problem #2

CTS

  • Automatic transmission
  • 176,000 miles

I bought a new battery it started next day all day with no problem. Then day after that, went to start it dead as hell. I got all the wiring checked out, didn't see nothing but something still killing the battery. I'm just so tired of this car problem.

CTS

  • Automatic transmission
  • 140,000 miles

My 2003 CTS is starting to give me problems (140,000 miles)... I have several issues which could be related; sometimes when I crank the car and release the ignition, it’s as if it re cranks its self after it starts. (2) This past Sunday, I got into the car, turned it on and all of my settings changed (Time, seat memory, etc.). (3) This morning (5/17/11) I went to deactivate the car alarm and open the vehicle with the remote and nothing happened. I thought the battery in my remote was dead. So I manually opened the car like back in the day (with the key) and I noticed no power (all lights, bells and whistles were off). I just bought a brand new battery a month ago. About a minute later the car alarm went off. After scratching my head and turning off the alarm, the car started up when I went to crank it. WHAT THE FUDGE IS GOING ON?
