2006 CADILLAC CTS Suspension Problems

Driving out of a driveway with a slight slope, my traction engaged. It has done this 3-4 times in perfect driving weather and I had not swerved or experienced any issue prior to the light illuminated "TRACTION ENGAGED". It is pretty noisy under my car as well and the ride is not smooth and rather bumpy. It has engaged just backing up in a parking lot.

Well I am uncertain but we have two 2006 Cadillac cts and both have had multiple transmissions replaced. Multiple differential problems and air bag and wireing problems

MY DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP , EVEN AFTER THE RECALL FOR THE PINION SEAL WAS COMPLETED. MY VEHICLE LOST CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY.

DIFFERENTIAL AND BUSHINGS, REAR BUSHINGS DISINTEGRATED APPARENTLY HAPPENS TO CADILLACS OF ALL YEAR GROUPS. LOTS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN ADDRESSED?

THE REAR END AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WENT OUT WHEN SHE WAS DRIVER. *TR

MY CAR STARTED MAKING "CLUNKING" SOUNDS EVERY TIME PLACED IT IN DRIVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE, I CAME UP WITH A RECALL GM WAS DOING ON MY CAR. ACCORDING TO GM, THERE WAS A BAD REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL, AND THAT OIL MAY LEAK OUT. WELL THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. NOT ONLY DID THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAK OUT BUT THE BUSHING BROKE AS WILL. THE DEALERSHIP COVERED THE FLUID LEAK REPAIR (RECALL)...BUT SAID THE BUSING BROKE BECAUSE OF WERE AND TEAR...NOT BECAUSE OF THE OIL LEAK. THEY QUOTED ME OVER $500 TO REPAIR WHEN THIS WOULDN'T OF HAPPENED HAD THE SEAL BEEN GOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE! *TR
