Read complaints for CADILLAC CTS (2007)

The seller lied about everything! the first question i asked was if the car was in an accident. He bragged about being a mechanic, and doing all the work on the car, so everything in the car is in, "tip top shape." he replied, "no, never!" he did not allow us to ride the car on the interstate before the purchase, claiming it was illegal. 10 mins after leaving the car lot, the car cuts off and is unable to crank back up. The seller meets us and claims it the battery. A "new" battery was placed in the vehicle, but the problem persists. My fianc, who is not a mechanic, told him more than once, that the problem was not the battery, but the alternator. He got the car to crank. As we are riding down the interstate, the car cuts off, and we are left aimlessly rolling and are unable to control the wheel. Plus, the electricity in the car is off so we can't even turn on our hazard lights to caution the other cars on the road. After speaking to the seller, once again, he tells us there is nothing he can do about it and will not cancel the deal. We've only had the car for 4-5 hours. After speaking to several mechanics, they quickly confirm that the alternator is the problem and anybody that claims to be a mechanic can see the problem immediately. They also inform us the car has been wrecked and should have not been resold for safety measures. Driving this vehicle almost cost us our lives.

My 2007 model year cadillac cts vehicle had a condition where repeated flexing of the passenger sensing system mat in the front passenger seat has caused the mat to kink, bend, or fold. The flexing broke the connections in the mat. The front passenger airbag has become disabled. The passenger airbag status indicator on the rearview mirror shows that the airbag is off, the air bag indictor does illuminate, and a service air bag message does appear in the driver information center and has for years! i have repeatedlyask village cadillac, service advisor: debbie henry to have the seat fixed. The problem with service advisor is that she looks at your recall records. Your records indicate that my vin does not have any outstanding recalls, which is correct. What i have is a letter from cadillac p.o. Box 909989 milwaukee, wi 53209-9989, stating that this mat can break and it has broken. Also, the plastic housing of the seat belt buckle is broken, which has started to fray the seatbelt strap. The vehicle was parked in the garage.

After purchase of my cts, i noticed the brakes screeching and pulsing. I've had my brakes redone 3 times and i still have squeaking and pulsing issues. I took my car to a cadillacs dealer after they had charged me $600 for a brake pad only job to check my brakes as they were still pulsing when stopping on uneven pavement, and they kept if for a day and told me my brakes were fine even though they were still pulsing. They charged me $85 for looking at my brakes which was a rip off since i still have the problem.air bags, i took my car in for the air bag recall repair. Within a year i have the same problem. They clearly are not fixing the problem. My cadillacs is beautiful but i fear it may cost me my life one day if cadillacs doesn't step up and expose these problems and make the repairs.

Our car is experiencing an issue with the passenger side airbag, which matches exactly the description and symptoms in nhtsa campaign id 10v644000 and gm safety recall 100355.the gm dealers keep saying our vin doesn't match the plant where the cars with the problem airbags were manufactured and will not replace as stated in the recall, but our car has the exact issue as shown in the recall.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------gm subject 10287 concerning timing chain issue.gm put a band aid fix on this and gave a special warranty to 120,000 to repair any issues with timing chain until 120,000 miles.our timing chain went out at 121,000 and i feel gm should honor the special warranty.timing chain issue was not explained to us when the band aid fix was applied and timing chain issue started before 120,000 miles.

I was involved in a crash that when hit the vehicle turned off and airbags did not work. I was hit twice on driver rear and passenger rear, spun out and no airbags deployed. I was crossing over a city road from a stop sign,was hit at 60 mph. I was doing 20 mph going straight across from the stop sign.

The red air bag light came onthe dash board of our 2007 cadillac cts along with the passenger air bag-off light on the rearview mirror. (both warning lights stay on whether someone is sitting in the seat or not) we did research and come to find out there was a recall on the passenger side air bags for this year/make cadillac. When we called our local gmc cadillac dealership to inform them and they stated that it would cost us $95 for them to take a look at it but that the issue had already been fixed before we bought the car so that it was not covered under the recall any longer. It obviously has not been fixed and come to find out this is a serious issue with quite a few gm cars. This issue with these cars needs to be added to list of air bag issues with gm and for the safety of all who drive these cars, this needs to be fixed asap!

After starting up my car (a 2007 cadillac cts) and attempting to go in reverse, it stalled in my driveway and began to roll down the hill. I tried to brake and to steer the car, but it would not respond.i also noticed that my traction engaged light was on.i ended up sliding into the retaining wall and continued down the hill until i crashed into the brick pillar of my garage.my airbags did not deploy and onstar did not respond to the crash.i sustained injuries ended up in the er.the local gm dealer could not find anything wrong with my car and said that my airbags did not deploy due to the "angle" of the hit. My car had nearly $8000 worth of damage so this was not a little "fender bender".when i was at the dealership talking to the service department manager, he told me that there was another customer who was filing a complaint against gm because they had a similar problem.they had an accident in their cadillac and sustained much more damage than i did, but their airbags failed to deploy also.i took delivery of the car at 463 miles and my incident took place around 503 miles or so.i had this car less than 30 hours when this happened.i still contend that the car stalled and caused this accident, but gm said that there were no codes found when they ran the diagnostic.i bought this car due to the onstar, and even though their website says that it can detect a collision without the airbags deploying, it did not work in my case.

Takata recall.we heard from gm recall center that our local gm dealer, rally auto, did this recall nov 15, 2013.the airbag light is on again not even 5 years later.we are seniors and do not drive this car that far.we took it in to rally and they put it on a machine and charged us $143 to tell us it would be almost $1000 to fix the airbag module in the passenger seat.in researching, it says that the recalls never expire if the manufacturer and parts availability are still there.we are seniors on limited income and this is exhorbitant fees.they did not check under the seat to see if it might be a simple breakage or bending of wires i don't believe.can you help us get this fixed?it seems it should not be messed up so soon.thank you.

On monday march 5, 2012 @ 8am my daughter was @ a stop sign.she waited for 3 cars to pass she pulled out onto 16th street where the cars travel @ 35mph... She waited for the truck to go past & @ 8am the sun is bright she could not see the trailer that the truck was towing & she tried to go straight across the street!she hit the trailer head on & it smashed the front end of my car & spun her around & smashed the passenger side & dragged her down the road... The battery acid from car was melting the road.the police & insurance company were very surprised that my airbag did not go off!!!!!i had only had my car back for 8 days from the dealership before it was totaled.i had just put new tires on, new filters, new spark plugs, a catalytic converter etc, they checked my car in full as they did every time & never did anything say i had an airbag problem.i brought my car in for every recall i ever received!my insurance company & i both have taken pictures.my problem now is that i owed more than my car was worth.my complaint is the simple fact that the airbags did not deploy for such a horrible collision, yet a friend had a softball hit the hood of her car & her airbag deployed.how can i trust my children will be safe when driving, if i don't have the assurance of an airbag!

Was driving and service brake assist message came on two days ago along with the abs t/c light on the dash. I had no idea what it meant so i've kept driving. About an hour ago i was getting ready to park into my garage and the brakes would not work and i almost crashed into a parked car. Again the service brake assist light came on. I'm 7 months pregnant and this is my only transportation. I'm not looking to get into an accident due to my brakes failing. My service air bags message also comes up and even with a passenger in the car it doesn't state that the passenger air bag is on. I am pretty sure both of these issues were part of a recall but i hadn't owned the car during that time. As of now this car is a fatal accident waiting to happen and i'm unsure as to why there isn't still an open recall to address this brake failure issue.

My car has been confirmed that the frontal sensor/control module does not work again. I had it once repaired due to a recall, i believe in 2009. Now in 2012, i am having another issue with the passenger airbag module, in which needs to be replaced (been confirmed by dealer). This part senses if the passenger is sitting in the car. The light is on telling me the passenger airbag needs service. My brakes are new and have been recently replaced, 2 months ago, but there is an issue with stepping on the brakes. When i do i slide and there is an increase in stopping distance. I almost crashed into an rv, slid 8 feet into an intersection because of this on-going issue. I was told by cadillac dealer in bellingham, wa. The dealer didn't know why i was sliding but to be sure, it was best to change the brakes. Well, it is happening again. I am wondering if it is a recall. I can physically hear the brakes lock up, makes a grinding like noise, then slides forward. I am scared to drive the car.i am in washington state & the car was purchased in washington state, as well. Is it possible that more state can have the same issues related to the other states affected?

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. The contact stated that the driver was traveling 20 mph and was involved in a crash.the air bags did not deploy.the contact was told by the repair shop that there was a recall for the failure under nhtsa campaign id number: 10v644000 (air bag: frontal: sensor/control module).the contact spoke with the manufacturer and was told that the vehicle was not included in the recall campaign. The failure and the current mileage was 51,443.

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. While driving approximately 50 mph, the front seat passenger airbag warning indicator illuminated with the seat being occupied. The warning indicator remained illuminated until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis and they informed the contact that the front passenger seat sensor mat would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact discovered a recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number air 10v644000 (bags:frontal:sensor/control module) however, the vehicle wasnot included in the recall. The failure mileage was a 59,000.updated 4/11/2011

The frontal passenger side airbag works through a sensor in the front seat. It senses weight applied to the seat and turns the airbag capability on for the frontal passenger airbag. My airbag light stays lit on the dash and the passenger side air bag light on the rear view mirror displays that the airbag is off whether or not the seat is occupied. The nhtsa has a campaign id # 10v644000 covering this same scenario. When calling the cadillac dealer for my 2007 cadillac cts, they have no information for the nhtsa campaign number. I called the nhtsa hotline where i acquired the gm recall number of 100355. After returning my call to the dealer and have given them the gm recall number , i am told that this recall does not apply to my car and a $99.00 diagnostic fee would apply. The nhtsa summary clearly outlines my problem, consequences and the sopposed actions my dealer should take to remedy the recall. How can i be certain the information my dealer has given is indeed correct? at first, the service writer seemed confident that there may be a "recall fix". After more conversation it seemed to stray more towards a possible cts-v recall which replaces a glovebox in case the airbag fails, to cause less damage to the passenger, in case of a frontal collison. I am concerned, not only that the passenger airbag may be disengaged, but this may affect the airbag system as a whole. Any information that can be given on this topic would be appreciated.

On friday september 19, 2014 i received a recall (14172) letter from gm.the notice states "partsare now available to repair your vehicle" relating to safety and the ignition key.in addition i am instructed to call my "cadillac dealership as soon as possible" to schedule a service to fix the problem.i called two dealerships on september 22, 2014, close to where i live and both reported that they had no parts and did not know when they would have them!!!!i am extremely upset and frustrated as my livelihood depends upon using this car and i had no idea that cadillac was involved in this "key" recall.i mean isn't cadillac supposed to be gm's higher quality car???

Vehicle was stationary in our home garage. It would not start, it would start when jumped but died shortly after. We had the battery tested, it was bad, we replaced w a new battery.

While driving car on city street about 2 miles from home, noticed smell coming out of vents. Pulled over to check for problem and found that the engine compartment was on fire. Called fire dept who came and put out the fire but the front of car was completely destroyed. Called gm customer service to report and they basically told me they were not going to get involved. No investigation or help what so ever. It appears to have been caused by some kind of electrical short, not fuel related. Fire appeared to have started on passenger side of engine near the battery.the car continued to run normally while on fire.

I was driving down a major highway with my 2 small children with the ac on when all of a sudden all the gauges in the car dropped to zero and the car inside became very hot and the steering wheel tightened up. I immediately gripped the wheel as tight as i could and moved to the side of the highway. I thought we were going to crash. I had no control over the vehicle, it was shutting itself down while i was driving. When i pulled over i had to force it into park. This is an extreme safety issue, we could have been hit and killed by another car. It happened so fast. Another incident that occurred today was that i parked in my driveway and tried to turn my car off and the key would not move or come out of the ignition switch. The car ran for a while and than shut off, but the headlights lights were blinking very fast and did that until the battery died and the key is still stuck in the ignition and will not come out. This is not the first time this has happened. Usually the key will come out after multiple attempts, but i have had to replace 4 batteries from the time i purchased this vehicle in march of last year until now. I will never buy a cadillac vehicle again.

I purchased a used 2007 cadillac cts in november 2009.from that time, it always hesitates with the first forward acceleration of the morning, and then has a forceful acceleration as it overcomes the hesitation/almost stalling, and then drives normally.as this was a new car for me, i thought that maybe the car needed to warm up due to the cold weather over winter.once the temperatures increased, the car continued to experience the problem - daily.the car is at the dealer again - 5th visit since march 2010.the first visit they found nothing, the second visit found a worn timing belt, third visit found nothing, fourth visit took 5 days and found connectivity errors with the drive-wire system.there was an erratic signal from tac module; replaced terminals circuit # 581 & #582 (throttle actuator). The repairs did not fix the issue and i took the car back after 3 days for the 5th visit.the dealer has indicated that they have replicated the problem, but do not know how to solve it.this complaint has been escalated up to the district-level support and i am now waiting for gm to send an engineer to the dealership to try to figure out how to solve the problem.it is frightening to drive a car that repeatedly wants to stall and then over-accelerates to overcome the problem causing the hesitation.it is also frightening that it is taking 5 visits for the dealer to recognize the serious nature of this problem, with no solution in sight.it is unsafe to drive a car that randomly tries to stall, and then overcompensates by a strong/forceful acceleration.

This prroblem has persisted ever since,regsrdless of the oil level. I inquied about this problem on the internet and several came back with "this is common for cadillacs and for me tostart carrying some oil in the trunk bbecausethese cars of this date had no oil gauge and therefore the revving noise was the only clue ithis car would give me thar it needs oil.. So i am confused! why is there no oil gauge in this car? expecially when it is equipped with a 3.6 high performance engine? .i don't know if this is true or not but i have been told that there was a lawsuit filed and right after the company started to install oil gauges in the newer models again. I cannot get any answers from dealers and i would like to know if there has been more of these concerns besides mine and what was the end results if any.

My car was running fine. Then my engine sounded like a loud truck. No warning came. The check engine lite never went on so i stop driving it till it went to the dealership because i was going to have it towed and when i started up the car the engine blew. I bought this car with a lifetime limited powertrain warranty and it covers the engine. The warranty is good for life as long as i own the car and keep up on all maintance at a gm dealership which i did for 8 yrs. The warranty company will not cover the cost of the repair because the dealership that i bought it from closed. I called gm and they will not do anything because they stated i need to go to the warranty company. Nothing states in my warranty if the dealership closes that my warranty is invalued. That is not right i feel that gm should pay the cost of this engine because i believe my check engine lite was faulty.

I own a 2007 cadillac cts. On monday, march 17th, at 5:45am, i was driving south bound on i-75. While driving with the cruise control on, traveling around 77 mph, at about mile marker 88, i heard a large thud noise like something hit the underbody of the vehicle.

I got over to the shoulder at mile marker 87.

The car is running like it is stuck in some kind of safety mode. It does not want to accelerate unless it starts accelerating in third gear. It does not come out of 3rd gear at all. The engine light and airbag lights are lit up on the dash. There is a couple of recalls listed for the same exact year make and model but it says that this vin number is not under recall. I think that this vehicle needs to be inspected to see if it actually does need to be listed under those recalls. It is not just this one specific vin number having these issues either. I have talked to quite a few cadillac owners that are having the same problems and their vehicles are not listed under those recalls either. If you turn on the car you put it into drive the car remains stuck in 3rd gear and will not shift through the gears properly.

Of 2008 i've learned something more has happened to my car before i bought it.i've discovered my car has weld marks on the inside trunk area?the dealership owner says no way that happened on his lot that my car came from the manufacturer like that.the dealership owner can't explain the weld marks on my car. Again i bought this car brand new. I've been through lots of tears with the performance of my car & now it's been damaged too.my car still has performance problems to this day. I've even learned that a couple of my accessories that i paid lots of $$$$ for the dealership to install where done poorly.

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.

Yes i been having problem with transmission at first brought car couple months later the car would not back up so got that granny rebuilt and then four and half years later have problem with tyranny again but now as you put foot on pedal the car go for only bout 5 or 10 minute then it would slow down then would just stop when put foot on pedal. Wiper would not turn off on it own only when you take fuse out the radio stop working n the bright light would turn on by its self every time you put on turn sign on at night.

I am the owner of this 2007 gm product. Itook my car to frankel cadillac 1/09/15 , invoice number 60596 and i was never notified that there were recommended recalls on my vehicle. On that date there were some problems related to the wiring on the absand ebtm and i denied the service to be done there because i was quoted a cost of over 2,500 dollars and i was informed that it might escalate to 3500 if an abs pump needed to be replaced also. I later had the work done at young's located in woodlawn for a lot less. Inow problems with the power train and the anti theft system and have the auto in gregg's repair , 5050 wabash ave. I also saw on line that the on star operation is able to release the anti theft mode. I have been quoted a price of 886 dollars plus change by gregg's cadillac . I am able to drive the vehicle, but in order to get the key out, the battery has to be disconnected. I am perplexed that i was never notified about the recalls on this vehicle. With all of the noted problems i was in motion. I was stopped by the police for the brake light in the city and i was driving on the highway when the anti theft mode went into operation.

Not on my vehicle, but notice on other vehicles, particularly newer model cadillac's, that the led taillights result in a strobing after-effect image when i am driving or riding in a car and one of these types of taillights comes into my field of vision.it is very uncomfortable as well as distracting as it briefly (2-3 seconds) interferes with my vision.i am aware of this happening to other people as well (both family members as well as other complaints found online).this does not occur for me with "regular" incandescent or halogen type bulbs.i do not have any eye conditions or visual problems other than wearing regular eyeglasses.

I seen there is a recall but on website it's not showing up

Rear differential seal leaking midas told me when i had the oil changed right after i got the car exactly one year and one day ago today and there is like a weird noise when i drive but if i turn the heat or air in it stops

Vehicle jerks when putting in gear.

This letter is pleading to be released from lease agreement and refunded the money invested in my car. I?m no longer happy with the quality of the cadillac cts and the number of recalls associated with these vehicles. In essence, i have been leased two new vehicles that were lemons according to lemon laws in the state of virginia. I have hadthe same safety problem repaired more than three times with both cars.at this point, i am truly nervous to drive my car, more so after reading the many reports of people experiencing car fires, suddenly losing control of their car on the highway, and gears locking up.most importantly, the car is not safe and i?m scared to continue to subject myself and young children to possible injuries because of the power drain safety problems i?ve experienced before and after the recall.to date, my 2007 cts has been repaired 4 times for the axle/differential. I?m not an expert but in my findings, the power train deals with differential unit, axle assembly, shaft seal leak, and the automatic transmission. Luckily, these repairs were covered under the warranty. However, the service department is just applying a band aid to the situation. I?m concerned about what might happen next time and who will be responsible for future expenses when the warranty expires.as a result of all this, i would like to be released from the remainder of my lease agreement and refunded the payments made to gmac due to the lemon law.i have never been late on making payments on my cars. As of june 2008, i have paid $14,187.80 towards my 2007 cts and look forward to being compensated for a car not mechanically suitable to drive.your response will be greatly appreciated. Should you need additional information, i can be reached at 301-332-4329. Thanks in advance for time and attention on this matter.respectfully,lajuan howard

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts.while driving 50 mph in the rain, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle spun out.the vehicle crashed into the barrier in the middle of the road.there were no injuries.the vehicle was destroyed and had to be towed from the scene.a police report was filed.the vehicle was purchased from the dealer in june of 2008 and they were aware of nhtsa campaign id number 07v589000 (power train:axle assembly:axle shaft:seal), but never informed the contact.she received a recall notice after the crash occurred.the failure mileage was 33,200.

I am concerned about a know differential issue with the cadillac cts. In forums every where i am reading that the differential first leaks and then grenades. I know you are only requesting information when it grenades, but i think issues should be stated immediately! i don't want to be driving down the road with children in the car and have problems then. I contacted cadillac first and received the heisman stiff arm. I think this is a significant flaw in the cts dating back to 2004 and should have a recall!

2007 cadillac cts began making a loud humming noise. Had the rear driver side wheel bearing changed but the noise continued. On way home from work the following day on i75 driving 70mph which is the speed limit, the car started making a loud clunking sound and was nearly impossible to steer.nearly had accident while trying to get to shoulder of road.was informed by mechanic that "the rear end went out of your car because you didn't have any differential fluid left in it" when i asked how that could happen the mechanic said there must have been a leak of some kind. Started researching and found there was a recall on the car 4 years before i purchased it.when i called gm at 800-458-8006 i was told by automated phone system there is an open recall on my vehicle #07204e and 10355c so asked to speak with a representative and the lady from manilla in the philippines (because that's where their customer care center is???) informed me that there is "no open recall on your car" even after i tried to explain the automated service had just given me 2 open recall numbers for my vin # ...she said she couldn't help me find service for my car.

2007 cadillac cts. Consumer had a rebuilt transmission with rebuilt torque installed and would like to be reimbursed. *ssthe consumer stated the vehicle had been jerking and hesitating, while driving.

I was driving down the road and heard a terrible clunk followed by grinding. I stopped to look under the car because i thought something fell out or of the car. I got it to a repair shop and the rear differential went out because it had been leaking. I had contacted cadillac earlier in the 2014 to check on recalls and was told that my car was not under recall. I think it should've been under recall. I read that this is a big problem with the cts, but cadillac refuses to make it right on older models. I am just glad i wasn't driving at 70 mph or somebody could've been killed. I am $2,200 in the hole now...

Car consumed so much oil that timing chain tensioners caused timing chains issues that caused car to stop running.

On 4/02/2015 i was driving my vehicle when suddenly i heard a explosion type sound and it would not move.i was doing approximately 30 to 35 mph. I pulled to the side of the road to inspect the vehicle when i saw oil coming out from the back of the car i called aaa and they towed me to my home were i did research and found that cadillac cts from 2005-2007 were having problems with the rear differential. So i contacted cadillac div. Directly and was given a case # 71-1463000661 they contacted coral cadillac dealer and they came picked up my car and had it inspected they confirmed that the car has powertrain problems but the mechanic says that there is a possibility they will not cover the fees to repair it due to the vin # of my vehicle does not have a recall for that issue> at this point i do not understand my car has experienced everything in the original recall for that make, model and year. Please help.....

2007 cadillac cts-43,000 miles-driving at 50 mph when car downshifted to second gear and would not change back to drive until i shifted to neutral and back to drive. Had this happened at 70 mph or had it shifted to low gear it could have caused a major accident.(did not press .on accelerator to cause the car to shift into another gear).

07 cadillac cts was driven and parked. I minute later it was on fire, started on top of transmission in interior. Extinguished in another 2 minutes but damage exceeded $20,000. Gm product liability and esis dragging feet on warranty claim or relief for > 2 months, insurance says cigarette (don't smoke) dealer wont do anything for fire event.cause is defective catalytic cnvtr/transmission but no help from gm, dealer, warranty, i've offered photos fire report, etc. Insurance wants to settle quick and salvage. I need to keep for gm evaluation for safety defect-they aren't very interested or helpful. No car, no warranty relief but luckily no injury. Can gm be pressed to resolve liability to the owner in a timely manner?, do they even care if i ignore insurance pressure to keep car available to gm inspect for root cause?thank you

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts.in feb of 2008, the vehicle was taken to the dealer for nhtsa campaign id number 07v58900 (power train:axle assembly:axle shaft:seal); however, the vehicle was not repaired correctly.the transmission module was recently replaced and the manual gear failed.recently, the rear rotors failed.a complaint was filed with the manufacturer and they stated that they would not assist with the repairs because the vehicle was over 30,000 miles.in addition, the warranty was expired.the failure mileage was 15,000 and current mileage was 38,000.updated 12/02/08.*ljupdated 12/03/08.

Can not get local dealership to perform recall work on vehicle. I have also contacted gm and they merely reiterated what the dealer says. "no seals". They are saying rear seals for 2007 cadillac cts are on back order and they do not know when they will get more. Meanwhile vehicle sounds like you are running over someone when you put it in reverse and proceed to back up. Meanwhile i am driving an unsafe vehicle. I am afraid to drive my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts.the contact received a safety recall notice for nhtsa campaign id number 07v589000 (power train:axle assembly:axle shaft:seal) in february of 2008.he has called the dealer more than twice concerning the availability of the parts for the recall repair.he most recently called the dealer on april 2, 2008 and was informed that the part would not be available for at least two more months.there had been no failure to date.the purchase date was unknown.the current mileage was 10,000.

Cadillac cts 2007rear differential brokewas driving on the high way and suddenly lost control of the car.the back wheels locked completely.no apparent trigger.put on brakes (i was scared i was close to the edge of the overpass), shut off the car and the smoke dissipated.no warning at all; no other damage but quite terrifying.cadillac was extremely responsive and has replaced the rear differential.

I own a 2007 cadillac cts-v.since purchased the vehicle has been leaking differential fluid from numerous points of rear end assembly.i have taken the vehicle to service 5 times and five times the problem was not corrected.the differential assembly on theses types of cadillacs are very weak and not able to withstand the power of the vehicle. I think this is deffinetly a safety concern and have done much research and found numerous complaints from other cts-v owners who have had complete differntial failure where the unit has blown up into several peices which may cause loss of control of vehicle.i think something should be done to correct this problem from the manufacturer.in my case they changed numerous seals and gaskets but after driving vehicle home the leaks always reoccur from the unit flexing because its weak

This complaint is to ensure that all of the following cadillac modes have been removed, recalled, repaired from the new/used automotive dealerships, auto auctions, etc.2007 cadillac cts, sts, srx.

Driving approximately 65 mph on i64 in virginia when gears locked up and lost all acceleration. Pulled off to the side and could smell a burning sensation, car then would not move. Back wheels locked up and when car attempted to be moved for a tow, entire back end rattled and grinded. Took vehicle to the dealer as it is still under warranty and has only 15k miles, dealer reported that it was an "exploded rear differential." all parts were replaced by dealer, who remarked they had replaced many rear differentials in the past yet has never seen one explode like that before. Luckily, driver remained in control of car and pulled over at the very instant there was a problem otherwise this could have resulted in a catastrophic loss while traveling at a high speed on the interstate.

2007 cadillac cts has issues with the clutch and flywheel.consumer states that gm indicated that the clutch, flywheel and actuator burnt out due to driver wear and tear. *nj(lawyer wrote in on behalf of his client)

Front passenger seat belt.

Cadillac refuses to repair front passenger seatbelt recall because "your vehicle was not one under the recall."

Front passenger seat belt.

The passenger seat no longer recognizes a person is sitting in the seat.therefore, the seat belt "alarm" does not activate when the seat belt is unfastened.i do not know if the air bag would activate if needed in a crash.first noticed 7/27/2016.

Front brake lines rusted causing loss of brake fluid.

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts.the contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the front brake pulsated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic for inspection. The front rotors were found to be worn and the rear axle seal was corroded. The front rotors were replaced but the rear axle seal was not replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000 and the approximate current mileage was 50,400.

Most often when driving at speeds 15 mph or less and doing a turn (such as parking or going through a drive through), you cannot push in the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.you have to to rapidly press and depress the brake pad until the brakes engage and stops the vehicle before hitting the vehicle in front of you or some other object.i have also experienced this during an emergency stop at highway speeds. The vehicle has been to the dealer for repair.they were supposed to have fixed the problem.$1000 later the same problem is present.second issue with this vehicle, the anti-theft system periodically trips itself and the car cannot start for approximately 10 minutes.

While turning left at low speed the brakes failed so i centered the steering wheel and the car stopped.

I purchased this car as a used vehicle from atlantic cadillac in bay shore new york in april 2011. Several times since this purchase i have had trouble stopping.the brakes fail and service brake assist lights up on my dash. Also the abs and the traction control symbols light up on the dash. I have had the car to the dealer several times for this problem. I am told they cannot duplicate the problem. This is no way to handle a brake situation. This is very dangerous. I had my daughter in the car this morning in the school parking lot. Which i might add was full of students and cars, busses. This problem must be addressed before someone is killed. As soon as this happened this mornning i called the dealer again only to be given the same response the problem cannot be duplicated. I was not happy with how i was being treated at atlantic cadillac so the last few times i had problems i went to a dealer closer to my-home. King orouorke 756 smithtown bypass smithtown 631-724-4700.

Idn7-34821 i could not attach the pdf. November 2012 i was parallel parking and felt like my car slide before stopping. I had approximately 32,000 miles on it. About a week later i turned the wheel to park and again it felt like the car slid on something, the brakes made a noise, pulsated and didn't feel like they were going to stop.a day or so after that i went to park the car and this time the brakes pulsated, made a noise and would not stop. I was heading for a brick wall so i shifted the car into park. Each of these occurrences happened at speeds of approximately 5-10 mph when i went to park the car turning the wheel to the right. I took the car to the cadillac dealer and they told me they didn't know of any recall, after checking the car they diagnosed it as a front wheel speed sensor electrical failure. They replaced the hub & charged me $725.70. 3 weeks ago (august 2013) i went to park my car and started to feel the same pulsing of the brakes and sliding of the vehicle.a day later i was pulling into a parking space with my daughter & the car slid and the brakes pulsated my daughter immediately asked what happened she felt it too.on 9/6/13 i took my car with 35,630 miles on it to a different cadillac dealer they diagnosed it with several codes & replaced the electronic brake control module charging me $1,434.87. I picked the car up on 9/9/13 on 9/10/13 the same exact problem happened again. I emailed cadillac customer assistance 9/10/13 [xxx] called me on 9/11/13 & said they would contact me when to take it back to the dealer. I drove the car 1 more time and the same thing happened pulling into my garage. 9/16/13 [xxx] called to see if the problem was fixed i told him i was still waiting to hear from someone to bring it in to be repaired again, he said the customer care specialist would call me within 24 hours & i have heard nothing.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I replaced my brake lines being many others with the cts-v have had failure while driving.once removed, my lines were starting to crumble apart under the rubber where the hose connects to the fitting, just as expected.there is a recall for the base cts, but not for the cts-v, eventhough they both use the exact same part number for the brake lines.here is a photo of the part:[img]http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i424/sevilliansts/100_8187.jpg[/img].

I was driving and went to stop at parking space and the brakes failed and i hit the wall in the parking space.

Hello, i have had my brakes pulsate (with a grinding noise) then fail while making a hard right turn on several occasions since last summer. This only happens at slow speeds such as pulling into a parking spot.fortunately, i have not hit anything or anyone. I have had every recall fixed on my car up to date. I work next-door to a cadillac dealership and john, my service writer told me there are no recalls or bulletins. I am very conscious about how and where i park. Please help get the word out to this problem. Throwing money at parts not needed to fix the problem is very expensive, as you can read on the forum from others like me. Its just a matter of time before someone gets hurt. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

When coming to a stop from a slow speed the vehicle would not stop. I experienced this on several occasions, usually when driving in a neighborhood or pulling into a parking stall. I noticed that it only occurred when driving under 10-15mph. It would feel as if my brakes were slipping. My car would continue to ease forward, the brake pedal would pulsate and my entire front deck of the car would shake. To remedy the problem i would be forced to either pump my brakes, immediately shift the vehicle into park position, or remove the car keys. Thankfully, there has not been any impact and no one has been injured. My vehicle was covered under a certified-preowned luxury warranty offered through general motors. The local dealership serviced this car for this issue in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. All repairs would seem to temporarily mask the problem, but then it would reoccur. My warranty expired on may of 2013. In july 2013 i notified them that the brake issue was beginning again and at a higher frequency than before. The local dealership understood the history of the problem and was going to offer the repair out of good will even with the expired warranty because it's been a documented issue with my vehicle. The warranty should fix the problem, since it hasn't, in my opinion, it should be covered. However, their claim was denied by general motors. General motors is refusing to fix my vehicle unless i pay for approximately $600 of the cost. I cannot afford $600 and feel that this should be the expense of general motors. I have 3 children and i work full time. This is a safety issue. I could drive into another car, oncoming traffic, a business establishment, a child. My vehicle should stop when the brake pedal is pressed immediately. I am highly dissatisfied with general motors attention to this and am making all the necessary documentation to ensure that this is not ignored.

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. While approaching a stop sign, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the pedal traveled all the way to the floor without stopping the vehicle. The contact had to apply the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the same failure occurred in september of 2018 and june of 2015. The vehicle was taken to baker cadillac (495 main st, leominster, ma 01453), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 127,034.

No brakes during slow right turn into a parking space. Brake pedal began to pulsate, car was not stopping as it should but stopped at a concrete barrier, the braking recovered. Problem first started on jan. 2012. Took car to cadillac of las vegas for diagnostics. Invoice no. 419185. Dealer was unable to recreate problem. The same problem recurred approximately one year later, 2013 but car has not been taken to dealership since due to other personal issues.

The contact owned a 2007 cadillac cts. While attempting to make a turn at approximately 15 mph, the vehicle independently veered to the right and unintentionally accelerated without warning. In addition, the vehicle experienced a loss of steering and the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to respond. As a result, the contact crashed into a tree. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a neck injury and pain to the right knee and foot that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard where it was deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not provided.

Front brake line broke at junction between rubber portion of the line and the metal portion of the line, at a fitting that was covered by a rubber boot that allowed water to remain trapped, corroding the fitting.this occurred shortly after starting up, while travelling at 25mph towards a red light with a stopped car. The brake pedal fell to the floor rapidly, and a further pump of the brake did nothing to appreciably stop the car.there is a recall for this very issue that covers this make/model (2007 cts-v), but gm states that my car was not affected. Furthermore, car was at the dealership three months prior for brake work.

While driving the car with two children inside it we approached a busy intersection and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the car did not even slow down. Pumping the brakes did not work either. We went right through the stop sign by swerving around other cars. Luckily there were no pedestrians crossing and thanks to other drivers being very alert there was no accident, but it was very close and terrifying. We allowed the car to coast to a stop and then had to push it to a side street to get out of the main roadway. The car still had a full reservoir of brake fluid (no fluid leaks) and had no brake system warning lights at all illuminating on the dash. Brake pad and rotors were only a month old. We are having the car towed to a cadillac dealership today.

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. While driving approximately 5 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and pulsated while traveling to the floorboard. The steering sensor illuminated upon reversing. In addition, the stabilitrak sensor illuminated when making a left turn. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brakes needed to be replaced along with abs sensors and the stabilitrak. In addition, the contact mentioned that the tires would wear out prematurely. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

I noticed that occasionally my car brakes would stop working a push back at me with a pulsing feeling when i was trying to stop.this happened to me 6-7 times intermittently when driving very slowly and turning,it wasn't something that i could re-create each time.next i received an intermittent in-dash message that stated "service brake assist" that would come on for a few seconds then disappear.it didn't always appear when the brakes were not working. This would typically happen when parking in a parking space, slowly making a sharp turn. I actually hit concrete parking buffer one day because i couldn't stop.in taking my car to the dealer i was told the electronic brake control module needed to be replaced. And that the right front wheel and hub bearing needed to be replaced due to the ebcm.the cost was about $2000.00.i've researched this issues and am seeing many cts owners with the same issue.i feel this needs to be addressed.the public needs to be notified that this is an issue with the vehicle.it is extremely scary to find out that your brakes are not working.i have two small children that travel with me often. Vehicle owners need to be aware of the brake issue with this vehicle and cadillac needs to be responsible in fixing the problem and not waiting for people to bring in their cars until their brakes are not working.brakes are a must have on a car and this is a public safety issue.

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. The contact stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall for the brakes, which solely addressed the cadillac cts-v models. The contact was uncertain if the failure was related to the recall. The contact stated that there was the presence of a leak in the rear of the vehicle. Without warning, the brake lines fractured. The vehicle was inspected and the independent mechanic found premature rust, corrosion, and a fracture. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was currently unable to be driven due to the failure. The nhtsa campaign number was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

As i was backing out of a parking space and proceeded to drive forward and to come to a stop the brake pedal went straight to the floor i almost rear ended another vehicle as i hit the emergency brake in time to stopmy question is there a recall for this as it never gave warning anything was wrong on the dash or otherwise.

The contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. While driving low speeds, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to engage. The contact mentioned that she used the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The contact kept driving with the emergency brake engaged. The vehicle was taken to david's auto sales inc (1804 s peterson ave, douglas, ga 31535, (912) 384-8570) and was informed that the vehicle was involved in a flood and had holes underneath the vehicle, which caused deterioration. The dealer also informed the contact that they could not assist because the vehicle was purchased "as is'. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

Montgomery, al. July 22, 20112007 cadillac cts: brakes fail when making turn at slow speeds, such as into driveway, parking spot etc, and car continues to move forward in a slide.. Dealer claims there are no brake problems and that they can't replicate problem. After speaking with several other owners who have the same problem, i "googled" the issue and found numerous complaints regarding the same situation and all indicatingt he dealerships were either unaware, unwilling or unable to resolve the problem. Finally i accidentaly bumped a car on the church parking lot on 7/10/2011 and i took the car in on 7/11/2011 for the 5th time since i purchased it on 8/24/2010. I told them now i don't want it back again until it is fixed, because i almost hit the owner of the vehicle, he had just step away from the trunk of his car, and i was trying to stand up on these brakes, but the car would not stop , it just rolled into the back of their car, thank god i was going very slow.my car was returned to me on 7/17/2011 and they claim to have fixed it this time, so far it has been a week and i haven't had a problem yet . If this has fixed the problem, i will put another message in here to let others know what the dealership says they did to repair my car.

On a 2007 cadillac cts the rear right brake hose is designed and assembled in such a way that it comes in contact all the time with a sharp edge of a metal bracket. This interference lead to an erosion on the hose that is close of perforating the hose at only 58,000km. I guess that for older cars and/or much mileage, this hose was already perforated. This car already had a recall for the front brake hoses, that were replaced. But for the rear hose there is no recall, although the danger is much greater. Will contact gm and then ask for a replacement of the hose under warranty.

2007 cadillac cts, when brakes is depressed brakes becomes hard and car does not stop, this occurs quite often once every 2 weeks, i have taken the car to the dealer twice, and both time they told me that they could not find any problems

My cadillac cts has a manual shift transmission. Unfortunately cadillac installed a foot emergency brake on my car. When stopped on a hill the vehicle rolls backwards when you engage the gear because they installed a foot emergency brake instead of a hand emergency brake. With a hand brake you can ease off the brake while you engage the drive train. With the foot brake you cannot ease off the emergancy brake its either on or off.this creates a problem when setting on an hill.its impossible to keep the car from moving backwards when engaging the drive train on a hill.

This year got my all change said i had oil n water pump leak car have bout 220000 miles on it

I was giving a recall paper in the mail , so i took my car to the address listed on the reform. The dealership didn't do the recall. The reason they decided not to do it was because i didn't have the correct keys and was told ' you car doesn't need it, it doesn'thave that problem unless you have the original key'. I tried contacting the manufacturer to confirm this clam but they left me on hold. I have the impression they didn't want to do the service for free.i just want to know weather my car is safe to drive.

My oil keeps running low every 2 months and makes a loud clicking sound. Was told that my oil is burning and that they don't know why. Vehicle is in motion when it starts to jerk and starts kicking back and make knocking noise in the engine

Timing chain stretched or premature wear.
