Are there any major engine or transmission problems with the 2004 and 2005 CTS cars?

#206 of 206 Cadillac 2006 CTS Noise Problem by midgey1 Nov 16, 2005 (11:32 am)

The engine (according to the dealer) on my 2006 Cadillac CTS makes a continual whining noise when accelerating or at a steady speed above 35 MPH, that the dealer says is normal.
  
Previously, the dealer told me it was my Differential and replaced it.
  
I'm very unhappy with the car and drive with the radio on at all times to drown out the car noises.

I have a major problem with my 2006 CTS.
 
The engine (according to the dealer) on my 2006 Cadillac CTS makes a continual howling/whining noise when accelerating and at a steady speed above 35 MPH, that the dealer says is normal.
 
They already replaced the Differential.

I have the same issue with my 2006 CTS3.6 that I just leased. this noise comes anytime when I accelerate, basically all the time. When I put in park position, rev the engine would not duplicate this problem, how do you have this problem fixed? Thanks

2003 CTS, I'm original owner. Just hit 100k miles and blew a head gasket. Cadillac is refusing to assist but I'm still trying.

Rear Differential on a 05 Cadillac CTS by pokergirl

I have a 2005 Cadillac CTS with 7,000 miles on it.
 
There were no problems with my car until I brought it in to the Cadillac dealer 3 weeks ago to get the oil changed.
 
Since the oil has been changed, the car now makes a grinding noise when driving at low speeds.
 
I dropped off the CTS this morning at the dealer I purchased the car from to see if they could find any problems with the car.
 
The service manager left me a message late this afternoon saying the noise was the rear differential.
 
How concerned should I be about this?
 
I have no idea what a rear differential is or what it does.
 
Thanks for any help.

The rear differential is the assembly that transfers power from the engine to the rear wheels after going thru the transmission. This is a major concern in my opinion. It may run a long time before failing but the noise indicates improper setting of the ring and pinion gears in my opinion. Sorry but hope this helps you to understand.

cadillac cts bucking, surging problem by bill86
May 06, 2006 (2:23 pm)

I have a 2006 cts with manual transmission. The car has been troubefree and enjoyable for the first 5000 miles. At that point it developed a major surging and bucking when accelerating at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle in low gear and less pronounced in 2nd gear. There is no engine light and the dealer found no computer code so in their opinion it is not a problem, but it is to the driver. I'm now working with the factory to either fix or lemon law it. I'll keep you posted.
