What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 cadillac cts. While driving approximately 15 MPH, the wheels locked causing the vehicle to spin completely around and strike a curb on the rear driver side. None of the air bags deployed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the rear driver side wheel was bent inwards. They further stated that the suspension system and wheels needed to be replaced at the cost of $3,000.
The car is running like it is stuck in some kind of safety mode. It does not want to accelerate unless it starts accelerating in third gear. It does not come out of 3rd gear at all. The engine light and airbag lights are lit up on the dash. There is a couple of recalls listed for the same exact year make and model but it says that this VIN number is not under recall. I think that this vehicle needs to be inspected to see if it actually does need to be listed under those recalls.
