To all my facebook friends I am going to ask you to please read this and make it go viral. I own a 2007 cadillac cts-v which I paid $41,000.00 when it was new, with loans the car ended up costing me $55,000.00 which I was willing to pay. It is a beautiful car. Now here is what has happened. I now have about 19,190 miles on it and at 15,000 miles I replaced the tires. Being a v they put on bridgestone potenza's. That cost me about $1000.00. At 17,000 miles I had a sensor go out on my right front tire, that controls my brakes. That cost me $600.00. At the same time the dealer told me that I needed front brakes. That only cost me $300.00 because I had a coupon and told them to just replace the pads and do not turn the rotor. At 19,160 miles the left wheel sensor went along with one in the steering wheel. This is going to cost me another $1200.00. The reason I am writing this is because a friend told me about a website called "edmunds car review" and I went on this site to find out that cadillac has had this issue since 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 etc. Most of these people have gotten some satisfaction from cadillac and sold their car before the next repairs. So I beg of you, if you or someone you know is considering buying a cadillac cts, cts-v that they read the edmund report first. I am now contacting the national highway safety administration because apparently the bbb has guide lines that restrict them from doing anything about issues 6 months out of warranty. So please tell all your friends to do the research and look into other luxury cars before buying a cadillac. One more thing, I went to dinner and went to pull into a parking spot and the brake pedal went to the floor and started chattering and the car rolled into the spot.
