Everyone with 06 diffs don't get too excited I have a 2006, with 5500 miles on it and the leaks have begun. I'm taking it in thurs if the service manage would answer his phone. |

Took my car to the dealer to get the diff replaced for whine and they are claiming that their hands are tied by a directive by GM for the CTS-V's claiming that no major work can be done without regional rep approval. The regional rep of course being the most hated man on this forum, Larry Marvin. They won't even touch my rattling sunroof without his highnesses approval. The dealer told me to take it somewhere out of his area because they agreed that he probably wouldn't okay any of the work.
Everytime I take my car in for service, I get the itch to get rid of it for something else. Problem is of course, that there is no other car like the V and I'm somewhat stuck with putting up with GM's BS. I just have a feeling that this can't go on much longer before I do finally get rid of it for something that is less of a headache. |

I was there just at Penske last week and Larry was still there. He came out to look at my vehicle. Sucks to hear that Barak, but you cannot say I did not warn you so. Well you cannot say everyone didn't warn you so.  Mine is whining crazy these days, I just drive it and wait for it to blow. If its going to happen, it will, and thats when I'll get it fixed so they cannot complain. Penske's service advisor told me that I drive my car too slow that is why I am having so many problems...I so had them write that in their results and now I am actually enjoying the V with an extended warranty till 100K. Too bad my dealer at Infiniti says i need to slow down! Thats cadillac service for you |

My 04's rear is starting to whine again. The week after it was replaced the first time, they came out with an updated rear. Crossing my fingers |

New diff just installed in my '05.. 9700 miles. This also fixed the high speed vibration problem. I'll follow up with another thread.. |

My '04 V is in for the second time for the rear diff -the service manager took it for a ride and the parade clunk (1st to 2nd) and the pop/clunk from the wheel hop kit (previously installed) actually scared the poor guy! Got a follow up call and they are replacing the diff with the updated version. Just in time for the 25K rear diff fluid change.....I am happy that GM is standing behind this. |
