Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Brake Problems

Good Day

Thanks for the response. I was thinking of buying a Cadi Cts last year and this year.
Has anyone purchased a 2010 or 2011 with good reliability thus far??

Im just a bit of a nervous person about Reliability i guess. I had seen in a magazine that the CTS has sort of a somewhat black circled area for reliability and maybe thats for Older Models but i just was wondering about the newer Models how the Relaibility was.

Anyone here who has a newer model CTS if you can please share your Insight.

Thank you

Mt 09 Non Di CTS is over two years old now..and not one problem other than a squeaking rear brake which the dealer fixed without problem...absolutely love the car...fully loaded other than AWD and the DI engine...getting 23 city and 29-31 highway on regular gas...

Looks like you are right. After two weeks of body work, the cts is now across the street at the mechanics waiting a new rear end.

Unusual for a 5 year old car. I wonder if it lost fluid and bearings seized or if a part just failed due to poor metallurgy.

I agree. We bought the car used a year ago. Apparently there was a recall at 20,000 miles for something related to the differential but that was long before we got the car. We do know that it was found to be low on fluid. Fortunately we purchased an extended warrantee that covers the replacement with after market parts. GM was of no help at all. Not sure I want to keep this car. If this had happened on a freeway we'd likely be dead and have taken others with us. I never have had a good experience with GM cars. We bought it for the comfort of the passengers seat because I have a chronic pain condition. The seat is extremely comfortable.

I have a non DI 2009 CTS too. I bought mine new. My wife heard on the news this morning that GM is recalling 2009 and 2010 CTS for a problem in the rear end that could make the wheel come off. I am waiting on a letter which may apply only to certain VIN numbers. Yours sounds like it fits in that category. With this announcement this morning, you may be able to reclaim your expense for repairing the problem.

I was having this same problem with my 06 cts. I printed some of these messages off and took them to the caddy dealer in hopes it would help,but he still insisted of the diagnostic test. Does any body have any idea who to report this to being this is an ongoing issue with most cts from what I've read. I hate to let my car go,but im not gonna dish out a lot of money for the same thing over and over thanks. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT A NUMBER OR SOMETHING!

dertyrice,
Having the vehicle diagnosed by a GM dealer is the first step. You can contact Customer Assistance; however, they will tell you that you must have the vehicle diagnosed before they can assist. The number for customer assistance is in the Owner Manual. I hope this helps.
