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.

Replying to: jimbob1 (May 09, 2009 5:55 pm) My point was that anything can happen and the poster said can't GM do anything right. Ok they had a problem but I don't remember reading that they were having problem after problem like they tried to make us think. At least it was a easy fixable problem and the frame didn't rust out making it an unsafe vehicle. Who knows maybe they got the belt from a foreign manufacturer like Toyota. My wife's STS had a nav problem twice and who makes the nav unit. A company partly owned by Toyota. So do I mouth off and say can't GM do anything right or do I take it as it's a vehicle with thousands of parts and the odds are something will go wrong during the 4 year warranty and does GM stand behind it and fix it or say tough luck. If I'm going to blame GM I blame them for using junk made by Toyota instead of a better made product.

#2749 of 2757 Power seat by ajl1223 Jul 11, 2009 (3:41 am)
13000 miles on the 2008 cts and the power driver seat decided not to work yesterday.this will be the second major item on this car to be a problem. [First being the replacement of the head at 1800 miles. Discussed in an earlier post]. Also i get a squeak coming from interior, sounds like it is in the back seat area, I know this has been mentioned in other post, how was that problem solved?? It is a shame in that I really like the car, but I am glad it is a lease, went back to GM after 24 years and leased this vehicle and it saddens me to say that I probably will not come back to GM.
#2750 of 2757 New 2008 CTS DI owner by pony00 Sep 09, 2009 (6:47 am)
I just bought a used 08 CTS DI and generally love the car. The moonroof is making a constant sound when I drive it. It isn't leaking, it just sounds like it's open when it's not. The back right speaker also sounds like it's blown or rattling which shouldn't happen with a Bose sound system. The nav squeeks when I turn the car on and it raises up out of the dash, but only does it when it's hot out. The car is at the dealer right now being looked at.   I was just wondering if anyone else has had these issues? I saw someone had a leaking sunroof, did it make a noise before it started leaking?   Thanks for your help! This is my first cadillac so any advice/expertise would be appreciated!
