2005 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

I WAS DRIVING INTO A DRUGSTORE PARKING LOT AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE CAR SPED UP INSTEAD OF STOPPING, THE MORE I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE FASTER THE CAR WENT...IT APPEARS THAT THE SPEED WENT FROM ABOUT 10 MPH TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND AS A RESULT OF THIS, MY CAR SPED UP AND WENT ACROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND INTO ANOTHER DRUGSTORE PARKING LOT. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE PILLARS IN FROM OF THE SECOND DRUGSTORE, WE PROBABLY WOULD BE DEAD. THE CAR SIMPLY WOULD NOT STOP! IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER HITTING THE PILLARS AT THE SECOND DRUGSTORE. IT WAS GOD WHO BLESSED UP AND KEPT US HERE ON THIS EARTH..MY CAR WAS TOTALED. NOW I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE. THIS CAR WAS A RUNAWAY CAR AT THE TIME THAT THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000.

STARTING TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THEY ARE STIFF AND BARELY WORKING AND REALLY HARD TO STOP CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR AXLE PINION SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE CAR HAS UNBELIEVABLE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS TRAVELING FROM ILLINOIS TO IOWA TO VISIT MY FATHER. DURING THE FIRST 4 HOURS, I HAD TO ADD 4 QUARTS OF OIL. THAN 20 MINUTES FROM OUR DESTINATION, WE HEAR A POP, THE CAR STOPS RUNNING, NO BRAKES AND I AM DOING 70 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE WITH NO POWER STEERING. I LUCKILY GET THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND TOW IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE. UPON RESEARCHING ANY ISSUES WITH CTS, I FIND NUMEROUS BLOGS WITH CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME CAR AND ISSUES. MANY OF WHO COMPLAINED TO CADILLAC. WHY HAS THE MANUFACTURER NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THIS, NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND PREVENT ANY INJURIES OR WORST A POTENTIAL DEATH. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? THEY KNOW ABOUT THE BLOGS BECAUSE THEIR REPRESENTATIVE WAS ON THERE AFTER SOMEONE SUGGESTED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TRYING TO DEFUSE THE SITUATION.

THE TRUNK LID ON THE CTS HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND WILLNOT STAY UP. IT CAME DOWN ANS HIT ME ACROSS THE SHOULDERS WHEN TRYING TO UNLOAD ITEMS IN THE TRUNK. THIS HAD HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MANY TIMES I HAVE OR OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN STUCK IN THE HEAD FORCEFULLY BY THIS HEAVY LID. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP DISCHARGED INTO THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSED THE OIL AND ENGINE BEARINGS TO SEIZE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V394000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND 14V542000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG PRESSURE SENSOR MODULE. DUE TO MISSING THE CUTOFF DATE OF EXACTLY 1 MONTH THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR THE PAIRS. DUE TO THE $650 REPAIRS REQUIRED I WAS NOT PREPARED TO HAVE THAT SERVICE DONE. ANY ASSISTANCE OR CLARITY ON THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45MPH. I HAVE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME YEARS POWERTRAIN SEAL GOING BAD AND THINK THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE MODEL THAT WASN'T RECALLED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS SERIOUS ISSUE??? *TR
