I was driving down the road going Bout 29 miles per hour when I heard a big boom. It sounded ND felt like I had hit something. So I slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road put the car in park looked underneath nothing was there. I then preceeded to my at. Which thank God was only another block away.I started going only going maybe 5 miles per hour at this point because it sounds like I'm dragging like metals on the ground. When I got to my apt. I went to park the car when I went to put it into park it would not go when I went to reverse it would nit go it still went into drive and thTs it and even getting it into driveyou really had to push it and it felt like the tires were going to wobble off, I mean bye this time it just felt like the car was gonna fall apart shaking abd wobbling all over because I kept trying g to go from drive to neutral to get it to go into park but it didn't budge I had to leave it in neutral and put on the emergency break and shut the car off leaving my key I side cause it wS stuck due to the car not going into park. When I came out of my apt. I wS just frazzled I didn't understand whT wS going on she hD been running beautifully. But I did remember when I first test drove her I had told the sales man she had felt like I wS pulling something she wS kinda hesitant to excelerate. He assured me she's had a 5 star inspection and the whole cars under warranty ND he works on cadillacs himself. Yada Yada Yada. I had called. Friend to come help me tow her home. He tried to get her to manually go into drive but it still wouldn't budge he thought maybe the shift link u til we got her home it was the drive shaft it had sheered off all the bolt one half was on the one part the other part of the bolt were broke off where it connected to the tyranny. He said you can't replace this with out trying to back our the bolts but there metric bolts and would be hard to find. And I would just be better off with a new driveshaft.

Service power steering message comes up on drivers info system and steering gets very hard. Last time it happened I was pulling into a parking space, the steering got very tight and the warning chime went off. I had to hit the brakes or risk hitting a parked car. I took the car to my mechanic who scanned the system and reset it. 2 days later it did the same thing again as I was going around a corner at about 20 mph. I am taking the car to the dealer but when I do take the car in, I'm told that I need to trade it.

While trying to park, the steering wheel becomes stiff. I took it to the dealer to correct problem and it cost me $2,558.35 to replace steering pump and to get a wheel alignment. A week later I had to take the car back to the dealer for noises after applying the brakes and they had to replace both control arms and stabilizer links to correct problem. That job cost me $1,362.93. In April 2013, my front passenger door handle didn't open from the outside. The dealer had to replace the inside door handle housing split, trim pad and handle housing. This job cost me $1,376.99. Not sure why I'm having all of these problems when I get all the required maintenance and all jobs are done at a GM Cadillac dealership.

I have a 2008 Cadillac Cts. I have a vibration or shimmy in my steering wheel at about 65 mph, numerous attempts have been made to balance tires. Two new tires were installed and roadforce balanced. Still not resolved. I have seen quite a few complaints about this same problem.

- Ovilla, TX, USA

Purchased 2008 Cts upon driving car home I noticed a vibration. Took back to dealer next day. Had to wait 3 weeks to get service on vehicle and found out at that time there is a service bulletin on this car and the dealer is not to try to fix car. Went to GM and they agreed to change tires but this did not fix the problem, the vibration continued. Trying to come to some sort of agreement with GM and after 9 months, nothing. Took car back to dealer for tire rotation and requested "road force balance" and the problem got worse. The vibration starts at 40mph and the steering wheel is shaking. The problem is either with the wheels or the tires.

- Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Vibration in car above 62 miles per hour. Steering wheel shakes in your hands. Taken to dealer twice they have rotated and balanced tires twice no improvement.
