ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

while driving the car at about 15 to 20 miles an hour the car came to a complete stop. there was a total shut down of the electrical system. the emergency blinkers could not be engaged, the car could not be shifted. the car was towed into the shop, the dealer advised me the engine failed and a new engine was put into the car by the dealer. we have owned the car for two months.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

i bought this car new on 1/16/14. on 2/19/14 the engine light came on and the engine lost power. i took it to the dealer and they replaced a sensor assembly. on 3/18/14 the same thing happened and the car lost power. the mileage was about 1,500.. now i am being told that there is a problem that the engineers at gm are looking into but no fix is in sight.. the first two times i lost power i was in town but if this happened on the highway it could be a real problem. i feel gm has a major problem and they do not want to be honest. i am being told nothing other then they are working on the problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

the "check engine" indicator came on, soon thereafter, "stabilitrak" and "engine power is reduced" indicators came on. ten minutes later, the car shut down in the middle of the highway. after 10-15 minutes, the car started up again with the "check engine" light still on. car was repaired at a cadillac dealership. service representative advised that it was necessary to solder some wires/terminals behind the right rear wheel well fender liner. a service bulletin (pie0291b) identified this problem. this same exact problem arose in mid-february. the remedy at that time was to replace the throttle body. hopefully, this new remedy will work now that there is a service bulletin to assist with the diagnosis.

ENGINE

there has been 2 occasions my brand new car has stalled and lost power. both times the car has sat for over an hour. when i get into vehicle it starts up and i take off. within a minute the vehicle is stalling and fails to accelerate. each time i have taken it into cadillac and they can't find a problem because it did not register in the computer system nor does a test drive discover problem. the real concern is if i'm crossing an intersection and the vehicle stalls and i'm in an accident. i don't want to be a statistic waiting for gm to find this problem.

STEERING

vehicle wanders at highway speeds on level roads, can't keep it in a straight line. dealer refuses to rectify, says that it is normal, since their other models are the same. it is a danderous situation since you are afraid to blink and may end up in another lane of traffic. just using it for city traffic now. current odometer reading 1,600 km since new in february 2014. how safe is the electric steering?

WHEELS

i have 2014 ats cadillac 4.0 t ( with run flat tires)..when it rains while i'm driving at speed over 35 mph or higher my vehicle will hydroplane but will jump right back because of the stabilitrak stability control system. this was the most terrifying thing to experience. i had to pul over and get myself together. i called my husband to inform him of the issue, which he later experienced the same freighting ordeal. no matter what driving mode the car performs worse in the rain. i like in michigan and if my car acts like in the rain i'm terriffied and will not drive my car in the snow too. i refuse to drive in the rain....i am truly scared for my life.
