ENGINE
WHILE ABOUT TO TURN LEFT, AFTER PULLING OUT THE CAR ENGINE STALLED, AND SHUT DOWN LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY WHILE BEING APPROACHED BY ONCOMING CARS. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED UP AGAIN AFTERWARDS. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DECELERATING THE CAR FROM 70 MPH TO A COMPLETE STOP. JUST PRIOR TO MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL, AND AGAIN TURNED OFF. THIS TIME JUST AFTER MAKING A STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CADILLAC DEALER. THEY ARE CURRENTLY CHECKING INTO THE ISSUE AND ALLEGE THIS IS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HOPE THEY FIND THE PROBLEM. HISTORICALLY THE DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED THE ECM. THE CAR HAS RECEIVED ALL OF ITS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP NAMED WILLIAMSON CADILLAC IN SOUTH, FLORIDA. THE CAR HAS HAD ROUGH IDLE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED, AND I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL, AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT EACH TIME THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. MOREOVER, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE LIQUID MOTOR MOUNTS, AND THAT THE SHAKING IS AS A RESULT OF THE VIBRATION THAT OCCURS JUST AFTER STARTING THE CAR, BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. THE ROUGH IDLE OCCURS ALL THE TIME, AND NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED TO COMPLETE ENGINE STALLING WHILE TURNING OR DECELERATION. THE CAR IN QUESTION HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ALSO IT ALSO JERKED AFTER IT WAS PLACED INTO GEAR DURING THE MOST RECENT SITUATION / COMPLAINT. *TR

ENGINE
I OWN A 2013 CADILLAC ATS 2.0T WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION (6MT). MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. LAST TIME WAS AT ABOUT 30MPH WHILE I WAS COMING UP TO A LIGHT AND IT IS SCARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE AROUND YOU START BEEPING AND YELLING. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE TURNED OFF THEN ON AGAIN, SO IT ISN'T A QUICK THING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I WENT ONLINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE VIDEOS AND COMPLAINTS OF THE VERY ISSUE. GM KNOWS THIS IS HAPPENING AND THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS JUST AS BAD AS THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE, AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT (I ALMOST DID A FEW TIMES). I HAVE A CASE OPEN WITH GM AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE YEAR THAT I'VE HAD IT. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON, STABILITRAK, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATE MY DASHBOARD. IT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES. EACH TIME THE DEALER HAS FOUND BASICALLY NOTHING WRONG, JUST REPLACED A SPARK PLUG EACH TIME, CHANGED THE OIL, AND CLEARED THE CODES. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE BECAUSE A LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND MY CAR WAS STALLED. PRIOR TO IT STALLING IT VIOLENTLY SHAKES, WHICH IS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ROUGH THAN THE CONSTANT SHAKING IT ALWAYS DOES. ALSO RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE STARTING. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE RELATED AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE DEALER EXTENDED MY WARRANTY TO ALMOST 90,000 MILES BUT I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT IT HAS AND ALL THE NEW PROBLEMS THAT KEEP COMING UP. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM), POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC ATS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A THREE TO FOUR SECOND LAG. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 325 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,100.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEED, HOWEVER THERE WERE NO CARS OR OBSTRUCTIONS AHEAD OF MY CAR. THE BRAKES WERE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED, THE COLLISION WARNING APPEARED ON THE HUD, AND THE CAR RAPIDLY DECELERATED. HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE BEHIND ME, THERE WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS COLLISION. I HAD JUST PASSED A SEMI-TRUCK AND THOUGHT MAYBE A REFLECTION FROM THE TRUCK MAY HAVE ACTIVATED THE SYSTEM, BUT I HAD COMPLETED THE PASSING MANEUVER BEFORE THE CAR BRAKING ACTIVATED. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 4/4 BUT THEY REPORTED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SYSTEM. THIS SEEMS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE SITTING IN NEUTRAL, WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS RUNNING. THE ENGINE RUNS SO QUIETLY THAT FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TELL THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF IF THE A/C HAD NOT STOPPED BLOWING. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND AN ALERT CAME ON THE DASH SCREEN STATING: SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF A MILE FROM MY HOME COMING DOWNHILL ON A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD STREET SO I CAREFULLY DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE WHILE I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP. HE TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING IS CONTROLLED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAY HAVE GLITCHED WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND NOT BEEN ACTIVATED. HE SAID I COULD RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER 30 SECONDS AND THE POWER STEERING SHOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN. HE TOLD ME IF THERE IS AN ISSUE I CAN HAVE GM TOW THE VEHICLE IN, OR IF THE POWER STEERING BEGINS TO FUNCTION AGAIN I CAN DRIVE IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED. ONCE I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I WILL BE HAVING CADILLAC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE THIS AFTERNOON. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON FEBRUARY 22ND AND 27TH 2014, WHILE TRAVELING AT 75MPH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SLAMMED THE BRAKES ON THEN RELEASED. I THOUGHT THE SYSTEM HAD MISS-READ THE SHADOW OF AN OVERPASS AS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY THING IN SIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES LOCKED, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES PRESENT. ROADS WERE DRY. IT WAS REPORTED TO CADILLAC VIA THEIR 800 NUMBER AND THEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 MARCH 2014,FOR ANALYSIS. THE DEALER IMPLEMENTED AN UPDATE TO THE ACTIVE SAFETY CONTROL MODULE. CADILLAC STATED THEY WOULD SEND AN E-MAIL TO MY DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT DEALER STATED THEY NEVER RECEIVED THE E-MAIL. NO FURTHER PROBLEM NOTED UNTIL 1 APRIL 2014, FOUR WEEKS LATER, DURING A TRIP THE SAME ACTION HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A MILE OF TRAVEL. BRAKES WERE ABRUPTLY APPLIED, RED SCREEN ON DASH WITH CRASH IMMANENT. AGAIN AT 70MPH AND NO BRIDGES OR OTHER VEHICLES IN PATH. THE ROAD CONDITION WAS WET. THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME IF THE BREAKS SHOULD LOCK AT 70+ MPH AND NOT RELEASE AND I HAVE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE AUTOMATIC COLLISION AVOIDANCE BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR FOR OVER A MILE AND FULLY SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND FLASHED THE HEADS UP DISPLAY COLLISION WARNING. THIS SYSTEM FAILED MULTIPLE WAYS, ONE IT THOUGHT THERE WAS AN EMINENT COLLISION WHEN THERE WASN'T AND TWO IT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO APPLY BRAKES AT THOSE SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE MOST RECENT WAS AFTER A "FIX" BY THE DEALER. IF THERE HAD BEEN AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME WHEN THE CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES THAT COULDN'T STOP AS FAST AS MY CAR THERE WOULD'VE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WITH POSSIBLE FATALITY. *TR

HELLO, I HAVE A 2013 CADILLAC ATS 2.0T AWD AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING AND IDLING ROUGHLY. IT HAS STALLED ON MY THREE TIMES ALREADY SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN OCTOBER, AND I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR THAT SAME ISSUE. EACH TIME THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS TO TRY AND REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH NO ANSWERS FOR ME EXCEPT "MAKE SURE YOU BRING IT IN NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS". I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING 25MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED GETTING REAR-ENDED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN INTERMITTENT SHUDDER/JERKINESS IN THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS. TODAY, WHILE SLOWING AND TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I COASTED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED. I TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND THE CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I GOT HOME I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR ISSUES AND FOUND THIS THREAD ON THE CADILLAC FORUMS OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS: HTTP://WWW.CADILLACFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/CADILLAC-ATS-TECHNICAL-DISCUSSION-FORUM/391273-2013-6-SPEED-MANUAL-STALLING-AFFECTED.HTML I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND SPOKE WITH [XXX] IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HE SAID THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SHUDDER AT LOW SPEEDS AND HAVE A FIX FOR THAT PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY STALLING. I TOLD HIM THAT HE COULD READ ABOUT IT ON THE FORUM ABOVE. HE ASKED ME TO BRING MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOME TRANSMISSION PARTS REPLACED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT ONLY RESOLVE THE JERKING, BUT NOT THE STALLING, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN COASTING TO COME TO A STOP THE VEHICLE ENGINE WILL STALL. THE VEHICLE EITHER DOESN'T ATTEMPT TO IDLE AT ALL ONCE THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN DEPRESSED, OR IT SEEMS TO GET TO A LOWER RPM THAN NORMAL (<500RPM) AND THEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF, VERY ABRUPTLY. *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN WITH THE CAR IN EITHER NEUTRAL OR THE CLUTCH PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. THE STALL IS NOT ABRUPT BUT VERY SUBTLE. THE CAR DOES NOT JERK FORWARD BUT JUST DIES WITHOUT THE DRIVER KNOWING. CANNOT TELL THAT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED UNTIL I TRY TO RE-ENGAGE GEAR AND PRESS THE GAS. ALWAYS HAPPENS AT UNDER 5 MPH, RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR HAS COME TO A STOP OR IS ROLLING TO A STOP WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR CLUTCH PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING SPEED AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE I GOT TO THE SHOULDER THE CAR IDLED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND DRIVE ABOUT ANOTHER MILE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE WERE ABOUT 1 MILE FROM A GM CAR DEALERSHIP AND WE MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT IT STALLED 3 TIMES ON THE WAY (ONCE ON A 2 LANE BRIDGE). THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T WORK ON CADILLACS, SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP (THE CAR DIED AGAIN WHILE THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS TRYING TO LOAD IT). THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT OVER 200 MILES AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID A COMPUTER UPDATE AND ARE RETURNING THE CAR TO ME AND SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT CONFIDENT THE UPDATE WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT THROW ANY WARNING LIGHTS AND THE DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY CODES. WE WERE DOING 70 DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IF THERE HADN'T BEEN A PLACE TO PULL OVER, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER. THIS IS NOT A MANUAL TRANSMISSION (I'VE SEEN REPORTS OF MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS STALLING). THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
CRUISING DOWN A HILL PROBABLY IN NEUTRAL, CAR STALLED SILENTLY WITH NO BUCKING OR NOISE, JUST DIED. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER EASILY 15 ATTEMPTS AND APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED BUT WAS WITH FAMILY, AT NIGHT ON DARK TWISTY AND HILLY ROAD AND DID NOT FEEL CONFIDENT TO DRIVE IT. HAD IT TOWED ULTIMATELY FOR CADILLAC SERVICE. IN SHOP FOR MORE THAN A WEEK, TECH COULD NOT FIND OR DUPLICATE PROBLEM. HAPPENED AGAIN A WEEK OR SO LATER, IN NEUTRAL COMING TO A RED LIGHT, COMPLETE SILENT STALL, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE BACK TO CADILLAC SERVICE. AGAIN NO PROBLEM FOUND AFTER IN SHOP A FEW DAYS. ON MY WAY HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT A RED LIGHT BUT STARTED ON FIRST. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH FAMILY IN IT WHICH I HAVEN'T DONE RECENTLY. FIRST STALL PARTICULARLY WAS IN A DANGEROUS PLACE AND POLICE WOULD NOT LET CAR STAY ON ROAD AND WE PUSHED IT OFF THE MAJOR ROAD. UNEXPECTEDNESS AND PERHAPS INABILITY TO RESTART QUICKLY ARE FRIGHTENING AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I HAVE TWO ISSUES TO REPORT THAT MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN: 1) THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN DRIVING IN WET CONDITIONS (RAIN/SNOW) WHERE I WILL GET A 'POWER STEERING FAILURE' WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE POWER STEERING DOES ONE OF TWO THINGS. IT EITHER ALMOST LOCKS UP AND BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL, OR IT WILL STILL MOVE EASILY, BUT IT WON'T AUTO CENTER WHEN MAKING TURNS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR BUT THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED AND NOW THAT IT'S SNOWING IT'S HAPPENING MORE AND MORE CONSISTENTLY. 2) THERE HAVE BEEN 3 CASES WHERE I WAS DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AND THE CAR WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN. I LOSE ALL ABILITY TO STEER (SINCE IT'S ELECTRIC STEERING) AND BRAKE. THIS STALL IS DIFFERENT THEN A STALL ASSOCIATED MISUSE OF THE CLUTCH. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN PRESSED IN ALL THE WAY IN WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THE CAR DOESN'T SHUTTER LIKE A CLUTCH STALL, JUST TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN QUIETLY. LUCKILY THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE CARS AROUND ME IT WILL BE DIFFICULTY TO AVOID ONE. *TR

SINCE BUYING THIS CADILLAC ATS 2013, 2.0T RWD MANUAL, VEHICLE NEW, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE STALLING OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLING IN NEUTRAL (AT STOPLIGHTS, IN TRAFFIC). THE STALLING HAPPENS IN BOTH WARM AND COLD CONDITIONS. THE STALLING IS NOT LIKE NORMAL MANUAL TRANSMISSION STALLING WHERE THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD. THE STALLING IS SILENT. YOU DO NOT NOTICE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED UNTIL YOU PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR AND ATTEMPT TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT THE ISSUE (LINDSAY CADILLAC OF ALEXANDRIA). THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. APPROXIMATE SERVICE DATE WAS 09/26/2013. *TR
