Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The display on the radio will only show one word of the artist or song. The dealership said that this was a flaw of the 2007 CTS radio and there was nothing that could be done. I contacted Cadillac and the restated what the dealership said and based her conclusion on the dealerships testing on one other 07 CTS. This is disappointing since I paid an extra $1,500.00 for the bose system.”
