Rear end noise

Bought brand new. $100,000 in December of 2015. Great price for performance by the way. However, Rear end Noise started in April of '16. In the dealership 5 times for the same problem. Longest at the dealership repair shop was 2 months. Finally GM is buying (took until December of '16) it back but they have lost me. Will not buy another GM. Horrible experience.

Cadillac's lack of quality and responsibility

We are on our 3rd Cadillac and our last. We leased our 3rd CTS V in October of 2017. 11 months remaining on the lease. The car has been in the Service Dept. at a local Cadillac dealer for 6.2 months out of the last 7 months. That's 190 days. Still in the Service Dept. Needed a new engine at 11600 miles. In the shop for 68 days that time. Went right back in for 75 days to repair the damage they did trying to install the new engine the first time. 190 days so far. Getting a new steering box now because it is shredding the tires. Three new turbos, one replaced twice. Rear differential module went out also. We have made all the monthly lease payments to this date. We have asked Cadillac to take the car back 3 times. They have refused every time. Last one was yesterday. I am gathering all the repair documents along with the VIN # to post so you all can see the quality and commitment to the customer that Cadillac lacks. They are a big business bully to the small customer. They know what the right thing to do is and they refuse to do it. Shame on them and GM for how they treat the consumer. Posting Docs asap. This car is a lemon and they know it and will resale it when we turn it back in. Buyer be ware!!!

Most Fun in a Performance Sedan!!

I’ve always enjoyed driving performance sedans. The writers are always critical of CUE which I’ve actually grown to like once you’re used to it. Although not as polished as some of the European competitors the CTS-V is an amazing car. The balance, performance and exclusivity of the vehicle show when driven. The sound is devilish. Fit and finish is excellent and so far no major issues with 17k miles on the car. Only minor problem was with the transmission. GM has a correction with a multiple flush and different fluid. Resale has always been strong with the V vs it’s competitors and is almost cult like. Recaros are firm but comfortable. Highway gas mileage is excellent for a 640hp car and around town isn’t bad as well since it shuts down to 4cyl. If you’re in the market for an over engineered performance sedan that’s RWD this is the one. Way more fun to drive and reminds me of the old school muscle car days. They’re not easy to find as not many were built. In 2019 only 1055 cars so they are limited. Carbon fiber package makes the car look striking. If you’re in the market for an AMG,S6/7 or M5 check out the V. More reliable and way more fun!!
