The car has unbelievable oil consumption. I was traveling from illinois to iowa to visit my father. During the first 4 hours, I had to add 4 quarts of oil. Than 20 minutes from our destination, we hear a pop, the car stops running, no brakes and I am doing 70 mph in the left lane with no power steering. I luckily get the car to the right side of the road. Called a tow truck and tow it to a mechanic who tells me I need a new engine. Upon researching any issues with Cts, I find numerous blogs with customers with the same car and issues. Many of who complained to Cadillac. Why has the manufacturer not done anything to correct this, notify customers and prevent any injuries or worst a potential death. What are they waiting for? they know about the blogs because their representative was on there after someone suggested a class action lawsuit trying to defuse the situation.
