I'm really upset my car when I got it had 92,000 miles first week I got it start to shutter then stall while at stop and shut off or driving on the freeway then just stall and loose pier and shut off very unsafe and I feel scared to drive this car I took it to so many shop and they all can't find the issue on why it stalling and shutting off told Cadillac dealer they said it needed update guess what did update and guess what still happing I've done all required maintence change spark plugs keep up on oil. Change and etc still stalling while driving and at complete stop it not safe car to drive it just stalls and turn off took it to Cadillac still nothing now it back in shop for the 14 time with Cadillac gilbert az to see if they can find the issue and the fix I think this is gm Cadillac issue with the computer that causing my car go into some type safe mode and make the car stall and shutter then turn off but when it on highway it drives fine then stalls . I'm for sure this is mechanical issue that has to do with something Cadillac did and they need be responsible with this issue everyone tells me go dealer because the check engine like codes they don't recognize only Cadillac well Cadillac makes no since I think my computer system is making the car go into some type safe mode and shut off I've seen many complaints about this and it crazy and unsafe I've reported this to highway safety board and better business bureau and other places this doesn't make since you guys need provide solution for this issue .
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.
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.
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.
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.
My vehicle is a 6-speed manual. . . Twice now in the last month it has stalled at a complete stop even the clutch is fully depressed.
Vehicle quietly stalls and has happened numerous times since purchasing the vehicle less than a month ago. Brought it to the dealer but they basically just say it is designed to stall in certain instances which I believe is just nonsense and unsafe. I have read online that this is happening to other Ats owners so I know that this is a serious and unsafe issue with the 6spd Ats.
I have a 2013 Ats 6 speed . A couple weeks after I got it will stall when slowing down to make a complete stop. It stopped for about a month then it continued again. It would happen as often as twice a week to a couple times a month. My car now has over 3k miles and it still happens. I noticed I has not been as frequent as previous months but it still happens once in a while.
Car idles badly may come close to stalling at times. It shutters at warm up in cold weather. What is sad is gm well aware and will not fix it. I am stuck with it according to dealers I have visited.
When coasting to a stop light, or a stop sign, the car will occasionally stall for no reason. I drive a stick shift, and will move the shifter into neutral as I am coming to a stop, and on multiple occasions, the car has just stalled out and I lose all power steering and electronic brake assistance, which makes stopping the car more difficult. This issue has also occurred a few times when actively driving at higher speeds. I will get a message on my dic saying that my power steering needs to be serviced, and shortly after the car stalls.
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.
2013 Cadillac Ats 6mt stalls when decelerating with an ensuing loss of power steering. Cadillac has come up with a software fix for this issue. Software written to protect the flywheel was modified to eliminate this problem.
The 6-speed manual Ats has an issue with stalling, usually when coasting to a stop, and less frequently on initial acceleration. It is not due to poor release practice with the clutch. The car will die unexpectedly when coasting, which kills the electric power steering, which makes for an unsafe situation. This happens infrequently, and I don't really know what combination of things leads to the stall. I have changed the way I drive the car in order to minimize coasting or using the transmission for deceleration. This helps, but there are still times when I get surprised at an intersection by the car being dead when I'm ready to accelerate. It is a very quiet car, especially at idle, so if I'm watching traffic and not the dash, it can die and I don't know it until I hit the gas again.
