2014 Cadillac CTS Steering Problems

I just recently purchased my Cadillac. And the rear end is going out! I literally cannot even drive it anywhere because it is about to lock up completely. It will barely go and definitely doesn't want or like to go uphill. I could hardly go 20 miles per hour when I parked it the other night. There has not been an incident yet but if I hadn't parked it, it could've locked up completely when I was going down the highway is what my mechanic friend told me. It was not bad until just the day before it got to this point. It was making a little bit of a humming noise which I thought was just a wheel bearing the other night because that's exactly what it sounded like. But, the night I parked it it had started making like a loud thumping noise when I would try to accelerate. The more I would accelerate the louder the noise and it just didn't want to go. So, I parked it and that's where it's been since. So, I got online to look and see if there were any recalls for this issue. I find that there is a recall for the 2014 Cts-V for the rear end. I think it's not only the Cts-V models I think it's the regular Cts's as well. Can you check into this for me because I literally just bought this car and haven't even gotten my license plate yet and now I can't even do that or go anywhere for that matter. I am a business owner and I rely on my vehicle and I can't even get to work to open my store right now,. I would greatly appreciate it if you could check into if this recall shouldn't be extended to the regular Cts models as well. Thanks and have a great day.

At the moment, the vehicle is releasing a strong order smells like burning oil or gasoline. It’s coming from the rear of the vehicle. You can smell it immediately when you step out and in the car. The rear is making a loud cranking noise and starting to shake. It appears based on the information that it’s a huge possibility it’s my rear differential going out. It posses a threat due to the anticipation of the brakes locking and causing a serious accident to my family or other on the road. Ive taken very good care if the vehicle and done all the required maintenance on the vehicle. Went though GM motors repair shops

I was driving and it started rattling and getting very bumpy. I exited the freeway and came to a stop. The vehicle would no longer move. I had it towed to my mechanic. The right front axle broke. He replaced it and drove it around the block for a test drive. It was very loud and turning tight when the left axle broke. It has been diagnosed with a bad differential. Everyone I have spoke with at multiple Cadillac dealerships, including someone at a dealership over 30 years, have said they never seen this type of problem and especially on such a newer vehicle with only 84,000 miles. It was a very dangerous situation and if it never happens why did it happen to mine? I’m thinking something is faulty in the differential etc.

THE EPS SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIME FAILS 03IN MOTION

I CANNOT GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED IN THE ALLOTTED TIME DUE TO PARTS NOT BEING ON HAND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE STEERING GEAR EXPERIENCED A SHORT CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. THE ENTIRE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED.

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH ON A STRAIGHT, FOUR LANE ROAD. IT MADE A LOUD THUMP AND FELT AS IF THE BRAKES WERE SLAMMED ON. THE CAR PULL HARD LEFT AND THE REAR TIRES WERE SMOKING. MANAGED TO GET THE CAR BACK TO THE RIGHT AND STOPPED AFTER HITTING THE CURB. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. THE ELSD IS ON BACKORDER AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 90 DAYS.

MY STEERING RACK AND PUMP WENT AT ONLY 26,000 MILES. IF I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME IT WENT I WOULD HAVE HAD AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. YOU COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE AT ALL. IT COST ME 2275 FOR THE PART AND 6 HOURS LABOR @750.00. I THINK WITH ONLY 26000MILES THIS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAPPEND.

DRIVING AT 10PM SOUTH ON HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH ON LEFT SHOULDER 20MIN IN AND 10 MIN TO GET TO MY DESTINATION (HOME) ON MIDDLEL LANE N AN 18 WHEELER TRIED TO MERGE TO LEFT (GUSSSING HE DID NOT SEE CAR) SO TO AVOID BEING SWIPED BY SEMI SAID ED STEERING WILL TO LEFT OFF TO EXIT MEDIAN CLOSE TO CEMENT BARACADE SEMI PASSED GOT BACK ON ROAD 5 MINUTES IN SIDE LEFT & RIGHT ALSO FRONT AND BACK AIR BAGS DEPLOYED LOST CONTROL OFF VEHICLE AND SPINNED OUT OF FREEWAY & STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UNABLE TO START VEHICLE CAR FACING SOUTH NOW AND OFF HIGHWAY REALIZED THE ONLY THING HIT WAS A FRONT GRILL WHERE CADILLAC SIGN NEXT TO IT GRILL WAS CRACKED COUPLE OF SCUFFS BUT NO OTHER BODY DAMAGES AND FRONT AIRBAGS DINT DEPLOY SO QUESTIONING IF POSSIBLE UNDETECTED MALFUNCTIONS PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE AGENT LAKIESHA WOODSON NO POLICE REPORT BECAUSE I DINT GET HIT OR HIT ANYTHING OR ANYBODY HAVE A REPAIR INVOICE - STATING AN 18K ESTIMATE & CONSIDERED TOTALED DUE TO AIRBAGS AND TOW SERVICE OF $700 THAT NEITHER DELEARSHIP OR INSURANCE WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DELEARSHIP STATES THAT SINCE INSURANCE INVOLVED CANNOT HAVE CAR TOWED TO GM/CADILLAC SERVICE CENTER AND INSURANCE STATES I'M AT FAULT BECAUSE I'M THE ONE THAT SWERVED FROM SEMI BUT HAVE STATED I AVOIDED TO BE HIT OR PUSHED OFF ROAD AND IT WAS WAY AFTER THAT IS WHEN AIRBAGS JUST DEPLOYED FOR NOTHING OR DUE TO IT BEING ALL ELECTRIC IS JUST TOO SENSITIVE AND LATE IN REACTING EITHER WAY THAT'S WHAT CAUSED ME LOOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE WAS NOT EXPECTING THE DEPLOYMENT... HAD I OTHERWISE HIT OR BEEN HIT I WOULD ASUME THE FRONT AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AS WELL AND THERE WOULD BE MORE BODY DAMAGE OTHER THAN JUST AIRBAGS AND A FALLEN OFF FRONT FENDER JUST FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE EVEN IF IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE IT IS WHAT HAPPENED JUST NO ONE WANTS TO ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY DEDUCTIBLE $500

THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL BROKE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. WHICH MADE DRIVING THE CAR VERY UNSAFE. I PULLED OVER AND I GOT THE PART REPAIRED BY THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT SEAT HEATER. WHEN WEATHER IS COOLER AND I ACTIVATE THE SEAT HEATER I EXPERIENCED THE SEAT GETTING EXCESSIVELY HOT AND I NEARLY BURN MYSELF. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE HEATER SEAT AND COVER THE SEAT SO I DON'T GET HURT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY DURING TO HOW HOT THE SEAT HAD GOT. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE SHIFTER SELECTOR CABLE DETACHED AS I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON THE STREET (VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION) I WAS DRIVING AND PULLED UP PARK AND NOTICE THE SHIFTER KNOB WAS MOVING BUT THE INDICATOR WAS STUCK IN THE WRONG SELECTION. I HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BREAK AND ORDER A TOW TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR THE CARBWAS IN OR COULD I CHANGE GEARS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD RECALLS FOR THESE ITEMS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES BUT DENIED TO HELP ME BECAUSE THE RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC WHICH I DID NOT KNOW AND MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. I AM LEFT WITH A HUGE CAR REPAIR BILL FOR DEFECTED PARTS SOLD WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR. *TR

TURNED CAR ON AFTER PARKING AT A LOT. REVERSED TO EXIT AND THEN SUDDENLY, A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING "POWER STEERING. DRIVE CAREFULLY". POWER STEERING WENT OFF ENTIRELY. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. COULD BARELY GET CAR BACK INTO PARKING SPOT. TURNED ENGINE OFF TWICE BUT THE STEERING DID NOT CORRECT SELF. AFTER ENGINE WAS OFF FOR 10MINUTES WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.
