Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Timing chain has been loosened and possibly ready to break. Service bulletin #11340c was issued and GM/Cadillac never contacted me for the special coverage repair. They are now refusing to assist me. While driving vehicle there was burning rubber smell and car hesitated, failed to accelerate while driving on a busy county road in danville indiana”
NHTSA complaint #11415206, filed 2021-05, 130,000 miles“A recall has been issued by GM for 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-v cars concerning the fuel pump module and the electrical connector melting a hole and allowing for a fuel leak. See GM recall: n140405 I have verified that my car uses the exact same fuel pump that is in all the recalled cars. The same pump would then require the use of the same style connector that is prone to melting and spilling fuel. I would like my fuel pump to be repaired just as all the other 2004-2007 CTS-v's. This is a significant concern for safety.”

The information we have received is that the timing chain needs to be replaced. We paid for additional warranties when we purchased our Cadillac in 2010. Our timing chain was replaced in august 2011 and now are being told that there is no oil in our car and we need repairs that cost over $2000.00. My husband and I do not have that kind of money instantly. We have provided documentation of timely oil changes and up to date repairs on the vehicle. …”
