2010 Cadillac CTS Engine Problems

“My engine light came on code p0008 timing chain issue. Cadillac has a recall on the 3.6 timing chains but my VIN for some reason isn't included. My Cadillac only has 76844 miles on it. The recall they have in place is for 10 years 120000 miles. Again for some reason my car isn't included even tho its the exact same issue and exact same engine.”

“My rear tail lights for my wagon have separated from the top of the car due to poor design. Spoke with Cadillac & GM, both refuse to believe it's a design flaw on the wagon models. Both stated car out of warranty due to mileage/year. Asked if they could tell me what was used to attach lamps to vehicle, neither has a clue. Dealer wants $2100 to replace, but no guarantee that it won't happen again. Since january 2019, car has been to dealer 3 times for car not starting on 1st try. …”

“Since purchasing this certified pre-owned vehicle, I have noticed that the car's engine has an intermittent tendency to suddenly rev or idle very high while my foot is on the brake and I am in the process of slowing down, stopping, or pulling into a parking apace. The car lurches forward and is only controlled during those times by applying a great deal of pressure on the brake until the idle returns to normal and the car stops trying to lurch forward. I have taken the car back to the service dept. …”

“Cadillac sent me a letter dated june 2014 with my vehicle's VIN on it indicating that the supercharger may develop a noticeable rattle noise at idle. The noise will typically go away when the engine RPM is raised slightly above idle. However, if left uncorrected, the problem, over time, may lead to contamination of the lubricating grease and cause the bearing to squeal. If left unaddressed, the bearing may overheat and can cause the engine seizure or no-start condition. Cadillac then goes on to say that they will extend the warranty for this issue for 10 years from the service date. …”

“The car shut off while driving down a hill this is the second time it has happened I checked with GM to see if there was a recall for this car and at this time there is not. We were lucky both times that there were no other vehicles around and that the car was kept under control while bringing it to a stop. Although GM has no recalls for this car I am filling this complaint because of the many recalls that are out there for this same problem. Will the third time be a charm when it happens and someone gets killed or seriously injured for GM to include this car? It will be to late!!!!!!!”
