NHTSA Complaint #10165600 — 2005 CADILLAC CTS

SEVERAL REAR END DIFFERENTIAL FAILURES. 1 AT 4000 MILES, THE SECOND AT 8000 MILES. AND THE THIRD IS LOUD AND MAKES NOISES FROM THE DAY I GOT IT BACK. GM TRIED TO VOID AND NOT COVER THE REAR END SO I HAD TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER STATE FOR THEM TO FIX IT FOR ME. THEY JUST START OUT QUIET AND THEN GET LOUDER AND LOUDER AND LOUDER. THE LAST ONE DIED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AT 40 MPH DURRING REGULAR DRIVING. REAR LOCKED UP THEN BROKE UP IN HALF. IT KILLED THE DRIVESHAFT AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTS WHEN IT LOCKED UP. I HAVE HAD 20+ GM CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND THIS ONE IS THE WORST BUILT REAR END EVER. IF I TRIED, I BET I COULD KILL IT IN ONE FULL THROTTLE LAUNCH. BUT, OF COARSE WONT TRY THAT CAUSE IT WILL BREAK.... ALSO, NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT, CLUTCH UPDATE, AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS DONE. THE RADIO ACTS FUNNY AND PAINT ON ONE BUTTON IS COMMING OFF, AND MY HEAD LINER LIGHTS DONT WORK. ALSO I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES 2 TIMES ALREADY WITH FACTORY REPLACEMENTS AND I ONLY HAVE 10,000 MILES ON MINE???
