2006 Cadillac CTS review from North America
"I no longer feel safe in this vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On 12/05/2006, with only 5,960 miles on the vehicle, the rear differential carrier seized causing the rear tires to lock completely while traveling 65 mph on a major highway. Luckily, no one was injured or killed. Dealer claims that they have been experiencing problems with the new CTS models where the rear pinion seals have been leaking. Even so, Cadillac has yet to issue a recall. So if you own a CTS, you might consider having the dealer check the seals before someone is seriously injured or even killed.
General comments?
GM was very uncooperative with providing me with a different vehicle even after experiencing the scare of my life. They wouldn't even put new tires on the vehicle to compensate for the wear and tear caused by the excessive skidding on the highway.
