Cadillac CTS-V 2004 — Reported problems

The output shaft flange for the transmission that mounts to the driveshaft coupler the flange starts to break away and then breaks . I can provide photos but the metal on the part is close the the end and if I did not find this problem by mistake the drive shaft would have came free

I am writing regarding a recent incident regarding the left front control arm of our 2004 CTS Cadillac. There was a recall for the lower control arm ball nut/washer attaching the control arm, which could lead to disengagement of the control arm, disengagement of the wheel and tire, and possible crash. We purchased the car in 2015. The Cadillac Service Center in Beverly Hills confirmed that they have records showing the car was inspected, and the recalled piece replaced in 2006. The dealer at that time was named Martin Cadillac. The night of [XXX], my son was driving the CTS on the freeway at about 50 mph, when the front left tire and wheel suddenly twisted out of place and rendered the car undrivable. Fortunately, he was not injured or worse, but he was stranded in the middle of a busy freeway for more than 30 minutes until AAA arrived. The car was then towed to our home and towed to our mechanic the following day. The repair needed and done was to replace the left front control arm, precisely the area noted in the recall notice. Also, it was necessary to repair the undercarriage that was damaged by the dislocated wheel and tire. The left front fender was also damaged by the action of the detached tire and wheel. The total repair cost we paid was $793.13 for the control arm and undercarriage. We are not currently driving the car, as we are concerned that the car is still unsafe.

The repairs needed and done were to replace the left front control arm, precisely the area noted in the recall notice. Also, it was necessary to repair the undercarriage that was damaged by the dislocated wheel and tire. The left front fender was also damaged by the action of the detached tire and wheel.

ON MAY 18TH, 2018 I PURCHASED A 2004 CADILLAC CTS FROM TOP NOTCH AUTO. THE GAS GAUGE, BRAKES, A/C, BLINKERS DASH BUTTONS ALL WERE NOT WORKING. HE SAID TO BRING IT THE NEXT DAY AND THEY WOULD FIX IT ALL. I RAN OUT OF GAS GETTING THERE THE NEXT DAY DUE TO NOT HAVING A WORKING GAS GAUGE. I SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY THERE AND THEY DID NOTHING TO FIX THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY THE COMPUTER (ECM) WENT OUT ON THE CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BAD. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK AND THEY SAID NO BUT WOULD FIX IT AND THEY HAD THE CAR FOR OVER TWO WEEKS. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FIXED BUT I NOTICED THE CAR WENT FROM 176000 MILES TO 101000 MILES (ODOMETER ROLLED BACK). I ASKED ABOUT THIS AND HE SAID IT WAS LEGAL AND NECESSARY TO FIX THE CAR. THE DAY AFTER GETTING IT BACK THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20MPH ON THE ROAD. THE CODES READ PO121, PO23 AND THIS TIME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND WIRING THAT WERE BAD. THE DEALER WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. I PAID $498 OUT OF POCKET AND ANOTHER 3 DAYS WITHOUT THE CAR.

THEY SAID THEY BRAKES ARE FINE (THEY ARE NOT) AND HE TOOK MY KEYS AND WOULD NOT RETURN THEM UNTIL I SIGNED DOCUMENTATION SAYING I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN OR TAKE HIM TO COURT. IT IS NOW JULY 9TH, 2018 AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME MY PLATES OR REGISTRATION AND SAY I AM STUCK PAYING FOR THIS DEATH TRAP OF A CAR.

WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER, THE WIPERS CONTINUE TO RUN AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. AT TIMES THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WIPERS IS TO PULL THE FUSE. OTHER TIMES, SIMPLY TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES ALSO WORKS.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR IS USED BUT EXCELLENT CONDITION AND RECENTLY PURCHASED. I FELT A JOLT GOT OFF THE NEXT EXIT AND CAR WILL NOT START, ALL BATTERIES COME ON, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS

I HAVE OR HAD A 2004 CADILLAC CTS-V. IT HAD GIVEN ME SOME PROBLEMS WITH TURNING. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I MADE TURNS ONTO ANOTHER STREET OR EVEN WHEN I TOOK AN ON RAMP ONTO AN INTERSTATE, I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR. IT SEEMS TO LOOSE TRACTION, LIKE THE TRACTION CONTROL GOT TURNED OFF (WHICH IT HADN'T) AND BEGAN DRIFTING/SWERVING ON THE ROAD WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES, UNTIL FINALLY IT DID. THANKSGIVING OF 2017 IT FINALLY DID CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND A DEATH OF ONE OF MY FRIENDS. I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN ONE NIGHT ON THE WAY TO DROP OFF SOME FRIENDS WHEN MY VEHICLE KEPT TURNING, LIKE IT SWUNG OUT, AND HIT A POLE, CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND TAKING THE LIFE OF ONE OF MY PASSENGERS THAT NIGHT.

ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2017, WHILE DRIVING FROM WORK I HAD TO SUDDENLY APPLY TO MY BRAKES. IN THE PROCESS, FROM OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR JUST CUT OFF AND CONTINUE TO CRUISE ALONG. I HAD TO CRUISE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND AT THE SAME TIME MY STERN WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. ONCE I CAME TO A STOP ON SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY I ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN MY IGNITION SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION FOR ME, BECAUSE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

KEY GOT STUCK IN IGNITION IN THE START POSITION. CAR WON'T START NEITHER TURN OFF COMPLETELY WON'T TURN OFF LEAVING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD ON THUS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO RUN DEAD. MY TRACTION AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE WITH A WARN SIGNAL SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND BRAKE SYSTEM.

CAR WITH INTERMITTANT STARTING PROBLEMS. CAR WAS ABLE TO TAKE A JUMP BUT NO LONGER ABLE TO TAKE JUMPS. WENT TO START CAR AND KEY STUCK IN IGNITION, TEMP GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING. SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM ON. THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO MOVE FROM DRIVEWAY. HAS TRIED BOTH CARS KEYS AND NO CHANGE. HAD BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED. ALL WERE FINE. CAR STILL STUCK.

MY BRAKING POWER ASSIST FAILS OCCASIONALLY WHEN I AM MAKING A HARD TURN (AS WHEN PARKING), EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT , BUT RECOVERS WHEN I STRAIGHTEN OUT MY STEERING WHEEL. THIS BEGAN AFTER I REPLACED MY FRONT WHEEL ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AT AROUND120,000 MILES. MY POWER ASSIST UNIT FAILED COMPLETELY AROUND 138.000 MILES, SO I HAD IT AND MY MASTER BRAKE UNIT REPLACED.

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE OCTOBER 2016. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT AFTER MY MECHANIC RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON 1/19/2017, THE READING SHOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SEAT WHICH CAUSES THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" TO HIGHLIGHT IN THE INFORMATION CENTER OF THE STEREO SYSTEM AT EVERY STARTUP OF THE ENGINE.

SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM HAS CAME ON RANDOMLY WHICH WOULD NOT LET THE CAR BE MOVED OUT OF PARK. WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE KEY TO NOT BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION. THE CAR ALSO HAS INTERMITTENT STARTS AND CAN BE JUMPED AT THE STARTER RELAY IN THE FUSE PANEL. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. IT MAKES THE GAS GAUGE AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE NOT WORK BUT SPEED AND RPM DO WORK.T HE LIGHTS ON THE SHITTER DO NOT WORK ALONG WITH RC NOT FUNCTIONING AND THEFT SYMBOL SHOWING ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALSO..
