  • CTS owners should beware of falling stars. Safety stars, that is. If you bought a 2014 CTS, one of the deciding factors might have been the car's 5-star safety rating in three critical categories: frontal crash driver, frontal crash passenger, and rollover. However, GM started sending out letters to owners saying "Our bad, the window sticker was totally wrong. Here's a coupon for some free OnStar. We cool?"

  • Cadillac is pretty sure your car's brakes work. Of course, the Titanic captain was pretty sure there weren't any icebergs in the way (and we all know how that went down).

  • Have you heard of a Monroney sticker? I can guarantee you've seen one --- it's the sticker required by law to be on all new cars sold in the US with important information like price, fuel economy and safety ratings. You just assume those things are accurate, but what happens when they're not?

  • GM is recalling 19,225 Cadillac CTS vehicles from the 2013-14 model years because the wipers could stop working. I believe it was Socrates who said "a wiper that does not wipe is not a wiper at all." Or it could have been my Uncle Sal. Either way ... the failure will only happen after a very specific situation -- when the wipers are blocked by snow or ice while the vehicle is jump started. Given how awful last winter was I suppose that's actually pretty likely.

Have a complaint about your vehicle?

The best way to find out what's wrong with a vehicle is from the people who drive them. Not only do owner complaints help us rank vehicles by reliability, but they're often used to spark class-action lawsuits and warranty extensions. Plus, they're a great way to vent.
