general problems of the 2009 Cadillac CTS

The all wheel drive link is not working. This causes the stabilitrac and abs to go out leaving only rear wheel drive. With very little weight in the rear of the car, it is very difficult to drive in snow or rain conditions as the car slides very easily. This is the 2nd time it's happened.

Severe and sudden malfunction of the abs/stabilitrak system at 45mph causing loss of directional control of the vehicle. Failure caused by disintegration/cracking of abs/hub reluctor rings, feeding incorrect wheel speeds to stability system. This failure caused a total loss of power, vehicle veering right despite full left steering input, abs activation continuously (increasing stopping distance). Vehicle exited road due to loss of control.

While in motion on a highway, the all wheel drive off, service stabilitrak service, service traction control and service brake assist displayed on the dashboard. My brakes were affected for a while, then returned to normal. After that I have the same intermittently.

While driving suddenly I lost power steering, abs,power brakes, stability control, traction control. Parking assist and all wheel drive. Car was in motion on a city street. I was able to safely stop the car. All the proper warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. I was close to home so I returned home with no power steering or power brakes.

At first, the car wasn't running straight. When I drove straight on an interstate, the steering wheel was about five degrees clockwise. Therefore, I went to the local Cadillac dealer, [xxx], for a wheel alignment. After the alignment, the car ran pretty good, until it ran over a small bump on the road. When I ran over the bump, the car suddenly ran toward the right. I tried to turn left, but it didn't work for about half a second. After half a second, I controlled the car, and it worked fine. I made an u turn, and went to that place again, and it happened again. I went home, grab my meter and my thermometer, and went back to that place. The road temperature was 33. 1 degrees, and there was no ice on the road. The bump was about 4 inches over the road. I took the car to the dealer next day, and they checked almost everything. However, they're unable to identify the problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

We were leaving a diner parking lot in the afternoon, when I had to stop for a delivery truck blocking our exit. When the truck pulled forward I lightly pressed the accelerator and the car began to surge forward and to our left(my wife was in the car with me). I pressed down on the brakes and the car continued forward and began to turn to the right and I tried to steer the car to the left but the steering did not respond resulting in my hitting two parked cars. I had the car towed to the Cadillac dealer. The dealer indicated that there was nothing wrong with the car and suggested that the surge was caused my a secondary car mat but could not explain the steering problem. This same situation occurred during our severe snow storm last winter. At the time I assumed it was due to icing conditions on the road and my dealer indicated that they had reset the car codes to correct any errors(stability control light stayed on).

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that there had been multiple failures with the vehicle ever since it was purchased. The vehicle was taken back and forth several times to mcelwain motor car company Chevrolet (812 beaver Ave, ellwood city, PA 16117, (724) 824-1223) due to the wheels, wheel bearings, and brake system corroding. The contact had not utilized the emergency brake out of fear that it may not work when needed. Also, the service engine indicator illuminated the last time the dealer dropped off the vehicle. An independent mechanic stated that there were two diagnostic trouble codes for the timing chain. The manufacturer refused to honor TSB: 11340c (special coverage adjustment timing wear) even though the vehicle had less than 120,000 miles. The manufacturer indicated that the dealer may need to replace the timing chain and to have the vehicle repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer provided no coverage of the special adjustment campaign. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.
