OK, picked it up yesterday. Service manager refused to give me any paperwork on this repair.........said all I would do is give it to an attorney for ammunition against them. So.........after hearing about twenty minutes of bullshit talk about stereo hook-ups, cell phone chargers, etc. I had to leave, it was getting just too bizarre for words. Mechanic who worked on it this time said that if you want to add any aftermarket electrical things you should bring another power source into play.........what?? Took it directly up to my stereo guy who showed me all the hook-ups (direct to battery on amp, with an in-line fuse). Sirius unit hooked to "spare" fuse site under back seat.......no problems there, so........nothing stereo involved here. THAT'S why they didn't want to put it in writing for me. Anyway, went to the local Caddy dealer and when I told them the story they all busted a gut laughing, that made me feel REAL good about the whole thing. Salesman then came into the service office and asked about the non-start problem. He described it perfectly.........said, "that's no problem, we just fixed two other CTS's with the same problem, just re-programmed the computer, simple fix." Now I was really pissed. All that time and effort for a simple fix solution.......what is wrong with these dealerships? Anyway, got a call from their general manager offering a solution, trade, whatever. Told him I didn't feel like it was his place since I bought four vehicles, including this CTS from another dealer (who happens to be a sister store, found THAT out yesterday as well.) He said he would call that store's general manager and have him call me. I said, "good luck, he hasn't returned ANY of my calls and my certified letter request hasn't received any attention either". Got an email last night from the Lemon Law firm, they want the case so I have to make a decision soon. Looked at a GTO last night, it was raining so I didn't want to test drive it. Did start it up though and it sounded so bad it was scary...........gonna make a deal by Friday.
