NHTSA Complaint #10672719 — 2007 CADILLAC CTS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A TERRIBLE CLUNK FOLLOWED BY GRINDING. I STOPPED TO LOOK UNDER THE CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMETHING FELL OUT OR OF THE CAR. I GOT IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN LEAKING. I HAD CONTACTED CADILLAC EARLIER IN THE 2014 TO CHECK ON RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I THINK IT SHOULD'VE BEEN UNDER RECALL. I READ THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE CTS, BUT CADILLAC REFUSES TO MAKE IT RIGHT ON OLDER MODELS. I AM JUST GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING AT 70 MPH OR SOMEBODY COULD'VE BEEN KILLED. I AM $2,200 IN THE HOLE NOW... *TR
