Consumer Description

THE DIFFERENTIAL IN MY 03 CADILLAC CTS DEVELOPED A SERIOUS LEAK. THE DEFECT REQUIRED (3) TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR. THE LAST REPAIR, (APPEARS TO BE THE RIGHT ONE) WAS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL. THIS TYPE OF DEFECT CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF DIFFERENTIAL FLUID RESULTING IN FAILURE OF THE UNIT AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND THIS LEAK ON SEVERAL OTHER "03" CTS.*JB
