Replying to: tntmyth (Feb 01, 2008 6:58 pm) A also am considering the CTS, but I am waiting for the 2009 model. Research the vehicle, there are 2 recalls that I know of, the rear end was locking up and there is something wrong with the power windows and sunroof.

Replying to: lykourinou (Feb 06, 2008 5:16 pm) My dealer does not have loaner cars, but they do have an agreement with a rental agency. Cadillac will pay for a rental if your Cadillac is under warranty and the repair job will take more than a day or so. My dealer does have a shuttle service that will take you somewhere nearby (not halfway across the state) and then pick you up when your car is ready.

Replying to: lykourinou (Feb 06, 2008 5:25 pm) There is a problem with a seal on the rear end that can leak. If the lub leaks out of the rear end, then it should not be a surprise that the rear end gears wear out. I have yet to get the recall for my 2007 SRX, but the rear end is not leaking yet as far as I know (no sign of lube on the garage floor).

Replying to: sls002 (Feb 07, 2008 7:31 am) Maybe, but taking your DTS in for service and getting a Pontiac G5 for the day isn't going to impress the customer much. You can bet that the Lexus dealer doesn't fob its customers into Corollas.

Replying to: lykourinou (Feb 06, 2008 5:25 pm) Isn't the rear end recall only for the "old" CTS (2007? I didn't think it applied to the new one. Replies to this message: sls002 (Feb 07, 2008 9:46 am)

Replying to: scwmcan (Feb 07, 2008 8:52 am) Yes the recall is for 2007 and earlier models (back to 2005). A supplier of seals changed the seal without informing GM or getting approval and the new seals did not hold up.

Replying to: sls002 (Feb 07, 2008 7:31 am) Wow, a Caddy dealer that doesn't have its own loaner cars? Looks like Caddy still has way to go before catching up to MB/BMW/Lexus and return to "the standard of the world". Honestly, If I am driving a Caddy I would much rather to driver a Caddy loaner car than a Chevy Impala...

Replying to: louiswei (Feb 07, 2008 9:51 am) If you have a MB/BMW/Lexus that needs warranty work here, the nearest dealer is more than 300 miles away. As far as I am concerned, if the car is only going to be in the shop for a day, getting a ride to work or home and then back is a reasonable solution. They would need a lot of loaners to give everyone one. I can see them giving out used cars to drive for the day, but then the car is not there should someone come in to buy it.
