Replying to: temj12 (Mar 04, 2009 12:06 am) No wine for me either (2009, Black, Std engine). I do sometimes have a faint rattle in the passenger side seat belt assembly, but otherwise, all is quiet.

Replying to: temj12 (Mar 04, 2009 12:06 am) hi, i have an 09 cts,bought it dec 29th.08 and it has about 1200 miles on it now. i have no whine in first gear.it has the direct injection 3.6 engine. there is a rear end problem in some of the 2009,s and i think the late 2008. over 40 mph i was getting a pulsating feeling in my ears. i thought my dealer would think i was nuts when i told him about it. his reply was,"we know all about it. there is a soundproofing kit that needs to be installed around the rear end." they also re aligned the rear axle and the sound is gone. my only complaint is the climate control, and i am making an appointment with another dealer next week to try and resolve that problem. joey000245

Replying to: pao (Mar 04, 2009 4:20 am) Thanks for the response from you and the others. I needed to know if this was true through the line or if it were just mine. If this was just a characteristic of all of them, I was not going to pursue warranty. Now I will.

I live in New England, so have not had a chance to use the a/c yet. Haven't noticed the blower problem with the heating system though. Also have not noticed a transmission whine in first gear.

Replying to: joey245 (Mar 03, 2009 9:49 am) Posting in all caps is very hard to read. In fact, most people ignore messages in all caps, so I would be surprised if you get many answers.   My 2009 CTS climate control fan runs fast until the car approaches the set temp. Then the fan slows.

Replying to: ctsguy2 (Feb 19, 2009 8:33 am) 09 CTS - I finally found the fix for (my) creaky driver's seat. I used leather conditioner on the leather surface that mates with the vinyl trim around the perimeter of the seat & seat back - and WD-40 on the bottom vinyl seat trim "vertical seam" where the two front sections are joined together. No more creaking.   Good luck Replies to this message: ctsguy2 (Mar 10, 2009 5:49 am)

Replying to: waffleman (Mar 03, 2009 8:10 am) OK, sorry for the delay..   I tried the 60 mph test. The average mpg did say 18 to 21 mpg traveling at aprx 60 mph on a flat road. OK, well, Hmmm? I have not had a long trip with the CTS09 yet doing primary highway driving. This will be my final test.   With about 40 miles of straight highway driving the best I have been able to get is 13.3 MPG average on a tank .(203 miles to a tank of gas - 15.25 gals)   I live in the Boston area and if you've driven here, you know it can be pretty much stop and go driving. Since I have bought the car I have calculated my average mpg for a tank to be from a low of 10.9 to high of 13.3 mpg.   Well what to I do now. Live with it? My wife drives a 02 Jeep Cherokee Larado and appears to get the same or better city mileage. It appears other CTS owners are getting better mileage, so I just want to make sure I didn't get a .   The sticker lists 17 MPG city. Let's say I get 12.4 MPG (conservative driving). Is this difference typical?.   Is there anything I can suggest for the dealer to check?   Do Escalade driver's get 5 MPG?   I think the car is really sharp, I'm just a little bummed that it seems I bought a gas hog. ;(   -s Replies to this message: joey245 (Mar 10, 2009 5:49 am) cdnpinhead (Mar 10, 2009 5:55 am) ctsguy2 (Mar 10, 2009 5:56 am) pao (Mar 10, 2009 4:40 pm) artmbgolf (Mar 13, 2009 9:57 am) blackcadillac (Mar 15, 2009 6:57 pm) artmbgolf (Mar 15, 2009 8:45 pm) temj12 (Mar 16, 2009 9:05 am) and 2 more... temj12 (Mar 13, 2009 10:46 am) pao (Mar 16, 2009 11:10 am)
