Look for a button that allows you to slide the physical key out of the fob. Step 2: Turn the vehicle key to unlock the car door without releasing it. Hold the key for 30 seconds in this position. This will signal to your car's system that you have the right key, and will enable you to bypass your car's alarm system.

The front of my CTS Cadillac is so low that it its difficult to park headed into a normal height curb. Can the front end be raised using spacers under the front springs?

Try a little taller tire instead. Blocking the suspension certainly isn't going to improve the way it goes down the road, and it may cause early failure of suspension components, uneven tire wear, poor handling.. long list.

I had the same problem with my CTS. I took it to my car guy andhe could not get any codes, so he took it to a tranny guy and he had the same problem. I finally took it to the dealer,, and the Power Control Module was bad. It is under a recall for ten years 80,000 miles
