general problems of the 2006 Cadillac CTS

3/15/2018 console lite up, showing symbol for "emission control" problem appeared on my instrument panel while I was driving. 3/19/2018 had vehicle checked. Advised catalytic converter needs replacement. Cadillac contacted - they deny any recall issued. Vehice original mileage 91632.

On 07/26/2015 went to start car. It started ok, but then there was no power to dash non on my indicators came on, when I went to put the car in drive the gear shift would not move. So I went to turn the car off, at this point the key would not turn all the way to full off position and is stuck in the ignition, all night. This of course means the alarm would not go on. So key stuck in ignition, no alarm, no dash power. This of course by morning had killed a new battery of only 5 days old.

Around 3:30 p. M , I noticed my car was jerking very hard , it changed gears hard , I lost power , it was hard to pick up speed , and when I arrived home 20 minutes later , it started smoking uncontrollably.

Vehicle stopped twice on me without warning security light came on it stop while I driving I was turning and hit a hole in road.

I am reporting that I had an incident with my key being stuck in the ignition, the key could not be removed from the ignition. The car was taken to the dealer who said it was a computer problem. A refurbished part was used to replace the part in the ecm. It cost $791. 19 to correct the situation, within 5 days it happened again. The part was deemed faulty and replaced. Please review and determine if my car should have been on the recall list. Thanks.

I have read numerous complaints for the same issue I am reporting on the internet on various websites. The dealership mechanics can't determine the issues and something has to be done! the first time I experienced the problem I was slowly (less than 5mph) turning the steering wheel in the right direction into a parking space and the vehicle would not stop, it jumped the sidewalk, but stopped before hitting the building. I had the vehicle looked at by mechanics at the dealership and they were unable to replicate, but would guess manifold gasket, that’s a lot of money for a guess fix that may not resolve the problem. .

I was number 6 of persons to have a severe rollover wreck in the same spot. In a curve, my right front tire caught t the lip of a 3 foot deep concrete culvert in a driveway. It was 9 inches from the road edge. It flipped over front to on roof. I was trapped in car. My front airbag partially opened but not enough to keep my face and chest area from hitting and breaking the steering wheel. No other of 7 airbags deployed at all. Every window, including sunroof was totally broken out. Both front seats were crushed into the floor and too hot to touch. . Since it occurred in the country, I was saved by the neighbors calling for help. Onstar failed to notify anyone and the fire/emt man said car was 5 minutes away from going up in flames. My implants were both ruptured by hitting steering wheel and face cut up and bruised by glass and lack of full employment by driver airbag. I have photos showing car and airbag. The airbag was pristine clean with 2 large torn holes. No smoke or dust off any type. I still haven't driven in 21/2 years. Please give me your opinion. Thank you.

Failed inspection on 2006 Cadillac Cts because 3rd led brakelight was not working fully, I still have working brake lights but will not be able to get sticker rlated to safety failure if this a safety isssue then why are there so many other Cadillacs Cts with same exact problem. And the only place to get another 3rd brake light is fro the Cadillac dealers for $600. 00 I thought Cadillac was supppose to have life warranties this car was never in an accident and the light does work on one side. What do you do about such an expensive problem? shouldn>t this be a recall since this is considered a safety issue?.

Drivers side floor mat will not stay in place. The floor mat rolls up under the brake and gas pedal making it difficult to press both pedals. Have straighten it out every time before using car. Have removed it sometimes while on long trips to keep from causing accident.
