2014 CADILLAC CTS Problems & Complaints

own a 2014 Cadillac CTS (VIN: [XXX] ) that was serviced under GM Recall N192279370 for rear axle differential seizing. On [XXX], the dealership replaced the rear differential carrier assembly and performed the required hydraulic system bleed. At intake, their own multi-point inspection documented no issues with the transmission, radiator, or cooling system. Immediately after the recall repair, my vehicle experienced severe issues: transmission slipping and radiator contamination with transmission fluid. These problems did not exist prior to the recall service. The dealership now claims the damage resulted from “stop leak” in the system and refuses warranty coverage. However, stop leak was not used until after the failure occurred, and only as an emergency measure to get the car home safely. The evidence strongly indicates that the failure resulted from the recall service, possibly from improper reconnection or contamination during the repair. Their refusal to acknowledge responsibility leaves me with significant repair costs for a problem that began directly after their mandated safety recall work. I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance in investigating this case, as the failure appears to be linked to the recall repair and raises concerns of improper procedures during service. Documentation, including service invoices, inspection sheets, and repair notes, are available to support this complaint.

This is a continuing concerning issue that I've experienced resulting in a major safety hazard, that intel the RWD differential/drivetrain, which is a common safety concern with the 2014 CTS Sedans. There are no recalls from the persistent complaints and concern about this issue. The wearing down of the pinion seal, causing leaks, that have been repaired several times, which constantly reappears, after months to a year of being repaired at certified Cadillac dealerships. Now the GM/Cadillac dealerships are highly recommending a full differential replacement. Unfortunately, there are no differential parts nationwide to repair the issue. The GM manufactures have either discontinued the part or it's been express the parts are on back order from 3 to 6 months, or even up to a year to receive that particular part, yet there's still no recall on this issue. This safety concern needs to be address ASAP. This can prevent power to RWD, causing an accident at driving speeds, damaging the internal drive train as well. Other motorist, as well as passengers and vehicle operator would be at great risk, if this issue is not resolved. It's also costly and very expensive to repair. I have paid for a tremendous amount of money trying to get this reoccurring and repetitive issue resolved, without a reasonable resolution from GM or and Cadillac dealership to even offer a goodwill repair for this problem.

Ive received an official diagnosis from Cadillac, I need a rear differential replacement due to safety issues. If the wheels lock while driving, it can cause an accident. There is a recall associated with the same year Cadillac, but only the sport version so they refuse to fix mine. My car has only 80k miles on it and it was not supposed to go bad so early. It is NOT my fault. It is obvious that Cadillac used a poor quality rear differential when the vehicle was made, resulting in a possible accident threatening my own and other lives on the road. On addition to that, they gave me a quote for $3400 to fix the vehicle. Im asking you to please help me fight this case. The dealer admitted that they fix rear differential issues on this model all the time so it is an obvious issue resulting in innocent people having to go broke fixing a faulty part. This webpage is not letting me upload the official document so please contact me so i can send it over email.

THE CUE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN CRACKED/WEBBED WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY JOBS PARKING LOT. THIS CAUSED ALL FEATURES USING THE SCREEN INCLUDING HANDSFEE FOR CALLS INOPERABLE. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS A KNOWN RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE 2014 CUE SCREENS. APPARENTLY THEY ARE PRONE TO DELAMINATING AND CRACKING DUE TO A POOR MANUFACTURING GM DESIGN. THEY STATED THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SCREENS YET AND THE REPAIR WILL BE OUT OF POCKET.

I HAVE A 2014 CADILLAC CTS AND THE CUE WAS REPLACED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE CUE SCREEN HAS CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE AND GONE OUT AGAIN. I CANNOT PAIR MY PHONE TO THE CAR OR ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE FROM THE TOP OR FEET AREA. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I ALSO SEE NOW THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS FAULTY SYSTEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND PROPERLY FIXED.

I am filing a complaint against Wagner Cadillac in Tyler, Texas, regarding mishandled recall service that resulted in severe damage to my 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport (3.6 Twin-Turbo). Timeline of Events: Wagner Cadillac performed Recall #N192279370 (rear differential). At the time, only the differential code was present. Their own multipoint inspection showed no issues with the cooling or transmission systems. Immediately after recall service, my rear axle warning light came on for the first time. Shortly after, the transmission cooler line at the radiator burst, causing coolant and transmission fluid to mix. This led to overheating, hard shifting, and slipping. To limp the car home safely, I used a stop-leak additive only after the breakdown. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act clearly states warranty coverage cannot be denied unless the additive directly caused the failure, which it did not. The damage had already occurred from the ruptured line. When I returned the vehicle, Wagner Cadillac falsely accused me of voiding coverage due to the additive. They then refused to repair my transmission or cooling system, leaving me with a $30,000+ estimate. Why They Are Responsible: The problems began only after recall work. During service, Wagner Cadillac could have: Over-pressurized the system during testing. Improperly disturbed or reinstalled transmission cooler lines. Failed to secure or bleed the cooling system. Any of these actions could have caused the rupture. Their refusal to acknowledge this shifts unlawful blame onto me. Additional Concerns: Instead of helping me, Wagner Cadillac attempted to solicit me to sell them my broken car and buy another vehicle from them — both before and after they denied repairs. This is unethical and exploitative. Impact: I paid cash for this car not long ago. I have now lost reliable transportation, lost my job due to lack of mobility, and face financial INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The gear shifter cable on my 2014 Cadillac CTS failed completely and without warning. The vehicle became totally inoperable and could not be shifted into Park, Neutral, Reverse, or Drive. There were no dashboard alerts or signs of failure. This matches the exact symptoms described in GM Recall No. 21V473000. However, my vehicle was excluded from further action because it had previously received a visual-only inspection during the recall window. No functional testing was performed. Despite being marked as “repaired,” the shifter cable failed exactly as described in the original recall. GM confirmed that the recall case was closed after a visual inspection per their protocol. But this inspection clearly failed to detect a dangerous mechanical defect. I have now been without a working vehicle for over two weeks, with the earliest dealership appointment not available until the week of July 7 — and a $180 diagnostic fee quoted, with no guarantee of repair coverage. This breakdown could have resulted in a crash or rollaway if it had occurred while driving or parked on an incline. It poses a serious safety risk not just to me but to the public. Vehicles cleared with insufficient inspection should not be excluded from protection. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this failure, hold GM accountable for prematurely closed recall cases, and consider requiring them to reopen and expand the campaign to include VINs like mine. I am willing to provide photos, documentation, and records as needed. Thank you for your attention and swift consideration.

BOUGHT THIS CAR AND AFTER BUYING IT, I HEARD A VIBRATION. FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROAD AND THEN THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES. I STARTED CHECKING AROUND FOR TIRES WHEN IT BECAME VERY NOISY SO I CALLED THE DEALER. HE FIRST SAID IT WAS THE POWER TRAIN FLUID NEEDED CHANGED BUT LATER CALLED AND SAID IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS CAR HAS LESS THA 40,000 MILES.

I just recently purchased my Cadillac. And the rear end is going out! I literally cannot even drive it anywhere because it is about to lock up completely. It will barely go and definitely doesn't want or like to go uphill. I could hardly go 20 miles per hour when I parked it the other night. There has not been an incident yet but if I hadn't parked it, it could've locked up completely when I was going down the highway is what my mechanic friend told me. It was not bad until just the day before it got to this point. It was making a little bit of a humming noise which I thought was just a wheel bearing the other night because that's exactly what it sounded like. But, the night I parked it it had started making like a loud thumping noise when I would try to accelerate. The more I would accelerate the louder the noise and it just didn't want to go. So, I parked it and that's where it's been since. So, I got online to look and see if there were any recalls for this issue. I find that there is a recall for the 2014 Cts-V for the rear end. I think it's not only the Cts-V models I think it's the regular Cts's as well. Can you check into this for me because I literally just bought this car and haven't even gotten my license plate yet and now I can't even do that or go anywhere for that matter. I am a business owner and I rely on my vehicle and I can't even get to work to open my store right now,. I would greatly appreciate it if you could check into if this recall shouldn't be extended to the regular Cts models as well. Thanks and have a great day.

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH ON A STRAIGHT, FOUR LANE ROAD. IT MADE A LOUD THUMP AND FELT AS IF THE BRAKES WERE SLAMMED ON. THE CAR PULL HARD LEFT AND THE REAR TIRES WERE SMOKING. MANAGED TO GET THE CAR BACK TO THE RIGHT AND STOPPED AFTER HITTING THE CURB. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. THE ELSD IS ON BACKORDER AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 90 DAYS.

At the moment, the vehicle is releasing a strong order smells like burning oil or gasoline. It’s coming from the rear of the vehicle. You can smell it immediately when you step out and in the car. The rear is making a loud cranking noise and starting to shake. It appears based on the information that it’s a huge possibility it’s my rear differential going out. It posses a threat due to the anticipation of the brakes locking and causing a serious accident to my family or other on the road. Ive taken very good care if the vehicle and done all the required maintenance on the vehicle. Went though GM motors repair shops

I CANNOT GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED IN THE ALLOTTED TIME DUE TO PARTS NOT BEING ON HAND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROMISED TO CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Cadillac CTS. The contact stated that while driving in the early morning, the headlights became inoperable. The contact checked the headlights and noticed both headlights were out. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the mechanic was informed that both headlights went out simultaneously. The headlight assembly was replaced. The manufacturer was notified but no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe and could cause a possible accident. The VIN was not available.

I HAVE A DAMAGED RIGHT DAYTIME RUN LIGHT ON MY 2014 CADILLAC CTS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART (PART# 20896556). GM NOW SAYS THERE ARE NON AVAILABLE IN THE SYSTEM AND HAVE PROVIDED NO HELP TO SECURE ONE. THIS PART FITS 2014 THRU 2016 CTS'S. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND CADILLAC DOESN'T SEEM TO THANK IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OR CARE THAT THEY HAVE CREATED THIS SAFETY HAZARD. MY GM COMPLAINT NUMBER IS 8-2572310479. I WOULD THINK THAT THE NTSB SHOULD BE CONCERNED THAT GM IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

IN THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS I HAVE 7 TIRES REPLACED. THE SIDE-WALL OF THE TIRES SPLIT AND I BELIEVE THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS.

Rear Carrier Assembly is making grinding noise. Mechanic says that driving car could be life threatening. GM and Cadillac dealership has no parts. So car is useless. The car has 56,000 miles. There should be a recall and remedy for this Model, 2014 Cadillac 3.6L CTS. Especially when the V version of this car already has a recall. GM should be held accountable for this design flaw.

Burning smell, traction control, rear axle service along with suspension lights all came on the odometer. Shakes at low idle and wont stay running. Happened this weekend after pulling into the driveway after driving. We scanned code for cylinder 4 misfire. On scanner we had multiple other cylinder misfires but cylinder 4 is a dead misfire. We removed spark plug and found wore. We initially thought to start with replacing spark plugs and cylinder 4 coil. We consulted with customer and agreed to replace all spark plugs and cylinder 4 coil. After replacing we found no change in cylinder 4 misfire. We removed and re installed original coil and re tested. We performed a compression test on cylinder 4 and have 0 PSI. We thought possible carboned valve stuck open due to direct injection system. We performed a GDI carbon clean but still no change. We installed a borescope into cylinder to inspect and found what looks like a broken piston or part of a valv We scanned code for cylinder 4 misfire.

2014 Cadillac CTS rear differential with 55,000 miles started to make a wobbling noise going past 10 mph. Went to third party mechanic and was shown metal shavings coming from rear end

I was driving and it started rattling and getting very bumpy. I exited the freeway and came to a stop. The vehicle would no longer move. I had it towed to my mechanic. The right front axle broke. He replaced it and drove it around the block for a test drive. It was very loud and turning tight when the left axle broke. It has been diagnosed with a bad differential. Everyone I have spoke with at multiple Cadillac dealerships, including someone at a dealership over 30 years, have said they never seen this type of problem and especially on such a newer vehicle with only 84,000 miles. It was a very dangerous situation and if it never happens why did it happen to mine? I’m thinking something is faulty in the differential etc.

ON 8/24/2021 APPROX 9:45AM I RETURNED HOME FROM THE MARKET AS I WAS PARKING MY VEHICLE (BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE) ISHIFT MY VEHICLE CONTROL TO THE REAR POSITION AND IT LOCK UP IT WAS STUCK AND WOULD NOT RELEASE I WAS SHOCKED AND UPSET BECAUSE THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WAS STILL IN THE WAY OF PASSING VEHICLE SO I TUNED MY FRONT WHEELS IN AS MUCH AS I COULD BUT THAT WAS ALL I COULD DO I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BREAKS SO THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ROLL BACK AND SLAM INTO THE TRUCK BEHIND ME , I CALL THE DEALERSHIP FC KERBECK 100 ROUTE 73 NORTH PALMYRA N.J I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT I WAS UPSET AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAKS BECAUSE I DID'NT KNOW IF IT WAS SAFE TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE OR WHAT AFTER I WAS DISCONNECTED I CALLED BACK AND I WAS INFORMED ON HOW TO SAFLEY SHUT DOWN MY VEHICLE . MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I FOUND A RECALL ON THE ISSUE FROM GENERAL MOTORS JUNE 2014 SAYING THAT THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION IN AND OUT OF GEAR DUE TO THE SHIFT CABLE NOT BEGIN SECURED AND THAT IT COULD SLIP OUT OF THE BRACKETS AND THE DRIVER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING RESULTING IN A CCIDENT WHEN I MENTION THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CLAIM THAT THEY NEVER HAD ANY RECALLS ON THID SAFTEY ISSUE I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE IN 2017 SO THEY WERE WELL AWARE THAT THIS COULD BE A SAFTEY ISSUE SOME WHERE DOWN THE LINE BUT THEY FAILED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONSUMER WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THAT THEY COULD HAVE BETTER CONTROL IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD HAPPEN i WAS SO UP SET AND SHOCK THAT THIS HAD HAPPEN MY GEARS WERE LOCK DOWN I COULD NOT AT THAT TIME MOVE MY VEHICLE. MY IS THIS INFORMATION NOT MADE AVAILABLE TO THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY BUY THESE CARS THEN A FEW YEARS LATER WHEN IT DOES EALERSHIP BLOWS YOU OFF AND ACT AS IF YOU ARE CRAZY THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE YOUR LIFE.

Our mechanic told us that the differential is making a grinding sound and he add differential fluid, but said the problem would only get worse. The car only has 62k miles on it and it is VERY EXPENSIVE to have the differential replace/repaired. I feel that this is a defect of the car and should be recalled by Cadillac to have the differential replaced. For the differential to go bad at 60k miles is unacceptable and is terrible reliability.

I HAVE HAD AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT SEAT HEATER. WHEN WEATHER IS COOLER AND I ACTIVATE THE SEAT HEATER I EXPERIENCED THE SEAT GETTING EXCESSIVELY HOT AND I NEARLY BURN MYSELF. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE HEATER SEAT AND COVER THE SEAT SO I DON'T GET HURT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY DURING TO HOW HOT THE SEAT HAD GOT. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE SHIFTER SELECTOR CABLE DETACHED AS I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON THE STREET (VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION) I WAS DRIVING AND PULLED UP PARK AND NOTICE THE SHIFTER KNOB WAS MOVING BUT THE INDICATOR WAS STUCK IN THE WRONG SELECTION. I HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BREAK AND ORDER A TOW TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR THE CARBWAS IN OR COULD I CHANGE GEARS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD RECALLS FOR THESE ITEMS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES BUT DENIED TO HELP ME BECAUSE THE RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC WHICH I DID NOT KNOW AND MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. I AM LEFT WITH A HUGE CAR REPAIR BILL FOR DEFECTED PARTS SOLD WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT RISK OF FAILURE. I CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DID NOT SEE THE RECALL IN THEIR SYSTEM AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT NHTSA. THEY SAID THAT THE NHTSA DID NOT SHOW A RECALL FOR THAT VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD NUMEROUS SAFETY DEFECT REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BOUGHT BACK. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC CTS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V038000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. BOMMARITO CADILLAC LOCATED AT (4190 I-70 NORTH OUTER RD, ST PETERS, MO 63376, (636) 928-2300) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FLASHING AT VEHICLE START-UP. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE CEASED IN GEAR AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NO AVAILABLE.

MY CAR IS A 2014 CTS VSPORT. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE AUGUST OF 2017, AND IT HAD 42,563 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD 'TIRE ISSUES' WITH THE CAR SINCE DAY 1. THE 1ST WEEK I OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED, ALTHOUGH THEY HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE, THE CAR WAS MAKING VERY LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND IT WAS DETERMINED THEY HAD 'UNEVEN WEAR.' ALONG WITH THIS, THE 'REAR AXLE SYSTEM OFF' LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY COME ON. NOTHING THE DEALER COULD FIND WITH IT AND IT ALWAYS SEEMED THE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF WHEN IT WAS AT DEALERSHIP. NOW 2 ADDITIONAL SETS OF TIRES, AND THE 'REAR AXLE SYSTEM OFF' LIGHT NOT TURNING OFF, I WAS TOLD REAR AXLE 'PIECES' NEED TO BE REPLACED TO INCLUDE THE REAR AXLE PINS AND PUMP, COSTING 2700.00. ALONG WITH THIS REPAIR THE CAR WILL NEED TO HAVE TIRES REALIGNED DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR AND REAR BRAKES. THE DEALER STATED THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE REAR AXLE UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE RECALL IS 'INCOMPLETE WITH NO SOLUTION.' IN ADDITION, THEY TOLD ME MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO RISK OF THE REAR TIRES LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CUE SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE AND HAD A DELAYED RESPONSE TO TOUCH. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELLING APPROX 65 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO RECORD VIDEO OF THE SYSTEM NOT RESPONDING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DOESN'T NOT TURN ON AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO.

VEHICLE DISPLAYS 'SERVICE REAR AXLE' 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' 'PARK ASSIST TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE' 'AUTOMATIC SEATBELT TIGHTENING UNAVAILABLE'. 4 SEPARATE AND UNIQUE OCCURRENCES. SOME HAVE ALSO INCLUDED 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER'. TYPICALLY THE MESSAGES COME ON AND REDUCED POWER OCCURS AFTER EXPRESSWAY DRIVING, FOLLOWED BY STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING OR TRAFFIC. ALSO AMBIENT TEMPS ARE OVER 80 DEGREES WITH EACH OCCURRENCE. LASTLY ENGINE BAY IS EXTREMELY HOT AFTER THE SERVICE MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED. ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOES NOT INDICATE OVERHEATING (DISPLAYS UNDER THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE GAUGE). I HAVE 2 SEPARATE VIDEO DOCUMENTATIONS THAT CAN BE UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE. 1ST OCCURRENCE RESULTED IN CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT 3 OCCURRENCES HAVE ALL HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY SERVICE. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AFTER THE CAR COOLS DOWN. CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID A SECOND DEALERSHIP REVIEW WAS REQUIRED EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WITH THE ABOVE SERVICE MESSAGES PRESENT. ATTACHED DOCUMENTS DISPLAY FIRST WARRANTY SERVICE, AND SECOND RECORD SERVICE MESSAGES BEING PRESENT. SIMILAR TSB ISSUED FOR THE ATS-V LF4 ENGINE FOR 'SERVICE REAR AXLE' OR 'REAR AXLE OFF', ALSO THE LT4 ENGINE HAS A TSB FOR ENGINE OVERHEATING AND GOING INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WHEN THE CHARGE AIR COOLING SYSTEM IS NOT REFILLED PROPERLY VIA VAC-N-FILL METHOD. THIS VEHICLE HAS A SIMILAR LIQUID TO AIR, CHARGE AIR COOLING SYSTEM, REQUIRING THE SAME TYPE OF FILL METHOD. FULL DISCLOSURE I AM A GENERAL MOTORS EMPLOYEE.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ENGINE STARTED TO HESITATE AND RUN ROUGHLY AND GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE. WHEN PULLED OVER, NOTICED THAT GAS GAUGE WAS GOING DOWN. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND STEPPED OUT. A MASSIVE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE HAD FORMED AROUND VEHICLE, AND GAS WAS DRIPPING FROM THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, AND HAD EVEN GOTTEN INTO THE DOOR JAMS AND WAS RUNNING ONTO THE GROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING 21 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A TREE.

I HAVE TOLD THE DEALER THAT I LEASED THE CAR FROM THAT THERE IS A TERRIBLE GLARE AND REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE DASHBOARD. THE INTERIOR IS A NEW LIGHT COLOR AND THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH REFLECTIONS OF THE CUTOUTS AND VENTS THAT MIRRORS THE WHOLE TOP OF DASH ON WINDSHIELD. WHEN SUN SHINES THERE IS SUCH A DISTRACTION THAT YOUR EYES ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT BEING DISTRACTED. IF A PERSON OR CHILD DARTED IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN I AM DISTRACTED BY A REFLECTION OF ALL THE DESIGNS AND CUTOUTS, IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM CADILLAC. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER CAR WITH A LIGHT COLOR DASHBOARD AND AM SURPRISED THIS WASN'T RESEARCHED BEFORE MANUFACTURING. PLEASE ADVISE.... THANK YOU *TR

ORIGINAL WINDOW LABEL HAS GOVERNMENT 5 STAR RATING FOR FRONTAL CRASH AND ROLLOVER. THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO ME AS THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST CAR. LETTER DATED MAY 16, 2014 FROM GM CHANGED THE 5 STAR RATING TO NO RATING AT ALL. I'M SURE GM USED THE ORIGINAL WINDOW LABEL IN DETERMINING COST OF CAR AND DEALERS USED IT AS A SELLING POINT. THE COST WAS SUBSTANTIAL TO ME AND I MAY NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT AT ALL IF I HAD KNOWN CORRECT SAFETY RATING. I FEEL I WAS DECEIVED, LIED TO, AND MISLEAD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING A 2014 CADILLAC CTS ON 04/27/14, IN FREMONT, CA. VEHICLE CONFIGURATION: 2014 CTS 3.6L RWD PERFORMANCE. VIN, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE: 1G6AS5S39E0[XXX] THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 11AM. THE PLANNED TRAVEL ROUTE WAS AS FOLLOWS: FREMONT CADILLAC, 5939 AUTOMALL PKWY, FREMONT, CA ||| NW ON BOYCE ROAD ||| N ON STEVENSON BLVD ||| INTERSTATE-880S ||| EXIT AUTOMALL PKWY ||| FREMONT CADILLAC. I TRAVELED NORTH ON STEVENSON BLVD AND THEN HEADED FOR THE ONRAMP FOR INTERSTATE 880-SOUTH. WHEN I APPROACHED THE FREEWAY ONRAMP I NOTICED, ALL OF A SUDDEN, A DELAY BETWEEN PEDAL APPLICATION AND POWER. I DEMONSTRATED THIS TO MY PASSENGER TWICE OVER, BY GENTLY LETTING OFF THE GAS AND APPLYING IT AGAIN... AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ACCOMPANIED WITH A LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, AND SHUDDERING DURING GEAR SHIFTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AT THE TIME. ASIDE FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES, NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WERE OBSERVED. I ONLY TRAVELED TWO MILES BEFORE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. AS THIS WAS A BRAND NEW CAR ON A TEST DRIVE, IT OBVIOUSLY HAD VERY FEW MILES ON THE ODOMETER. UPON RETURNING TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THE SALES ASSOCIATES PULLED THE CAR BACK ONTO THE SALES LOT, MOVED OTHER NEW CARS OUT OF THE WAY, AND PARKED THE CAR AMONGST OTHER NEW VEHICLES FOR SALE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOST CERTAINLY NOT PULLED INTO THE SERVICE DRIVE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS UNSETTLING NEWS. I HAVE NO FAITH THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PROPERLY INSPECTED, NOR DO I HAVE FAITH THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL RESPONSIBLY HANDLE THIS MATTER. IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT GM WITHDRAWS THIS VEHICLE FROM DEALER INVENTORY AND PERFORMS AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT OF THE VEHICLE. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 350.
