| Water (rain and washing) get inside on the door wells (i think that's what you call them) and the part of the door where the latch is. i noticed the first time i washed the car in 8/07. the autobody shop couldn't say why and the dealership really didn't investigate it. also the rear driver's side door latch/lock will freeze and door will swing open!! i have since learned not to use this door when its below 32 degrees. after raining and the car has been sitting, the brakes squeak. also have a noise in front when turning. *tr | |||

| I purchased my 07 cts new oct. 2007 (my sex is female). my car has been in & out of the dealers shop numerous times. some of my problems rear end slip growl, trunk opens, 3 water leaks, message lights engaging, driver seats malfunctions, brakes, service lights, rust, front noise, window, door handles, a/c & 2 recalls. some of my concerns get addresses alot they say they can't duplicate. my car lost full power for a short time in oct. of 2008. i lost my lemon law case through the bbb in sep. 2008. i did get a invoice from my dealership on error while preparing for my lemon law case. my car was in the dealers shop for six days painting the deck lid before i even bought my car (i was never told about this). dealer claims nothing major just minor. now in oct. of 2008 i've learned something more has happened to my car before i bought it. i've discovered my car has weld marks on the inside trunk area? the dealership owner says no way that happened on his lot that my car came from the manufacturer like that. the dealership owner can't explain the weld marks on my car. again i bought this car brand new. i've been through lots of tears with the performance of my car & now it's been damaged too. my car still has performance problems to this day. i've even learned that a couple of my accessories that i paid lots of $$$$ for the dealership to install where done poorly. *tr | |||

| The display on the radio will only show one word of the artist or song. the dealership said that this was a flaw of the 2007 cts radio and there was nothing that could be done. i contacted cadillac and the restated what the dealership said and based her conclusion on the dealerships testing on one other 07 cts. this is disappointing since i paid an extra $1,500.00 for the bose system. *tr | |||

| Mileage: 4,833 i had been waiting in line at a carwash, and when it was my turn to enter, i began to slowly move forward. as i was inching forward, my car began to move faster than it should. i applied the brake, but i did not have any and my steering was locked. it felt like my car stalled, but at the same time, it kept moving forward. fortunately, i was able to engage my emergency brake to prevent me from crashing. this is the 2nd time this has happened. the first time was in august of '07. that time, i was parked at the top of my sloped driveway. the car lurched forward and i had no brakes or steering and my car rolled down the hill and into a brick wall. i ended up in the er with a neck injury. the dealership found nothing. my car has been in and out of the dealership for various problems tied to the electrical system of the car. (ex. the traction control would engage inappropriately or would stop me dead in the middle of the road, the trunk came open while i was driving, it would have pickup hesitation, it would also feel as if it were accelerating itself while i was driving, my oil life reading was off by 38%, car had to be reprogrammed because the power train system detected a malfunction in the engine control system, the gas gauge and low fuel warning lights are not performing accurately.) as of today, my car has been in the shop for 17 days as they continue to attempt to fix my problems. if you factor in the time it was in their after my accident due to the malfunction of the car, it has been over 77 days in the past 10 months. *tr | |||
