Example complaints

“The clutch on the Cadillac cts v went after 40,000 miles. When it gets cold outside the it can become sticky and not fully usable. I think it might be the hydralic fluid in the clutch. It should not go bad every 40,000 miles can lead to possible crash if the clutch does not engage. I am lucky have not been in a crash due to the problems I am having with it.”
