I apologize that you have had concerns with your vehicle. Do you currently have a case number and if so, what is the case number? Thank you,
Mariah GM Customer Service
Thank you for getting back to me. I just wanted to make sure that you were currently working with an agent. I did check the case notes and it looks like the agent will contact you tomorrow with an update. Thank you,
Mariah GM Customer Service
Where was this posted? I'm wonder if GM has other posting that I should be aware of. I purchased the 2006 CTS as a dream car, which is turning out to be a nightmare. So many problems, including the radiator and transmission (kind of like yours).

What concerns do you have with your vehicle? How long have the concerns been present? Thank you,

The main concern: the transmission! Several months ago I ended up with a coolant system problem, which caused the radiator to blow and caused fluid to get into the transmission. Ended up getting a new radiator and the transmission was drained several times to get that "gunk" (brownish thick fluid) out. Now, the car isn't operating smoothly and the power isn't there as it was before all this happened.
At times, the car will jerk/surge, too. Merging onto the the freeway is scary because the car doesn't excellerate properly (that quick takeoff is no longer there.)
A noise is coming from the steering column; took it to the repair shop -- problem couldn't be detected and no codes showed up. The noise is getting louder.
The car doesn't start at times; took it to the repair shop -- problem not detected and no codes showed up. Not the starter, battery or alternator.
This week the CD player stopped working while in operation.
Like I mentioned, the CTS is my dream car; I wanted one since 2003!
Do you currently have a case number? If so, what is the case number? If you don't have a case I would like an agent to look at your situation further. In order to do that I will need you to e-mail me you’re VIN, current mileage, contact information, dealership and best time to contact you. Thank you,

I do not see any open recalls for your VIN. I would recommend taking your vehicle in to the dealer to have it diagnosed. Please keep me updated on your progress.

The day I got my car back I noticed it was still doing the exact same thing, same symptoms and all. I called the repair facility and and spoke to the assistant service manager. I told him that the car drives like I never brought it in. Also it was burning gas like crazy. The service manager scheduled a "ride along" with a mechanic. The caliper was replaced yet the breaking still sounds like crap. The car is still bucking at 45 mph. The mechanic recommended that I bring the car in for a transmission flush $225 and a pad and rotor resurfacing $225.
A week later the transmission is gone. Car revs but will not move. I called the repair facility and spoke to the service manager. He asked me to check the transmission fluid. I asked him if any of the trouble indication could have been diagnosed as a transmission problem. Of course he said No way. I feel as though my car was sabotaged. Should I take it back to them or to another repair facility?
Also the diagnosis doesn't seem quite right, since the cooler line to the radiator carries transmission fluid, not engine coolant. The coolant tank and ATF tank in the radiator are two separate compartments. You shouldn't be losing coolant if the trans cooler line pulls out---you should be losing trans fluid. Now sometimes the two tanks can contaminate each other, which is a real mess, and would require complete flushing of the transmission, including torque converter, so that could add some labor---but still, unless there's more to be done on the car, their estimate sounds like you're actually pay 1/2 of a bill that was inflated to 2X.
Not nice.
The other day while I was parking, When I the put the car in reverse there was no response, then also no response in drive. The engine would rev and the car temperature was normal.
I then noticed the was a huge transmission fluid leak, it went from under my hood to under the car. Its weird because the car was running fine, not slipping gears or anything, then all of a sudden the transmission stopped completely. I'm guessing maybe the houseing, a plug or something came loose or completely ruptured.
I was just wondering if anyone can help me out with the issue, I'm going to take it to a mechanic soon but just dont wan't to get ripped off and maybe its a simple fix i could do.
If the radiator needed replacing, that gets pricey---about $550 + 3.0 hours labor.

When accelerating under load, the transmission makes a rattling noise like it is slipping as it changes gears.
The first time it happened was about 6 months after my first transmission fluid change. The dealer replaced my Torque Converter and the issue went away... until 6 months later. They found the same symptoms as the first time, but decided to not replace the torque converted and gave me a full new transmission as they couldn't find out why it was occurring.
Now it is 6 months later and it started to the same thing this past Sunday.
For some reason i think it might be the wrong fluid they used, or the fluid pressure setting is too low (I do mainly city driving, not so much highway driving). The car only has 66,000kms on it.
