Complaint so submitted. Incidentially, I am waiting for the dealer to get the parts (new differential and updated clutch) to administer to my semi-trusty stead. The dealer (Tropical Cadillac, here in Bradenton, FL) has so far been very willing to deal with the situation.

When everything is done, I will definitely post a rating on the dealership.

Incidentily, I briefed the assistant service manager, Mr. Chad Chupka, on the Forum and the fact that we share the ratings for good dealerships (and especially the bad ones!!

)
He said he understood fully the need for such a system!! We shall see!

Just got a new diff ordered for my 05 V. Complained about the 'clunk' and the fact that what used to be the singing rear end in 4th had now expanded from 3rd to 6th.

Dealer ordered it up, gave me the car back and will replace in warranty once it arrived from Michigan.

naiculnila -

Talk to us about BBB. If we can file with some sort of uniform method it would help.

WW - 3rd diff finally whining despite several flushes with quality synthetic and excessive abusive driving

Ok, brand new to the forum and just purchased a '06 CTS-V this past Sat.

(YEAH!!) wanted to know if I should still post....?

Did they fix this problem in '06? thx!

My 04 with 23,000 is in the shop awaiting new rear diff.
It's not a matter of if ... just when. My number was up.

I am shock to hear this stuff. I purchased a 2006, CTS, 3.6 w/ sport package with 3600 miles. Dealer's car. Drove car home on Saturday. Had to bring car back the following Friday due to a leak at rear end of car. I saw thick oil spots on garage floor. (Rear end seal) Cadillac fixed the problem but are you saying these cars have rear end problems?

Wow, only 35 complaints between 04 and 05. Where's everyone else!

11,500 miles and my diff finally has a noticeable whine. I knew it was inevitable, but I always wondered whether the diff would break before it would start whining. I also wondered if this forum would create ghost whines in my head, but now that I can hear it over the radio, I'm certain that it is not merely my perception.

I plan to file my complaint as soon as I see what the dealer will do. My question is, where in SoCal is a good dealer to have my diff replaced? I've heard Whittier and Tustin are good dealerships, any other suggestions? All the dealerships close to me are under the evil grip of Larry Marvin, the imports MVP.

I use PENSKE (Torrance) and they treat me great.

Most dealerships know that the rear end is a POS and it is just a matter of how many you have gone through and wether it is leaking or howling.

Sorry for your problem.

Correction. Since my new one (an 05 not an 06 darn it) was installed, I have no whine or leaks. I do believe that not only is the diff underated, but that there was a production problem resulting in even more failures.

I had my **5th** rear diff installed a month and a half ago, the '06 model, and its started to whine even worse than the previous diffs that were replaced because of severe whine. This one has started to sound like a jet taking off and slowing down between about 5mph and 45mph. C'mon GM wtf!

I just had the diff replaced for the first time on my 8,700 mile '05. The dealer was very good about it. They had their lead tech guy ride with me and agreed the diff needed to be replaced. Ordered an '06 diff and installed it yesterday. It's nice and quiet so far. Time will tell how long it stays that way.
