| 29000 mi | Output shaft from the transmission into the transfer case splines were completely sheared off. Car could not move. We were on a long road trip when it happened. Not too happy about it, but Cadillac was good about fixing and getting back. There was a residual noise from the transfer case repair, apparently an alignment problem in the driveshaft. It was repaired in New London, CT at Cadillac dealer - car appears to be OK. |
