| The cars engine runs away with my car when i am sitting with my foot on the brake or at very slow idle with my foot on the brake. the problem is one that needs to be recalled. the internet is full of the same complaint for the same year and mileage,( 29,000-32,000 miles ). i am reaching out to you because my car is at the dealer, nothing has been done to fix the problem, and i refuse to take my car back at this point. i paid cash for this car and this is the second time it has been in for the same problem. on monday afternoon i pulled into my bank with cars in front of me and beside me. i came to a stop, had my foot on the brake and all hell broke loose. my car lunged forward, my engine was screaming, my speedometer said 80 mph, i had both feet on the brake to not hit the woman in front, my rear wheels were smoking and screaming and my car was jumping side to side because of the spinning wheels and nowhere to go because at this point i am standing on the brake with both feet. someone screamed turn off the ignition and the moment was over. courtesy chevrolet in salisbury md, just called to say the problem didn't throw a code so cadillac won't pay them to look and fix the problem. if they wont fix what's wrong they can keep the vehicle and i want my money back and as i told them i won't stop until i get someone to listen and warn others of this problem. i have researched the internet and this is a very serious problem widespread and these cars need to be recalled. my husband says it's probably a problem in the computer that when the precise pressure is applied to the brake, the signal to the engine is go not stop. *tr | |||

| I was traveling at 25mph when there was a sudden very loud explosive/grinding noise(it brought people running out of adjacent buildings). i hit my brakes immediately, but the noise continued until i put it into park. i exited the car and under the rear axle of my vehicle were multiple large bolts and screws lined up in a row. the vehicle was totally disabled, and subsequently was towed to the dealer. they determined that all the rear axle bolts just fell out at once.there was no other damage found to the vehicle. my concerns remain as to why did this happen and what if i had been going at an accelerated rate of speed? multiple experienced mechanics and specialist (including cadillac) have no answers to these questions and have never seen this happen before. *tr | |||

| 1. car stalls/hesitates on right turn. dealer service could not replicate. problem started at ownership, and continues at 25k miles. problem not corrected. 2. check engine light: car vibrates/shakes standing at idle. 21 days out of service. 3 dealers; four visits. one dealer could not extinguish check engine light. dealer disassembled engine and made repairs. (exhaust is noticeably louder (not repaired) and the fm radio will not work when the rear defroster is switched on--i suspect a ground wire was broken during the repair (not repaired). | |||

| My 2008 cadillac cts v6 di awd has a dangerous acceleration lag when you step on the gas to pass or get out of the way of a hazard in road. there is about a 1-2 sec lag between stepping on pedal and rpms moving, and about another second or so before any pick up happens. doesn't sound like much, but no other car i have had, did this. at the speed of oncoming vehicles, a 1-2 second lag can mean a 30 - 60 yards of distance being traveled by an oncoming car or truck. that sight fills up rear view mirror fast. in my opinion, this is a serious design flaw and potentially death causing defect. this happens anytime i need quick acceleration, and is also happening in other cars i tried at dealership to see if it was just mine. *tr | |||
