2007 CADILLAC CTS BEGAN MAKING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE. HAD THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING CHANGED BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED. ON WAY HOME FROM WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY ON I75 DRIVING 70MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT, THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND AND WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. NEARLY HAD ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO GET TO SHOULDER OF ROAD. WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT "THE REAR END WENT OUT OF YOUR CAR BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEFT IN IT" WHEN I ASKED HOW THAT COULD HAPPEN THE MECHANIC SAID THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A LEAK OF SOME KIND. STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR 4 YEARS BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. WHEN I CALLED GM AT 800-458-8006 I WAS TOLD BY AUTOMATED PHONE SYSTEM THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE #07204E AND 10355C SO ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AND THE LADY FROM MANILLA IN THE PHILIPPINES (BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEIR CUSTOMER CARE CENTER IS???) INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS "NO OPEN RECALL ON YOUR CAR" EVEN AFTER I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THE AUTOMATED SERVICE HAD JUST GIVEN ME 2 OPEN RECALL NUMBERS FOR MY VIN # ...SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T HELP ME FIND SERVICE FOR MY CAR.

PURRCHASED CAR USED IN 2010. WHILE ON A TRIP EAST THE ENINE WOULD STAR REVVING UP DURING ANY TYYPE OF ACCELARATION.I CALLED ON-STAR FOR AN ANALISIS OF WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM.THEY RAN A REPORT WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING AND CAME BACK WITA DIAGNOSIS OF LOW LVEL OF MOTOR OIL.I TOLD THEM I SHHOWED A LEVEL OF OVER 20% .THEY SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE HOME BUT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AS SOON AS I GOT HOME. THIS PRROBLEM HAS PERSISTED EVER SINCE,REGSRDLESS OF THE OIL LEVEL. I INQUIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND SEVERAL CAME BACK WITH "THIS IS COMMON FOR CADILLACS AND FOR ME TOSTART CARRYING SOME OIL IN THE TRUNK BBECAUSE THESE CARS OF THIS DATE HAD NO OIL GAUGE AND THEREFORE THE REVVING NOISE WAS THE ONLY CLUE ITHIS CAR WOULD GIVE ME THAR IT NEEDS OIL.. SO I AM CONFUSED! WHY IS THERE NO OIL GAUGE IN THIS CAR? EXPECIALLY WHEN IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6 HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE? .I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FILED AND RIGHT AFTER THE COMPANY STARTED TO INSTALL OIL GAUGES IN THE NEWER MODELS AGAIN. I CANNOT GET ANY ANSWERS FROM DEALERS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN MORE OF THESE CONCERNS BESIDES MINE AND WHAT WAS THE END RESULTS IF ANY.

MY 2007 CADILLAC CTS HAS HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED AT 60,000 MILES!! I AM NOW EXPERIENCING SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS & HAZARDOUS BRAKE ISSUES WHEN PARKING &/OR TURNING THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY!! THE BRAKES PULSATE & GO TO THE FLOOR BUT FAIL TO STOP!! THE SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON & THE ABS/TC LIGHT AS WELL, BUT THEN WILL GO OFF BEFORE I CAN MAKE IT TO THE DEALER!! WHEN I PARKED ON A HILL MY CAR FAILED TO STAY PARKED & STARTED TO DRIFT BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL SO I HAD TO JUMP IN & HIT THE BRAKES MANUALLY!! ALSO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON THE DASH & INFORMATION CENTER THEN NOW IT IS STAYING ON AT 90,000 MILES. I CONTACTED GMC ABOUT THE BRAKE ISSUES & THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALLS FOR ANY BRAKE ISSUES!! I ALSO ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG FOR MY 2007 VEHICLE BUT THEY INFORMED ME IT WASN'T FOR MY VIN # BUT IT IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS THE RECALL!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THESE HAZARDS!! GMC/CADILLAC NEEDS TO STEP UP & CORRECT THESE ISSUES BEFORE IT IS TO LATE!! HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO GET INJURED, DIE, OR COMPLAIN BEFORE THESE ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED!!! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LUXURY CAR BUT IT IS MORE LIKE A JUNK CAR DEATH TRAP!!!!
