Vibration in drivetrain at speeds between 45 and 55 mph.

The contact owns a 2006 Cadillac Cts. While driving 60 mph at night, the vehicle shut off and lost total power. When the failure occurred, the vehicle continued to roll as if it were in neutral. There were no warning indicators prior to the failure. The contact feels that this is a safety hazard because it could have resulted in a serious crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice for repair for the same failure in feburary of 2008 and June 17, 2008. The first time the cause of the failure was identified as a glitch with the computer switch that controls the transmission. At the second visit, the shop explained that they could not identify the failure. It would have to recur in order for them to diagnose the failure properly. The current and failure mileages were 43,000.

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 stated new vehicle did not have any transmission fluid in it when he bought it. The transmission failed and it was in the shop being rebuilt. The bolts on the wheels were all torqued over specifications, and had a flat tire, and that was the reason he took vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle seized as he was driving into the parking lot. The bolts broke off in the wheel as they were trying to remove the tire. This occurred on 9-6-05.

Loud high pitch howling noise heard from inside at approximately 40 mph and over. The first trip to the dealer I was told it was a wind noise. The second time at the dealer's I was told it is a normal characteristic of the 2003 Cts.

Have a noise in rear-end when accelerating up to speeds. When letting up on accerlator noise quits, but as soon as I give it gas it hums( like) very loud. Have had two Cadillac dealers check it and told not to worry about it nothing is wrong and that , that' is the characteristic of the 2004 Cts. This is hard for me to believe since I have had 8 Cadillac over the years and have never had a problem of this nature.
