NHTSA Complaint #11119304 — 2007 CADILLAC CTS

MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. THEN MY ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD TRUCK. NO WARNING CAME. THE CHECK ENGINE LITE NEVER WENT ON SO I STOP DRIVING IT TILL IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED AND WHEN I STARTED UP THE CAR THE ENGINE BLEW. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH A LIFETIME LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND IT COVERS THE ENGINE. THE WARRANTY IS GOOD FOR LIFE AS LONG AS I OWN THE CAR AND KEEP UP ON ALL MAINTANCE AT A GM DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID FOR 8 YRS. THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM CLOSED. I CALLED GM AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY STATED I NEED TO GO TO THE WARRANTY COMPANY. NOTHING STATES IN MY WARRANTY IF THE DEALERSHIP CLOSES THAT MY WARRANTY IS INVALUED. THAT IS NOT RIGHT I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD PAY THE COST OF THIS ENGINE BECAUSE I BELIEVE MY CHECK ENGINE LITE WAS FAULTY.
