#2726 of 2757 Re: Technical Service Bulletins [cafpaf] by 150mphclub Mar 26, 2009 (10:39 am)
Replying to: cafpaf (Mar 25, 2009 12:41 pm) "real package shelf"   I have been driving for 50 years, and I have never heard that term. To what are you referring?   Many vehicle noises seem to come from a specific location when they are actually being transferred from a different location. For instance, my 2009 CTS seemed to have a light tapping in the left rear door at speeds lower than 35 mph. I found it myself. The battery cable was vibrating against some plastic in its enclosure. I put a small piece of foam weather stripping on the plastic where the cable was touching. Voila! Problem solved.

Replying to: 150mphclub (Mar 26, 2009 10:39 am) I think he meant REAR package shelf, the area under the rear window and behind the rear seat.   This area should NEVER be used to store anything as in a quick stop, such as an accident, anything on this shelf will become a missile aimed at the back of everyone's head.

Replying to: bingoman (Mar 26, 2009 10:50 am) Most likely it's actually the speakers in the rear deck that are vibrating. Oh, and I second this - maybe a cloth to keep the sun from fading it, but stuff never goes there - it blocks your view and will hit you in an accident.

Replying to: marsha7 (Mar 24, 2009 7:48 am) Thanks, I will.....I even had to take the car in 6 times for one issue when it was new. All the dealer's problem though.   J
#2730 of 2757 Package Shelf by cafpaf Mar 27, 2009 (7:00 am)
As indicated, I mean the REAR shelf. Sometimes my fat fingers get the best of me when typing and in this case spell check did not help. In any event, I have determined that it is not the rear speaker. It is either the shelf of something under it that makes the noise. I have tried to fix it myself without success.   Does anyone have a handle of the TSB I mentioned earlier. #090844003? Or does anyone know of a source that has this information? Thanks!

Replying to: cafpaf (Mar 27, 2009 7:00 am) I have the same problem. I took the car in and they replaced the rear shelf as well. I still have a problem with the vibration sound. To me it sound like the speaker and subwoofer vibrate and then transfer the sound to the cabin. I figure I will bring the car to another cadillac dealership to see if they can figure it out.
#2732 of 2757 Brake noise by mattgoofy Mar 30, 2009 (3:53 pm)
I have have my CTS for about 6 months. Currently 7K on the car. After about 700 miles my front brakes would squeek as if the metal was hitting metal. The dealership said that it is normal for these high performance breaks to do that; although they could stop the brakes from squeeking by doing a service for $99 on them. Has anyone else had this problem?? By the way I told them to stick the service. Replies to this message: temj12 (Mar 30, 2009 10:15 pm)

Replying to: mattgoofy (Mar 30, 2009 3:53 pm) I have a new CTS that I have had for three months. I have 2,500 miles. I have no squeaking; the brakes are quiet. That special service should be warranty and would be at some Cadillac dealers. They would just have to write it up in a certain way. I am sure my dealer in Nashville would take care of that for me. That is just not normal.
#2734 of 2757 timing chain by arby1 May 08, 2009 (10:13 am)
My check engine light came on at 12,500 miles . I tried filling the car up with gas three times to see if it would go away, but id did not . Took it to the dealer . I need a new timing chain. It will take two weeks to get the part . I was told that it is a common problem. Several cars ahead of me are waiting for the part. Did this happen to any one else? Will it reduce my horse power? I have the DI engine , RWD.
