2006 Cadillac DTS Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I just purchased a 2006 Cadillac DTS, we got gas for it and very soon after we stopped at a red light and the vehicle shut off but started back up immediately. None of the climate control or anything turned off just the engine. Also sometimes while the vehicle is idiling in park,drive, or at low speeds the vehicle will idle very low then the RPM's will increase to normal after about a second. If you are driving at low speeds and the car does that when it revs up to normal it jerks. The last part is when you get to lower than half a tank it starts studdering when you coast then accelerate.”

“During a family outing, I noticed a rear tire that had lost air pressure again. I had no choice but to visit a discount tire, to diagnose the problem. We hadn't run over a nail nor a screw, but had become the victims of Cadillac's inferior production. The chrome plating began to peel, and separate from the alloy wheels. I was forced to purchase inferior aftermarket wheels in order to get my family home. The informative, and integrative agent at discount tire showed me that all four of my stock, chrome, Cadillac wheels had prematurely corroded, forcing my wife and I to replace the wheels. …”

“I turned right out of my place of employment. I was less than a half block from the light. I pulled into the center lane intending to turn left at the light. Suddenly my car accelerated rapidly. I slammed on the brake so hard my leg hurt for days. The car accelerated more and the brake did not stop it completely. I rear ended a large pickup. I went back to my office and contacted Cadillac customer service immediately. I requested they check the black box computer module. They did eventually do that but said they found no problem. Nobody seems to be listening to what happened. …”

“The contact owns a 2006 Cadillac DTS. While driving various speeds, the contact would sporadically hear a loud growling noise coming from the front driver's side of the vehicle. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the differential courier. Immediately after the repair, the failure recurred. The dealer stated that they were aware of the failure, but could not determine the cause or provide a remedy. The failure mileage was 16,000 and current mileage was 23,000.”
