“I have a 2005 Cadillac CTS-v my first issue was back in 05/05 8,200 miles on car while driving car would not allow me to shift or change gears the car stalled and rolled to a stop. I called for road service 2 hours from home they towed car to an area dealer who later called to inform me the rear differential failed and GM had refused to pay for service. I had the car towed to my local dealer at my expense, at my dealers request. …”
NHTSA complaint #10178994, filed 2007-01, 27,000 miles“Less than a year ago we purchased our 2005 Cadillac CTS from Cadillac of turnersville, nj. I just recently noticed a shimmy while driving and decided to inspect the tires and found that both front tires have a large bubble in the outer sidewall. The tires are goodyear / eagle rs-a p225/55r16 94h. I looked online and noticed a large recall on goodyear / eagle rs-a tires with sidewall failure noted and would like to now report the issue with ours and see what we need to do to have the tires recalled and replaced as soon as possible, as I am not able to safely drive the car until we replace them. …”
NHTSA complaint #10323528, filed 2010-04, 50,000 miles“Several rear end differential failures. 1 at 4000 miles, the second at 8000 miles. And the third is loud and makes noises from the day I got it back. Gm tried to void and not cover the rear end so I had to take it to another state for them to fix it for me. They just start out quiet and then get louder and louder and louder. The last one died with my family in the vehicle at 40 MPH durring regular driving. Rear locked up then broke up in half. It killed the driveshaft and several other parts when it locked up. I have had 20+ GM cars in my lifetime and this one is the worst built rear end ever. …”
NHTSA complaint #10165600, filed 2006-08, 8,000 miles“Replaced tire because of screw in tire. Upon replacement I found out the tire only had 3/32 of tread life remaining. Goodyear eagle f1 p245/45 xr18 had less than 10,000 miles and was oem equipment on 2005 Cadillac CTS-v. Excessive tire wear on a 1-year old vehicle is unacceptable and prone to fail because consumers are unaware of such minimal tire life.”
