NHTSA currently has 10 investigation files overlapping the 2007 CTS-V, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

AT 17,000 MILES I HAD A SENSOR GO OUT ON MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE, THAT CONTROLS MY BRAKES. THAT COST ME $600.00. AT THE SAME TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED FRONT BRAKES. THAT ONLY COST ME $300.00 BECAUSE I HAD A COUPON AND TOLD THEM TO JUST REPLACE THE PADS AND DO NOT TURN THE ROTOR. AT 19,160 MILES THE LEFT WHEEL SENSOR WENT ALONG WITH ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL.
