| Less than a year ago we purchased our 2005 cadillac cts from cadillac of turnersville, nj. i just recently noticed a shimmy while driving and decided to inspect the tires and found that both front tires have a large bubble in the outer sidewall. the tires are goodyear / eagle rs-a p225/55r16 94h. i looked online and noticed a large recall on goodyear / eagle rs-a tires with sidewall failure noted and would like to now report the issue with ours and see what we need to do to have the tires recalled and replaced as soon as possible, as i am not able to safely drive the car until we replace them. we have a newborn son and get very nervous at the thought of what could have happened if i hadn't paid the close attention to the mild shimmy as soon as i did. please help. thank you, your assistance in this matter is much appreciated. *tr | |||

| Several rear end differential failures. 1 at 4000 miles, the second at 8000 miles. and the third is loud and makes noises from the day i got it back. gm tried to void and not cover the rear end so i had to take it to another state for them to fix it for me. they just start out quiet and then get louder and louder and louder. the last one died with my family in the vehicle at 40 mph durring regular driving. rear locked up then broke up in half. it killed the driveshaft and several other parts when it locked up. i have had 20+ gm cars in my lifetime and this one is the worst built rear end ever. if i tried, i bet i could kill it in one full throttle launch. but, of coarse wont try that cause it will break.... also, needed a wheel alignment, clutch update, and several other things done. the radio acts funny and paint on one button is comming off, and my head liner lights dont work. also i have had to replace all 4 tires 2 times already with factory replacements and i only have 10,000 miles on mine??? | |||

| I purchased a used 2005 cadillac in dec. 2005 with six thousand miles. at 12000 i took the car to a dealer because of front end vibration and he said the good year tires had flat spots and recommended that i put another brand of tires on the car. after two months cadillac has only agreed to replace two tires and i pay for two. all four tires are bad. cadillac and the dealer has tried to place fault with me but i have complied with all the warranty requirements. these are defective tires and cadillac will not cover their warranty. *jb | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2005 cadillac cts. the contact stated that the ecm (engine control module) failed three times. two of those times, the dealer performed repairs. while driving 50 mph, the tire flattened. cadillac refused to come out and make the repair. the contact stated that the failure was supposed to be covered under warranty. another issue was that the low tire pressure system failed to indicate when the pressure was low. the contact was concerned that the winter weather conditions could cause the failures to worsen. the powertrain was unknown. the current mileage was 17,000 and failure mileage was 3,615. | |||

| Replaced tire because of screw in tire. upon replacement i found out the tire only had 3/32 of tread life remaining. goodyear eagle f1 p245/45 xr18 had less than 10,000 miles and was oem equipment on 2005 cadillac cts-v. excessive tire wear on a 1-year old vehicle is unacceptable and prone to fail because consumers are unaware of such minimal tire life. *jb | |||
