My car is in excellent condition, with 65K miles and no error codes. There is about a half inch rotation dead spot in my steering. It seems what ever direction the steering is deflected to, changing that "set" there is about a half inch of non responsive movement in the steering wheel before...

My 06 -V has developed a "dead spot" in the steering when driving straight ahead. It is hard to describe, but when driving and transitioning from right to left or vice verse there seems to be a "detent" of sorts transitioning centerline. This occurs just driving normally straight on the highway...

Has anyone been able to determine whether our cars should be included in this recall?? A total of 10,005 Cadillac CTS-Vs from the model years 2004 through 2007 and STS-Vs manufactured from 2005 to 2007 also were recalled because of potential overheating in their fuel pump modules, which the...

Why haven't this site's "production numbers" been updated to include 2009? Anyone know?

I just went on the pirelli tire site and found they do not list a run flat tire for our car! Has anyone found an alternative, either by size or make? TIA Rusty 06-V

I would like to attach a remote radar detector to my XLR. Has anyone on the net found an acceptable way to bring a wire into the cabin from a device installed the front grill area? Any experience will help me. Thanks, Rusty

When parking my car in unsecured lots at night, ie. movie theator, etc. I feel insecure leaving my car. Although our cars have a comprehensive theft deterent system, there are, available to thieves, devices that will spoof our remote access fobs and leave our cars vulnerable to theft. A further...

Has anyone looked into the effect of the (now blessed by the supreme court) fuel, "E85" ? Will it damage our engines? I have a V. Rusty

My 06 V has developed a very loud "clunk" seemingly from the rear suspension. it occurs when I "flex" the suspension going over a curbing at an oblique angle, make a sharp turn at low speed. By my imagination, it coincides with when I would imagine the rear sway bar is flexed, or raised, both...

There is a web site which sells accessories for the cadillac collective. I purchased a pair of sun glasses with the "V" in colors on one of the ear pieces. "NEAT" I thought and laid down a cool 150 for a pair. Plus shipping, of course. The first time I used them inside my XLR, some way down the...

I am contemplating the purchase from D3, a header set and air intake setup, to complement my Corsa exhaust. They have advised their tune box will not suffice for the job. I will need a tuner to remap the engine control in my XLR V. I live 75 miles North of NYC. Can anyone recommend such a...

I have an 06 V with a corsa exhaust, otherwise stock. Can anyone with experience with either the Volant or D3 intake systems, tell me: 1 The amount of increased intake noise resultant without the silencers in the stock sysytem and 2: whether the additional hp is recognizable?? Thanks. Rusty 06 V

I have had this car since 12K miles. It now has 47K miles, showing. Since I have had it, I can hear a rear differential whine during a quite narrow speed band. Decellerating from about 65 mph to about 60 mph, there is a distinct whine eminating from the differential. Abve 65 mph and below 60...

Has anyone disconnected their ONSTAR? Any suggestions to thwart big bro? Thanks, Rusty 06 V

Has anyone found a brake pad for the V that cuts down on the dust and is still reasonably good stopping power? And if so, where to purchase? Much obliged. Rustu 06 V

Does anyone know the lifetime expectancy of the sump drain plug? This plug does not have a traditional soft metal/fibre washer. Instead, it has an integral neoprene insert, which is raised above the surface of the plug surface. Thanks, Rusty '06 V

The weight listed in the specification for my 06 V is 3840 lbs. Does anyone know whether that weight connotes "dry weight" or weight with fluids? thanks Rusty

Has anyone had any work done to "tighten up" the V's transmission? I love the car, but the tranny seems only one step away from the old Dynaslush buick. It is neat to be able to control the shift points with the selector, but downshifts especially are slow and unpredictable. Upshifts somewhat...

Has anyone come across an XLR (V) modified by Mallett Cars in NC with an manual 6 speed Trans??? This is an option I would aggressively pursue, could it be done to "factory" qualiy. Warrantee, non withstanding. Rusty

Above the push to on/off and volume control knob, there is a push button, to bring up a panel permitting the setting of some basic parameters, like display intensity etc. While mine has been working intermittently in the past, now it seems to be completely inert. I can hear the switch click, but...
