It was never correct after accident. Purchase 2005 new cts, it shut off while driving, traded it for 2005 cadillac deville, with 13,000 miles, engine leaked oil before warranty off, dealer refused to do anything. Now at 200,000 miles, it leaks 2-3 quarts between oil changes. Does not burn, engine was developed with defect, it leaks oil from bottom. I have spent thousands of dollars to repair. Found over 200 owners have same problems with deville, leaking oil. Reported to gm, they said nothing could be done, refused to assist in repairs or fix the problem.
