2006 CADILLAC DTS Power Train Problems

I JUST PURCHASED A 2006 CADILLAC DTS, WE GOT GAS FOR IT AND VERY SOON AFTER WE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF BUT STARTED BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. NONE OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL OR ANYTHING TURNED OFF JUST THE ENGINE. ALSO SOMETIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IDILING IN PARK,DRIVE, OR AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL IDLE VERY LOW THEN THE RPM'S WILL INCREASE TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT A SECOND. IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE CAR DOES THAT WHEN IT REVS UP TO NORMAL IT JERKS. THE LAST PART IS WHEN YOU GET TO LOWER THAN HALF A TANK IT STARTS STUDDERING WHEN YOU COAST THEN ACCELERATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC DTS. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE ALTERNATOR, OIL, AND ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GREAT RIVER CHEVROLET GMC (264 DEVEREUX DRIVE, NATCHEZ, MS 39120, 601-653-4829) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC DTS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

DURING A FAMILY OUTING, I NOTICED A REAR TIRE THAT HAD LOST AIR PRESSURE AGAIN. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO VISIT A DISCOUNT TIRE, TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WE HADN'T RUN OVER A NAIL NOR A SCREW, BUT HAD BECOME THE VICTIMS OF CADILLAC'S INFERIOR PRODUCTION. THE CHROME PLATING BEGAN TO PEEL, AND SEPARATE FROM THE ALLOY WHEELS. I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE INFERIOR AFTERMARKET WHEELS IN ORDER TO GET MY FAMILY HOME. THE INFORMATIVE, AND INTEGRATIVE AGENT AT DISCOUNT TIRE SHOWED ME THAT ALL FOUR OF MY STOCK, CHROME, CADILLAC WHEELS HAD PREMATURELY CORRODED, FORCING MY WIFE AND I TO REPLACE THE WHEELS. WE HAVE BEEN SPUN, DISMISSED, AND IGNORED BY NUMEROUS CADILLAC CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AGENTS, REGARDING THIS ISSUE, IN SPITE OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LOGGED BY OTHER DTS OWNERS, POSTED ONTO GMINSIDER.COM. CADILLAC HAS BEEN WELL ADVISED OF THIS FAILURE, YET CADILLAC FAILS TO ACCEPT THAT THEIR PRODUCT...

I TURNED RIGHT OUT OF MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. I WAS LESS THAN A HALF BLOCK FROM THE LIGHT. I PULLED INTO THE CENTER LANE INTENDING TO TURN LEFT AT THE LIGHT. SUDDENLY MY CAR ACCELERATED RAPIDLY. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE SO HARD MY LEG HURT FOR DAYS. THE CAR ACCELERATED MORE AND THE BRAKE DID NOT STOP IT COMPLETELY. I REAR ENDED A LARGE PICKUP. I WENT BACK TO MY OFFICE AND CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. I REQUESTED THEY CHECK THE "BLACK BOX" COMPUTER MODULE. THEY DID EVENTUALLY DO THAT BUT SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM. NOBODY SEEMS TO BE LISTENING TO WHAT HAPPENED. I OFFERED CADILLAC TO JUST TRADE ME FOR ANY IDENTICAL CAR THEY REFUSED ANY KIND OF HELP. I EVENTUALLY SOLD THE CAR AT A GREAT LOSS. I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR, MY INSURANCE HAS GONE UP DRAMATICALLY AND I AM MORE THAN...
