Purchased vehicle 11- 2011 (65,498) 10-(2012) first ck engine light issue and every year since then I've taken it back to the dealership service for ck engine light last three years 2014-thry-16 now 17 the vehicle shuts off while I'm driving or sitting waiting for the traffic light to change this is a issue for me because I'm worried about getting rear ended my vehicle is in the kerbeck Cadillac service dealer since 1/19/2017 for the same issue check engine light came on and park to shift I've complain to gm customer service and case number on this issue , but they can't seem to fix their own vehicle in the mean time I', still paying for a unsafe vehicle , if the maker of the car can't correct their own issue then who can, why does issue have to fall in the consumer lap ? why do I have to drive and pay for this unsafe vehicle. No-one wants to correct this issue why keep giving me that CT back if they can't correct this safety issue ,they keep blaming it on the mileage then why sell these vehicle with the outrage price tags knowing that it that be a safety issue in a few years once the vehicle is over 100,000 miles I've had the vehicle for five years (just put approx another 66,000 miles, so they are using this as excuse then don't sell cars with high miles . They should think about consumer safety not just the money. In the beginning the vehicle would be stationary then years pass while car is in motion city driving.

This Cadillac make & model does not have an american engine, a fact that was not disclosed to me upon purchase. The engine light has came on several times in the past and dealership would mess with wires under seat and somehow get the light to go off and tell me it was the airbags that would make the sensor go off. Then when I pay my last note and get to 100,000 they decide to reveal to me that the same engine light defect means real engine problems. So after letting two more highly recommended mechanics diagnose the problem I was told by both that this was not an american engine but a very cheap german engine and that they had a large number of people having the same problem, with some having to sell their car for scrap metal. I am very upset to say the least and would never buy another Cadillac. I would like to contact other Cadillac owners that had this problem and bring a class action lawsuit.

I purchased this car in January of 2010 from apple Chevrolet Cadillac located in york PA. When I purchased this car I bought it used however it still had the remaining manufactures powertrain warranty. It had 51,554 miles on it at the time of purchase. On Feb 9, 2011 I reported to heritage Cadillac in belair MD. That I had an issue with the check engine light coming on and that I want to have that take care of before the warranty ran out. When I took the car there I was told that since the light had went out before I got there, there was no way they could tell what was wrong which I found out to be false because months later they were in fact able to check it with the check engine light being off. To make a long story short, since the first incident I have take my car back to heritage Cadillac 10 times for the same problem and I have paid them $4,212. 08 (to maintain and allegedly repair the problem of the check engine light) today is November 15, 2012 and the light is still on. I have been told that they don't really know what is wrong and that they had to contact a Cadillac manufacture to get information but I will have to pay another $3,100 to fix the problem which may be fuel injectors and a transmission control module. I feel that my wife and I have been and are being take advantage of in this situation by a certified Cadillac service center. This problem should have been resolved when I first brought it to their attention when the car was still under warranty.
Catalytic converter failed at approximately 83,000 miles. Check engine light comes on and the manufacturer and the dealer replaced the converter. At 93,000 miles, received check engine light warning again and the code indicates that the catalytic converter is a problem. The side affect is that the car lacks power when having a need accelerate. Gm has recalled the 2005 converter, but not the 2006.
2006 Cadillac cts - check engine light has been on for 2 years; car has been stalling and/or failing to start when weather is called since March, 2007.
Check engine light continues to illuminate even though I have changed both O2 sensors twice. Dealer keeps telling me I need another O2 sensor. Aldata shows a software upgrade is neede to correct the problem.
