| This 2006 cadillac cts is a 6 pspd manual transmission, all other gears work except reverse. this vehicle only has about 20,100 miles which is consistent with less than 2 years of using a vehicle. i was told by the auto dept at gm on maui they will not be paying for the repairs and the problem was the wear and tear in the shift assembly had to be changed. a month later i attempted to get this fixed by the same auto department and was informed they don't have a company that manufactors the parts (part no 1526075) and they cannot find this part anywhere. i believe this is a defect in the shift assembly part and feel gm should have this shift asembly part recalled. checks made on the web revealed that there are numerous complaints about this same issue on cadillac.com and | |||

| The service air bag light came on and has deactivated the passenger side air bag. the problem is being caused by the passenger seat sensor. this is the same issue that is already on the recall for 2005-2007 cadillac cts, but according to the cadillac dealer, the recall does not involve my vin. i suggest that the nhsta review the recall and add all 2005 - 2007 cadillac cts vehicles that display the air bag error be included on the recall. | |||

| I purchased a used cadillac cts from bill jacobs in joliet, il (jefferson st.) i paid for the car with my trade a 07 hummer h3 in perfect working order. i was also to receive payment in cash from the dealership for the difference, which to date i have not received. within 24 hours the car started to vibrate, i contacted the dealer prior to 24 hours being up and notified them that there was something wrong with the car, that had already been certified by the dealership mechanics. i brought the car in for service, and was given a loaner. i explained to several representatives that i was concerned that the car was not reliable and did not have a good feeling about keeping the car due to it being certified by a mechanic and still having mechanical difficulties. the dealer offered to fix the vehicle, i oblidged. the service manager stated that there was an issue with the tires, possibly due to the rims but he needed additional time to determine what the issue was. i spoke with the sales manager and told him that my confidence in his dealership was 0 and that i wanted to just give them the cadillac back and take my reliable car back. john the manager stated that was not going to happen. i explained to him that the car was sold with a mechanical defect and that i had no confidence that this would be a reliable car. i went into the dealership today (09/11) the third day with no car and explained that i was not comfortable with the dealership or thier ability to provide a reliable car to me in the price range that had been negotiated with the previous deal. they outright refused to give me my trade in back and said it was too late. they were unwilling to sell it back to me at the price of the deal for trade and recommended i pick another car on the lot. as was the issue with my original visit, there was no other car i was interested in. i like the car i bought and would have been a pleased consumer had that car not been a defect. i of course became hysterical because th | |||
