In Feb of 2008, the vehicle was taken to the dealer for NHTSA campaign id number 07v58900 (power train:axle assembly:axle shaft:seal); however, the vehicle was not repaired correctly.

1) I took my car in on 3/30 complaining of a leaking rear differential. I was informed nothing was wrong with the vehicle. 4/20 I was driving on the highway at normal speeds. I down shifted and heard a loud bang. The engine revved yet the car wouldn't move. The rear differential had quite literally exploded. 2) the housing to the rear differential shattered causing one of the bolts to come out and the remainder of the housing to hang at an angle. The internals of the differential looked as though a grenade had been set off in them. The passenger side rear half shaft was hanging out of the housing. 3) I'm currently locked in a fight with my local Cadillac dealership. They are trying to refuse warranty.

I was simply driving "normally" and a "clunk" was heard from the rear of the car. The vehicle was not drivable. It had to be put on a flat bed truck and taken to the dealer. The right hand half shaft broke it two pieces and destroyed the differential in the process.

Shifting the vehicle from 1st gear to second gear and upon releasing the clutch there is a loud bang. Half shaft broken. This is the second time the rar end of one of my Cts-v's has broken.
