WAS ENTERING THE ON RAMP ON TO A FREEWAY AND JUST TAPPED THE BRAKE AND NOTICED AND HEARD THE LEFT FRONT TIRE GRIND AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE LEFT REAL HARD. I WAS GOING INTO A BLIND UNDER PASS AND THOUGHT THAT IF IT SEIZED UP AROUND THE BLIND CORNER I WOULD SURELY BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT A STONE CHIP WAS IN BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND ROTOR. THE CAR WAS TOWED AWAY TO A AAA LOCATION ABOUT 3 MILES AWAY. THE SERVICE STATION THEN TOOK IT OUT AROUND THE BLOCK AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE. THE PUT THE CAR UP AND THE LIFT AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT WAS WRONG. THEN I TOOK THEM OUT AROUND THE BLOCK REAL SLOW AND THE LEFT FRONT BRAKES WOULD GRIND AWAY. THEY TESTED IT AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG NO ERROR CODES. THEY I SAID COULD DRIVE THE CAR HOME FROM SAN DIEGO TO SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY NOT DIDN'T MAKE IT A BLOCK AWAY BEFORE IT LOCKED UP THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO MARVIN K. BROWN AUTO CENTER ABOUT A MILE AWAY AND IT WAS THERE FOR TWO WEEKS AND $500.00 FOR A STEERING SENSOR REPLACED. THEN IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND THE CTS WAS TAKEN TO TUSTIN CADILLAC AND THEY TRIED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS AFTER SPENDING 2 DAYS AT THE DEALER AND $1700.00 LATER THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE NOT ONLY THE LEFT FRONT BUT NOW IT IS THE RIGHT FRONT. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO ACTIVATE ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT AT ANYTIME AT ANY SPEED. THIS LAST TIME IT FELT LIKE THE LEFT REAR ACTIVATED, THE CAR GOT OUT OF CONTROL EVERY ONE AROUND ME BACKED OFF. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH THE LOCKING OF LEFT OR RIGHT FRONT TIRES AND IT DOES SAY DING AND READ " CHECK STABILITY SYSTEM" THIS CAR IT NO LONGER SAVE TO BE DRIVEN AND I WAS TOLD THE LAST PART TO FIX IT IS "OBSOLETE" THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT WORK IS TO DISABLE THE "STABILITY SYSTEM" BY UNPLUGGING THE FUSES ON IN THE TRUNK ON UP FRONT.

MY 2003 CTS CADILLAC KEY STUCK IN IGNITION AND CAR ENGINE SHUTS COMPLETELY DOWN. THE ECM IS READING LIKE SOMEONE IS STEALING THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING OF PARK AND WANT START. DEFECTIVE RECALL. GM SHOULD REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THEY DID NOT FIX THE RECALL PROBLEM, THEY JUST PUT A BAND AID ON IT AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS RECALL FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. NO QUALITY IN THEIR VEHICLES. THE CONSUMER IS PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THEIR DEFAULTS. THIS ARE NOT CHEAP INVOICE VEHICLES, WHILE THEY ARE GETTING BAIL OUTS, NOW WE KNOW WHY. AND PAYING THEIR CEO BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THE CONSUMER'S BACK. WHY?? NO CONSUMER, NO JOBS FOR ANY OF GM EMPLOYEES. I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED. AGED OF THE VEHICLE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEFAULT OF GM VEHICLE PRODUCTS.

6 DISC CD CHANGER CONTINUES TO GET STUCK, AFTER ATTEMPTING AND FAILING TO GET CDS TO EJECT, I HAVE COME TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND THEY HAD EJECTED THEMSELVES OVER NIGHT. OTHER TIMES A CONTINUOUS NOISE IF POWER TO RADIO WAS ON WOULD EMIT AS IF SYSTEM WAS TRYING TO EJECT CDS ON IT'S OWN BUT NOTHING WOULD EVER COME OUT. IN THE END, RESULTING TO EVEN IF POWER TO RADIO WAS OFF, CD PLAYER STILL WAS MAKING WEIRD SOUNDS EVEN IF KEY WAS NOT IN IGNITION. ALL NIGHT AND DAY THE CD PLAYER WOULD EMIT RANDOM NOISES THAT I BELIEVE MAY OF CAUSED MY BATTERY TO BE DESTROYED. AFTER A FEW JUMP STARTS, A NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED. ONCE THE NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED, THE CD DISC CHANGER HAS BECOME DORMANT AND MAKES NO SOUND OR ANY TYPE OF RESPONSE TO ANY CONTROL BUTTONS. IT WON'T EVEN GO TO THE CD SETTING OR SHOW ANY TYPE OF ERROR CODE ON THE DISPLAY PANEL/SCREEN. THE CAR ACTS AS IF A CD PLAYER NEVER EXISTED. NO SHOP WILL EVEN ATTEMPT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT TO ASSESS THE ISSUE UNDER THE $100 MARK. AS OF THIS DATE AND TIME, ALL I GET TO DO IS LISTEN TO THE AM/FM RADIO AND AN OCCASIONAL CASSETTE TAPE IF I COME ACROSS ONE. VERY UPSET ABOUT THAT, CONSIDERING CADILLAC HAS OTHER BOSE COMPONENTS, THEY COULD OF SPLURGED ON A BETTER CD SYSTEM BECAUSE CADILLAC OWNERS HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CD SYSTEM WITH AFTER MARKET PRODUCTS AND LOSE THE CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY SCREENS OR KEEP THE CONTROL DISPLAY SCREEN/PANEL AND DEAL WITH ONLY BEING ABLE TO PLAY THE RADIO/CASSETTE PLAYER FOREVER.
