THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL BROKE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. WHICH MADE DRIVING THE CAR VERY UNSAFE. I PULLED OVER AND I GOT THE PART REPAIRED BY THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT SEAT HEATER. WHEN WEATHER IS COOLER AND I ACTIVATE THE SEAT HEATER I EXPERIENCED THE SEAT GETTING EXCESSIVELY HOT AND I NEARLY BURN MYSELF. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE HEATER SEAT AND COVER THE SEAT SO I DON'T GET HURT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY DURING TO HOW HOT THE SEAT HAD GOT. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE SHIFTER SELECTOR CABLE DETACHED AS I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON THE STREET (VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION) I WAS DRIVING AND PULLED UP PARK AND NOTICE THE SHIFTER KNOB WAS MOVING BUT THE INDICATOR WAS STUCK IN THE WRONG SELECTION. I HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BREAK AND ORDER A TOW TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR THE CARBWAS IN OR COULD I CHANGE GEARS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD RECALLS FOR THESE ITEMS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES BUT DENIED TO HELP ME BECAUSE THE RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC WHICH I DID NOT KNOW AND MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. I AM LEFT WITH A HUGE CAR REPAIR BILL FOR DEFECTED PARTS SOLD WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR. *TR

MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL SYS IS MAKING A LOUD GRINNING NOISE, I CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE 04/28/20, TO SEE IF IT UNDER RECALL STATUS AND I WAS ADVISED IT WAS NOT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2014 CTS. I HAVE 98139 ON MY CADILLAC AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. THAT LOUD GRINNING AND WHINING SOUND IS VERY ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BRAKES AT FIRST HOWEVER I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM IS CAUSING THE WINNING AND GRINNING SOUND.
