2007 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

FOR THE LAST YEAR MY CAR HAS RAN BADLY. VERY ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE LIGHT THROWING MULTIPLE CODES, BAD GAS MILEAGE, HEAVY OIL CONSUMPTION, AND PULSATING THROTTLE WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR THEY'VE GIVEN ME THE RUNAROUND. ON MONDAY I TOOK IT BACK IN TO RANCHO MOTOR COMPANY IN VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA AND THEY FINALLY SAY IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN. THE RECALL WARRANTY VOIDED AT 120000 MILES. NOW THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE RECALL. MY CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

IN DECEMBER OF 2010 THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR. THAT RECALL WAS COMPLETED ON JULY 7, 2011. I BOUGHT THIS USED CAR WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE ON JUNE 15, 2013. ON AUGUST 7, 2015 THE AIR BAG SENSOR WENT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT SINCE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE THEY WOULD NOT DO IT FOR FREE A SECOND TIME. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE RECALL WAS REPLACED WITH A FAULTY PART AS WELL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CADILLAC AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT.

TO ALL MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS I AM GOING TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE READ THIS AND MAKE IT GO VIRAL. I OWN A 2007 CADILLAC CTS-V WHICH I PAID $41,000.00 WHEN IT WAS NEW, WITH LOANS THE CAR ENDED UP COSTING ME $55,000.00 WHICH I WAS WILLING TO PAY. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR. NOW HERE IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 19,190 MILES ON IT AND AT 15,000 MILES I REPLACED THE TIRES. BEING A V THEY PUT ON BRIDGESTONE POTENZA'S. THAT COST ME ABOUT $1000.00. AT 17,000 MILES I HAD A SENSOR GO OUT ON MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE, THAT CONTROLS MY BRAKES. THAT COST ME $600.00. AT THE SAME TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED FRONT BRAKES. THAT ONLY COST ME $300.00 BECAUSE I HAD A COUPON AND TOLD THEM TO JUST REPLACE THE PADS AND DO NOT TURN THE ROTOR. AT 19,160 MILES THE LEFT WHEEL SENSOR WENT ALONG WITH ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME ANOTHER $1200.00. THE REASON I AM WRITING THIS IS BECAUSE A FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT A WEBSITE CALLED "EDMUNDS CAR REVIEW" AND I WENT ON THIS SITE TO FIND OUT THAT CADILLAC HAS HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 ETC. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN SOME SATISFACTION FROM CADILLAC AND SOLD THEIR CAR BEFORE THE NEXT REPAIRS. SO I BEG OF YOU, IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS CONSIDERING BUYING A CADILLAC CTS, CTS-V THAT THEY READ THE EDMUND REPORT FIRST. I AM NOW CONTACTING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE BBB HAS GUIDE LINES THAT RESTRICT THEM FROM DOING ANYTHING ABOUT ISSUES 6 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. SO PLEASE TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE RESEARCH AND LOOK INTO OTHER LUXURY CARS BEFORE BUYING A CADILLAC. ONE MORE THING, I WENT TO DINNER AND WENT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND STARTED CHATTERING AND THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE SPOT.
