Clarkster, Best of luck with your new CTS, I'm envious. I'm still holding out for the coupe but I'm definitely weakening and you didn't help any. After seeing un camoflagged pictures of the new Camaro I'm more concerned than ever that the CTC will be a Camaro clone with Caddy front and rear. That would make this 2 year wait a total dud for me. Again, best of luck

I was pulling up to a stop sign in my 2008 CTS awd/direct injection when all of a sudden the car accelerated. I thought I had hit the gas instead of the brake. The engine was racing and I finally put it in neutral and shut the engine off. I re started and the car seemed OK. I drove for 2 miles and pulled up a hill, the car almost did not make the crest of the hill. After parking I noticed check engine light was on. I called On Star for a diagnostic check. On Star reported they received two notices from my cars computer: 1. transmission problem and 2. shifting mechanism problem. Diagnostic report gave instructions to take car to dealer immediately. I plan to be at dealer Monday at 7:30AM when service opens. |

This is a note of interest to potential 2008 Cadillac CTS buyers. Ten years ago all Cadillac's came with a built in "garage door opener" but one can spend $43,000 for the 2008 CTS with luxury upgrades and have a car that doesn't have a garage door opener. The car manual shows one installed as standard equipment but I have this car and General Motors has gone on record to say that one cannot be installed on my car. The compartment for this equipment is on the car but no wiring has been installed for this provision. This is a big disappointment for a car that is highlighted by General Motors as the Cadillac of the year.

Replying to: jpenn (Jan 06, 2008 4:48 am)  ...but what on Earth would make you think the CTC will be a rebadged Camaro? They are not even on the same architecture yet (Zeta Camaro vs Sigma CTS). Did Cadillac create the CTS as a rebadged G8? NO! Don't worry. GM is back on track and as we have seen from the GMT900s, CTS, Malibu, and Enclave, every successive launch from here on out will be extraordinary.

For the price you are paying most of those options should not be options. My 2002 minivan ($35,000 cdn, $28,000 us) had the homelink (with garage door opener) as stardard. Maybe you can add it later, in case you forgot.

On November 28th I requested the Cadillac dealer to order me the DI, white diamond, performance collection package, luxury level one package, wood trims, spare tire and chrome wheels. The dealer called on December 26th and said the car would be delivered within a week. I asked him for the vin number so I could verify the order. When I went on line and checked the vin, I found that the dealer had added the performance luxury package which included the luxury level 2 package that I didn’t want and had left off the chrome wheels which I did want. I called the dealer and asked him about the order and he said "wait until the car is delivered and see what’s not correct". I did not want to wait. The next day I went to the dealer with a copy of the window summary showing what would be on the car. The dealer tried to convince me that the only way to get the luxury level package was to take the performance luxury package. After I showed them one of their own brochures with luxury level one as a stand alone option they dropped that argument. I told them I wanted to reorder the car. The dealer responded “they were too busy and I would have to come back next week to reorder”. I said no thanks and left. The next day, December 28th, I went to another dealer across town and ordered another CTS. I'm hoping this time they get it right!!!
