2006 Cadillac Cts. Four separate incidents in less than two years where the rear differential, pinion seal has leaked at highway speeds causing smoke, noise and rendered the car un-drivable. Four separate tows, four separate strandings. Two of the strandings were in the middle of the night. Blogs and discussions I have read indicate this problem is wide spread. Some report the rear axle locking up and causing a situation that could have been life threatening. The car has been to four separate Cadillac dealer repair facilities and each time they just bubble-gum repair (replace the defective seal) and send me on my way hoping that my warranty will expire before the same old problem happens again. I no longer have confidence in the car. I rent when I must travel out of town. This car is going to get me killed and likely some other innocent people when the rear end locks-up on the freeway at 75 mph. The incident date noted below is only the most recent. The car was towed 40 miles to fisher Chevrolet Cadillac in yuma, arizona and remains there as of this date.

I called for road service 2 hours from home they towed car to an area dealer who later called to inform me the rear differential failed and gm had refused to pay for service. I had the car towed to my local dealer at my expense, at my dealers request. They informed me that gm said the car had excessive tire wear and damage was caused by driver abuse or aggressive driving I was forced to hire an attorney and pay for a vehicle I couldn't drive for several months. Late in August 05 Cadillac agreed to pay for the repair. 01/07 27,000 miles I was driving the Cts-v changed gears from 2nd to 3rd approx 30 mph heard a clunk and rear end started to whine I parked the car, called road side service ,they towed the car to the dealer.
