#21 of 40 CTS TRANS PROBLEMS by golfnut5 Feb 22, 2007 (4:49 pm)
Hi all. I had a 2003 CTS (automatic) and had the bucking, jerking from the trans at 53,000 miles. I had many other problems with my CTS prior to the Tranny problem such as rear-end whine, anti-lock brake problem, CD player jamming and speaker problems. CD player had to be replaced twice. I traded my CTS upon the tranny problem for an Acura TL (not one problem in 75,000 miles). What upset me was my CTS was the most fun car to drive that I have ever owned and I hated to part with it, but all the problems beat me down. I am very interested in the 08 CTS and with the 100,000 warranty on the drive train could bring me back to the CTS. I hope GM has made improvements in their quality.

The car always hesitated when shifting from reverse to drive. Two weeks ago, the car would not move in reverse. I had to be pushed out of a parking space by three people. I took it to the dealer Curry Cadillac in NY. They told me that they could not recreate my complaint. So they drove it around the parking lot and let the car sit for 3 days. They did nothing. All of a sudden the car must have fixed itself. I know the transmission is on the verge of a breakdown. But, the Cadillac dealer didn't want to acknowledge a problem nor did the corporate office. When I called they refused to put a supervisor on the phone. It appears Cadillac doesn't stand by its cars, warranty or service. Has anyone else experienced this...because I'm going to tell everyone in my church, job and sorority to bypass Cadillac.

Duplessis Cadillac here in Baton Rouge,LA gave me the runaround and after four trips, I gave up. It's hard being a female trying to get some honest service. Its been over a year and I still havent had anyone who can tell me exactly whats the cause and most who dont want to tackle a cadillac because of the risks involved. The service was so horrible at the dealer here I just decided I would try one more time at the next Cadillac dealer (that's60+ miles away in Metaire) and if they cant fix the issue or at least determine what the issue is, I'm trading this car in for an Acura. I love my car, but not the problems and not being able to go to you local dealer and get HONEST service. Replies to this message: sevenfeet0 (Jul 29, 2009 5:26 pm)

Replying to: star27 (Jul 19, 2009 3:26 pm) It's stories like this that makes me think that GM still has some problems with their dealer network which they need to shake out, which is why they want to purge a lot of the low performers. My dealer in Nashville (Andrews Cadillac) treats me like gold. A problem like yours would not would have never been allowed to let stand.   Just for some perspective, somebody locally in Nashville has a 1928 Cadillac Sport Phaeton. They recently brought it into Andrews as it needed service since the thing kept dying on the road (and overheating). Nobody outside of specialty shops deal in carburated L-head engines anymore. Parts? Ha! It took awhile (weeks) but the car is back in running shape. They even hired a detailer to clean it up (squirrels were using it to store nuts...literally). That's service.
