THE ENGINE BLEW. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH A LIFETIME LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND IT COVERS THE ENGINE. THE WARRANTY IS GOOD FOR LIFE AS LONG AS I OWN THE CAR AND KEEP UP ON ALL MAINTANCE AT A GM DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID FOR 8 YRS. THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM CLOSED. I CALLED GM AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY STATED I NEED TO GO TO THE WARRANTY COMPANY. NOTHING STATES IN MY WARRANTY IF THE DEALERSHIP CLOSES THAT MY WARRANTY IS INVALUED. THAT IS NOT RIGHT I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD PAY THE COST OF THIS ENGINE BECAUSE I BELIEVE MY CHECK ENGINE LITE WAS FAULTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SHE USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT KEPT DRIVING WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVID'S AUTO SALES INC (1804 S PETERSON AVE, DOUGLAS, GA 31535, (912) 384-8570) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FLOOD AND HAD HOLES UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED DETERIORATION. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED "AS IS'. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000.

THIS YEAR GOT MY ALL CHANGE SAID I HAD OIL N WATER PUMP LEAK CAR HAVE BOUT 220000 MILES ON IT

YES I BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION AT FIRST BROUGHT CAR COUPLE MONTHS LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT BACK UP SO GOT THAT GRANNY REBUILT AND THEN FOUR AND HALF YEARS LATER HAVE PROBLEM WITH TYRANNY AGAIN BUT NOW AS YOU PUT FOOT ON PEDAL THE CAR GO FOR ONLY BOUT 5 OR 10 MINUTE THEN IT WOULD SLOW DOWN THEN WOULD JUST STOP WHEN PUT FOOT ON PEDAL. WIPER WOULD NOT TURN OFF ON IT OWN ONLY WHEN YOU TAKE FUSE OUT THE RADIO STOP WORKING N THE BRIGHT LIGHT WOULD TURN ON BY ITS SELF EVERY TIME YOU PUT ON TURN SIGN ON AT NIGHT.

WAS DRIVING AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE CAME ON TWO DAYS AGO ALONG WITH THE ABS T/C LIGHT ON THE DASH. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANT SO I'VE KEPT DRIVING. ABOUT AN HOUR AGO I WAS GETTING READY TO PARK INTO MY GARAGE AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A PARKED CAR. AGAIN THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. I'M 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. I'M NOT LOOKING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO MY BRAKES FAILING. MY SERVICE AIR BAGS MESSAGE ALSO COMES UP AND EVEN WITH A PASSENGER IN THE CAR IT DOESN'T STATE THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ON. I AM PRETTY SURE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES WERE PART OF A RECALL BUT I HADN'T OWNED THE CAR DURING THAT TIME. AS OF NOW THIS CAR IS A FATAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I'M UNSURE AS TO WHY THERE ISN'T STILL AN OPEN RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS BRAKE FAILURE ISSUE.
