There needs to be an in-depth investigation regarding the number of Cts and Cts-V rear differentials that have been replaced. I have now been through 2 personally, and an online poll of 65 Cts-V owners showed this: 26% have had 1 replacement, 5% have had 2 or more replaced, and 8% have had 3 or more replaced. The link for this poll is: cadillacforums.com/forums/showthread.php?P=305662&posted=1#post305662. Please contact me regarding any information learned. Thank you.!

Loud high pitch howling noise heard from inside at approximately 40 mph and over. The first trip to the dealer I was told it was a wind noise. The second time at the dealer's I was told it is a normal characteristic of the 2003 Cts.
