| We were leaving a diner parking lot in the afternoon, when i had to stop for a delivery truck blocking our exit. when the truck pulled forward i lightly pressed the accelerator and the car began to surge forward and to our left(my wife was in the car with me). i pressed down on the brakes and the car continued forward and began to turn to the right and i tried to steer the car to the left but the steering did not respond resulting in my hitting two parked cars. i had the car towed to the cadillac dealer. the dealer indicated that there was nothing wrong with the car and suggested that the surge was caused my a secondary car mat but could not explain the steering problem. this same situation occurred during our severe snow storm last winter. at the time i assumed it was due to icing conditions on the road and my dealer indicated that they had reset the car codes to correct any errors(stability control light stayed on) | |||

| There is a steering problem felt vibration coming from steering when making turns, took to one dealership who claimed it is fixed, and it wasnt, took it to another dealership two week later for steering vibration, they found out the drive shaft needs replacement. the worst investment of my life since the car had also a water leak from the sunroof which they claimed it was a manufacturer's defect. | |||

| 2009 cadillac cts *gr the consumer stated from time to time, while waiting for a red light to change with his foot on the brake, the vehicle would suddenly surge into the intersection almost causing an accident or when parking and shifting from reverse into drive, the vehicle would suddenly surge forward. the consumer has taken the vehicle to the dealer several times, but they were unable to duplicate the problem. the consumer also stated the steering wheel locked which made it impossible for him to turn the ignition on. on three occasions, he had to call for assistance. *jb | |||
