I have had numerous problems with my 2004 Cadillac Cts. The most recent is with my rear differential. The latest problem with the differential prompted an online search with the results showing that each of the problems I have had with my Cadillac Cts is one that has happened with 1000's of other 2004 Cts model Cadillacs.
While entering a parking place, my brakes failed to engage. The abs system warning appeared and also the traction control warning illuminated, as I struck a restraining post. This could have been tragic if a person had been infront of the vehicle. Less than 2 weeks prior to this I had a complete brake service and replacement of all worn equipment. Now I am conscerned for anyone driving this vehicle or anyone walking in front of this vehicle. I took the car back into my local garage to have the brakes rechecked. They found no problem. My plan was to take the car to the gm dealership where I purchased the car, yet, I find that this is a common problem and gm refused to help others with the same problem. They, others with the same problem, spent lots of money and to no avail. The problem has not been repaired at the dealerships and have left the customers very dissatisfied.
Bought car in 4-2009. First throttle went out within 20 days, replaced by dealer. Dealer went bankrupt within a month. Second throttle replaced 8-2010, third 2-2011, and fourth throttle went out yesterday (4-4-2011. ) one gm dealer refused to make repair, calling car a "problem child. " (I. E. Lemon) another said they did not want to, but would replace throttle, but would not handle the warranty. I have called gm at least five times, talking for hours, and they refuse to think this is their problem. I have repeatedly brought up the dangerous situation a throttle going out creates when the car looses power in the middle of a busy street. They just don't care. Gm does have a service bulletin out on throttle problems. I have put @ 5,000 miles on the car since purchase in 2009.
