Replying to: beachlover40 (Jun 30, 2008 11:55 am) For me it was my battery, I did not drive it during the hard snow we got in columbus, so it sat in my driveway for about 3 weeks.   I recharged the battery, and everything worked. It was something I did not expect. Because the radio worked really well and the windows. etc. It just did not have enough "juice" to crank the starter. It actually made a noise like something was grinding etc. So was pretty worried. But its been running ever since no problems.

Replying to: hosa24 (Jun 30, 2008 12:55 pm) Well, we checked the battery and that isn't the problem. It acts like it is going to start and the started actually keeps on going but it won't start. After about 15 mintues it eventually does but it happens all over again once you turn it off. I don't know what the deal is......Thanks though for the quick response!

Replying to: pao (Nov 13, 2007 9:35 am) I have to defend the dealer here. Just because the oil can 'last' 5,000 miles or more is not a reason not to change it earlier!! The other reason to change the oil is due to the engine's natural break-down - and particals will fall into the oil well before the oil breaks down. Many believe in changing oil no more than every 3,000 miles - no matter what kind of oil is used. So don't be so fast in suspecting foul play from your dealer.
#32 of 77 '04 CTS Battery Replacement-Wal-Mart MAXX group 78N. by irish3000 Nov 01, 2008 (9:12 am)
I just replaced my 5 year old battery on my '04 CTS-V6 with 131k miles. After searching several places for a battery, which had no listings for the CTS, I contacted the dealership to price an ACDelco replacement. This solution, $223.00 plus tax, sent me back to finding an aftermarket replacement. The Wal-Mart MAXX group 78N, 900 cca battery has more power, a better warranty, and will work without any modifications. The battery price and DIY was $72.94, 1/3 the dealership cost.

Replying to: cadi03 (Aug 13, 2008 7:54 am) Hi, I have a 2003 CTS and same experience, twice already! 1st time is within the waranty period, and GM dealer diagnosed to be a bad cell in the battery. So they replaced it for free. Now when my car is not six years yet, the 2nd battery died yesterday. Have to replace a new one again.
