Hello Everyone!
Ok I was really hoping to deliver the silver bullet fix for the vibration issues so many of us are having with our CTS's between 40 MPH and 70 MPH.
I have been trying to get GM to fix my CTS since I picked it up in late November.
The new PIP that was just released for this issue instructs the dealer to install:
F2143 Carrier Assembly (complete) Rear Differential Replace. From my paperwork the part number looks to be:
20827776
From what I was told the regional cadillac engineer and district service manager were the two people who tended to my car.
Here is what I have to report:
It is WORSE
My shudder prior to the new part install was a "slow shudder" starting at 45/50mph. After the part install the shuddeer is now a "fast shudder" starting at 35mph and continues all the way up to at least 80mph as that's the fastest I got the car up to.
I don't understand how on earth the engineers didn't feel this as I felt it within 2 minutes of leaving the dealership.
NOTE: my paperwork states, "Rear axle mount insulators developed by GM engineering to enhance customer satisfaction were installed to ensure optimal performance..."
SO there we have it, the 2008/2009 CTS platform does in fact have a design/engineering/production flaw which contributes to NVH and for me a very noticeable shudder.
Such a shame, the CTS is a beautiful design but just not the car I thought it would be (for me...)

If this IS the solution (CadiJ - Let us know ASAP), then I just may bring buying a new CTS from the back burner to the front!  |
