Cadillac - Unintended Acceleration
2008 CTS - Complaint
Review by hottomale on 2012-12-11
Rating: 
I have a 2008 Cadillac CTS. I purchased it as a "Certified" that's a joke, Cadillac. I experienced unintended acceleration in a Walmart Parking Lot with people crossing in front and back. Thank God my foot was on the brake.
Courtesy Chevrolet, Salisbury, Md said they found the problem and fixed it. 300 miles later, I am sitting behind a car in the bank drive thru, foot lightly on the brake, and my engine starts roaring, back wheels screaming & smoking. Turned the engine off. had dealer come get it and it's been reported to Cadillac, to no avail, National Safety Bureau, Better Business Bureau, Facebook and anywhere else I can warn drivers of GM Vehicles.
I discovered that it's a widespread problem that is being covered up by GM, instead of recalling and fixing the problem with "ENHANCED SMART PEDAL TECHNOLOGY". It is in the software messaging from the brake to the throttle to GO instead of STOP. They know it's happening and they know the fix. I have the articles to prove what I am saying.

Dump it before you get into a serious accident and buy a Toyota. If you can afford it step up to a Lexus and be really happy.

You really need to make a complaint to the NTSB.

That would scare the poopy-doo out of me. Report it immediately to the NTSB. If you wanted to go the lawyer route, see if they can get you a refund - this is a very, very dangerous vehicle.
