Replying to: arby1 (May 08, 2009 10:16 am) I have heard this also. I'm puzzled why it sometimes makes a noise, but sometimes it doesn't. Before I got my CTS, I had a Buick Enclave and the CD player in that would sometimes make a similar noise. It always stopped when I ejected the disc.

A new timing chain at 12,500 miles???...and with a few folks ahead of you???...wouldn't this be a major design flaw in the bulletproof CTS???...can't GM do ANYTHING right???

Replying to: marsha7 (May 09, 2009 6:17 am) I guess you could say the same thing about Toyota when they brought out their big truck and had problems with the whole engine blowing up or now they are buying back some of those big trucks because the frame has rusted so bad to make them unsafe on the road. I can see a bad timing belt once in a while but frames rusting out. Come on that plain sucks with stupidity.
#2740 of 2757 another leak by ctshadaflood May 09, 2009 (9:04 am)
Replying to: marsha7 (May 09, 2009 6:17 am) Another A frame leak from the sunroof. The headliner is dripping and the water is pouring out the bottom of the dashboard. we know its made like crap but they cant even fix it on the third try. Im so glad this 49G lease will be going back. No wonder they face bankruptcy. Buy foreign Replies to this message: dmathews3 (May 09, 2009 11:33 am)

I see your point...but you mentioned timing belt, the first poster said timing chain...I guess I see chains as sturdier than belts...but I do not know what the engine actually has...

Replying to: ctshadaflood (May 09, 2009 9:04 am) sounds like the drain is plugged or the hose pulled lose and it also sounds liike you need to find a dealer that knows how to fix things right the first time.

Replying to: marsha7 (May 09, 2009 10:00 am) I think may have been a slip of the keyboard on my part but timing chain or belt they both preform the same function and shouldn't distract from the meaning of my post.

Replying to: dmathews3 (May 09, 2009 11:35 am) But what is the meaning? That because Toyota sucks, Cadillac doesn't? Replies to this message: dmathews3 (May 10, 2009 10:32 am) arby1 (May 10, 2009 7:09 pm)

I realize what you meant...what I meant was that I can see how a rubber belt might break a lot easier than I can understand a chain breaking...but, I guess, one bad link...if you will, the weakest link and the chain breaks...   I would simply suppose that a belt would fail faster than a chain...but if something is defective, it could be made of titanium and it would not matter...

Replying to: marsha7 (May 09, 2009 7:11 pm) It is my understanding from what I have read in many mags that the main reason companies go to the belts over chains is quietness and most people trade their rides before a new belt is needed.
