I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A TERRIBLE CLUNK FOLLOWED BY GRINDING. I STOPPED TO LOOK UNDER THE CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMETHING FELL OUT OR OF THE CAR. I GOT IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN LEAKING. I HAD CONTACTED CADILLAC EARLIER IN THE 2014 TO CHECK ON RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I THINK IT SHOULD'VE BEEN UNDER RECALL. I READ THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE CTS, BUT CADILLAC REFUSES TO MAKE IT RIGHT ON OLDER MODELS. I AM JUST GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING AT 70 MPH OR SOMEBODY COULD'VE BEEN KILLED. I AM $2,200 IN THE HOLE NOW... *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY WITH A SLIGHT SLANT. REAR HATCH WAS OPENED AND WE WERE UNLOADING VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MINUTES AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, WE WENT BACK OUTSIDE TO REMOVE ITEMS FROM THE REAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING AWAY (TIRES TURNING, NOT A SLIDE). A PERSON IN THE GROUP WAS ABLE TO CATCH IT AND JUMPED IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND APPLIED THE BRAKE. SERVICE DEPT REPORTS THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. I'M GRATEFUL WE WERE ABLE TO CATCH IT OTHERWISE, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED WHILE UNLOADING THE REAR OR IT COULD HAVE ROLLED AWAY AND CRASHED WHILE WE WERE IN THE HOUSE. *TR
