2016 Cadillac CTS Owner Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED OR STOPPING, THE VEHICLE MADE A CLANKING SOUND AND JERKED WITH A LOUD NOISE. WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY, A LOUD WIND NOISE COULD BE HEARD THROUGH THE DOOR JAMS OF THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD FADE IN AND OUT WITHOUT WARNING, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY WAS INCORRECT, AND A TAPPING NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RYDELL CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC OF GRAND FORKS (LOCATED AT 2700 S WASHINGTON ST., GRAND FORKS, ND 58201 (701) 772-7211), BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100.

STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION, VEHICLE SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ALL LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE, ACCELERATOR STUCK AND FUEL SHUT OFF WHEN GOING HARD ON BRAKE DID NOT WORK REQUIRING SNIT INTO NEUTRAL, MANY OTHER ISSUES. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR MANY TIMES IN SERVICE OVER 40+ DAYS SINCE NOVEMBER 2016. NOT SAFE TO OPERATE. CUE SCREEN REPLACED MURIOPLE TIMES AS WELL BECAUSE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND EVEN AIR CONDITIONING SWITCHING TO HEAT, WINDOWS RANDOMLY ROLLING DOWN WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, SPEEDOMETER GOES OFF AND THEN COMES BACK ON WHILE DRIVING. TOO MANY ISSUES TO NAME, GM/CADILLAC HAS REFUSED A PROPER REPURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AND IS STATING THEY WANT A LAWSUIT BROUGHT AGAINST THEM IN ORDER TO GIVE A FAIR SETTLEMENT AS THEY ARE WANTING ME TO PAY LARGER THAN NORMAL DEPRECIATION ON A NON-WORKING VEHICLE IN A REPURCHASE AGREEMENT. THESE ISSUES ARE LIFE THREATENING AND THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO NOTE THE VEHICLE IS A LEMON AND ACTUALLY SELL IT TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER. THEY ARE NOW ADVISING (GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE) THE DEALER TO PUT THAT THEY ARE "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERN" ON ALL FURTHER SERVICE VISITS SHOULD I RETURN HOWEVER I AM NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS IS NOT SOLVING LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS BUT ACTUALLY COVERING THEM UP. COME TO FIND OUT THEY EVEN SERVICED THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AS NEW THAT THEY PREFORMED SERVICE ON SOME OF THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH I WAS HAVING.

CAR HAS JUST PASSED THE WARRANTY. PUT THE CAR IN THE SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE, WHEN I GOT IT BACK I COULD HEAR A YANG YANG NOISE LIKE I HAD A BAD TIRE, IN THE MEAN TIME ON STAR SENT A NOTICE THAT THE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND STABILITY CONTROL. THE NOISE COULD BE HEARD AT ANY SPEED. SO NOW I HAVE TO SPEND $4000 FOR CAR REPAIRS FOR A CAR NOT QUITE 3 YEARS OLD? NEED A BREAK, DISCOUNT OR SOMETHING. I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR.

THE AUTO STOP/START CANNOT BE SAFE. I ALMOST GOT T-BONED IN MY FIRST SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES IN A NEW CAR WITH THIS FEATURE. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND NEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC. I DID NOT REALIZE THE DELAY WOULD BE THAT GREAT AND ALMOST GOT T-BONED TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE HESITATES WHEN YOU'RE STOPPED AND MOVING FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS. THIS FRACTION OF A SECOND HAS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE...THE ONLY THING HAS TO BE WHETHER IT IS SIGNIFICANT. WHEN TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC (T-BONE) OR TURNING RIGHT INTO TRAFFIC (REAR END), A FRACTION OF A SECOND IS HUGE. EVEN IF THE DRIVER GETS USED TO THIS OVER TIME, FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT DRIVE THE CAR TOO WILL LIKELY NOT BE ACCUSTOMED TO THIS DELAY. WOULD LIKE TO SEE COMPARISON OF T-BONE VICTIMS AND REAR END VICTIMS OF ACCIDENTS OF PEOPLE WITH AUTO STOP/START VS DRIVERS WHO DON'T HAVE IT. CAR ALSO LURCHES WHEN STARTING UP AND PUTTING IT INTO GEAR.

WHEN YOU ENTER AN ADDRESS INTO THE NAVIGATION AND SAVE IT INTO CONTACTS. IT RE- REOUTES YOU TO A LOCATION OTHER THAN THE STATED ADDRESS. IT SHOWS THE LOCATOR PIN ON THE CORRECT ADDRESS, BUT YOU ARE TAKEN TO A LOCATION MORE THAN 1/2 MILE AWAY (AS THE CROW FLIES) IN A DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH CADILLAC TO FIX IT BUT THEY CAN NOT (OR WILL NOT)

AT 45MPH THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SHUDDERS. IT ONLY HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY. I'VE CHECKED IT ON VERY SMOOTH ROADS TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T THE CONDITON OF THE ROAD CAUSING THE SHUDDER. SOMETIMES, WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS, IT SHIFTS VERY HARD AS IF BEING BUMPED IN THE REAR. I HAD IT CHECKED AND I'M TOLD IT MAY BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT NOT SURE. THE ORIGINAL TIRES ARE ON THE CAR AND AT 48 THOUSAND MILES THEY HAVE WORN EVEN. I'VE HAD THE FRONT END CHECKED FOR ALIGNMENT AND THE FRONT WHEELS BALANCED. THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE.

The contact's relative owns a 2016 Cadillac CTS. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the passenger's side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the front passenger's side air bag inflator needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a related recall and provided an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 49,790.

I have 2 complaints. #1 The transmission shifts extremely hard in and out of gear 1. This issue a known issue, but GM has no resolution. There is a bulletin. The problem is, my car is no shifting poorly in all gears and causing a serious safety issue at all speeds and gears. It won't go into gear causing safety concerns. I have reported the transmission issue multiple times while under warranty and it is now worse outside of warranty! #2 Adaptive cruise has also been reported multiple times and I have paid to get both front sensors replaced. Only to have the issue continue. The dash will show a car is in the path, but there is a 2-3 second delay before car starts to slow down. Often brakes do not engage and the alarms just go off. I have driven a loaner car of similar years and they do not operate the same. This car is an outlier.
