Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: So ill start off with about complaining to the dealer about my rear end making a moaning whinning sound. i went in more than once to tell them about how it keeps getting louder and that i know something is not correct. i am currently selling my car and want it perfect for anyone who buys it. the cadillac dealership keeps telling me that all of this is normal and they do nothing. so let me tell you a little bit about how it all starts. i was at a raceway road course practicing driving one of my race cars for a race that i have coming up. my girlfriend wanted to go around the track a few times to see how it felt so i took her for a little ride in the cadillac nothing more than driving up a windey road. we pack up our stuff and i leave with my girlfriend to meet my folks for dinner. i started driving up a freeway on ramp and hit a little bit of water as i was accelerating then get a little bit of wheel hop and boom! my car suddenly stops in front of a big rig that was on my tail the whole time and i barely have time to move to the side of the road without getting ran over. i trailer my car to the dealership and they tell me my car was abused! i knew about the rear ends and didn't want to deal with the car and all its problems and that is why i didn't want to risk dealing with it. i feel that this is a huge hazard that cadillac seems to just be ignoring. they need to do something before someone gets killed. i keep thinking about it and how it could have been a lot worse for me and my girlfriend. the dealership refused to fix this problem but at least we walked away! now i am scared for whomever i sell this car too. someone from this website needs to do a google on all of the problems we are having because i don't think people know about this website. thanks guys, michael lebard. *nm
