NHTSA Complaint #10396312 — 2004 CADILLAC CTS

BOUGHT CAR IN 4-2009. FIRST THROTTLE WENT OUT WITHIN 20 DAYS, REPLACED BY DEALER. DEALER WENT BANKRUPT WITHIN A MONTH. SECOND THROTTLE REPLACED 8-2010, THIRD 2-2011, AND FOURTH THROTTLE WENT OUT YESTERDAY (4-4-2011.) ONE GM DEALER REFUSED TO MAKE REPAIR, CALLING CAR A "PROBLEM CHILD." (I.E. LEMON) ANOTHER SAID THEY DID NOT WANT TO, BUT WOULD REPLACE THROTTLE, BUT WOULD NOT HANDLE THE WARRANTY. I HAVE CALLED GM AT LEAST FIVE TIMES, TALKING FOR HOURS, AND THEY REFUSE TO THINK THIS IS THEIR PROBLEM. I HAVE REPEATEDLY BROUGHT UP THE DANGEROUS SITUATION A THROTTLE GOING OUT CREATES WHEN THE CAR LOOSES POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. THEY JUST DON'T CARE. GM DOES HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THROTTLE PROBLEMS. I HAVE PUT @ 5,000 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE PURCHASE IN 2009.
