The vehicle shakes while idling,happens all the time. The dealer ship verified that there is engine vibration due to defect in engine motor mounts. Its very scary feeling. Feels like the engine will shut off.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/18/2020

54,189 miles on car currently. Since June of 2019 my car/engine will completely shut off at a red light, or a coming to a stop sign (basically completely stopped or coming to a stop). Its even shut off while in reverse. When this happens, the gear is still in drive. So I then have to put the car in park,press the brake and start it again. It sputters to start again, but it starts. Its getting more frequent, with it stopping up to 3 times at one stop light, and then having to restart it again. There are no codes on the dash. Ive brought my car into crest Cadillac multiple times to try and diagnose this issue. They cannot find the root cause, and it still happening most recently today! there is a new battery, alternator testing in good condition. They have tested the battery cables/lines. This is incredibly frustrating. My car has stopped on me when trying to accelerate and turn into a lane and I was almost hit bc my engine completely shut off. I also called gm and was told without a diagnosis they cant help. Ive spent so much money on diagnostic tests with no answers. I need help please.

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2020

Rear left/rear right axle seals leaking reported to me on 06/01/2020 while 2014 Ats was in for service for tires and coolant leak mileage 71,538. I was advised it's a very slow drip and it doesn't need to be taken care of right away but to keep an eye on it vebally over the phone. I looked back on my service records and the leak was detected on 03/20/2020 by the dealer but r. 0 closure date is noted as 03/18/2020 I was not made aware of a critical repair needed on the drive axle (rear differential leak) odometer on 03/18/2020 59,750. The seals should not be breaking at this mileage. . . This should be covered under warranty. It's a massive issue with the Cadillac Ats. This is going to cost around $1500. 00 to fix now. . . Which is obsurd. This is a safety hazard to drive the car like this as per many online reports that I've read online.

13 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2017

While driving 70 mph on an interstate; drove into rough median going at a downhill angle. Hit two culverts (made of steel and concrete), one of which sent the car airborne. The car landed into oncoming interstate traffic and did a 180� turn before coming to a rest. The strut came up through the hood of the car, and the front end of the car was torn up very badly, as was the rear bumper. The front two tires were pointing in different directions. The car was later declared a total loss. The airbags did not deploy, nor did the onstar service respond (paid monthly fees for over 4 years).

14 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2016

2014 Cadillac Ats that has a constant shudder or viberation at all speeds. I took it to everette GMC in hickory, about 5 or 6 months ago. They acknowledged the problem but are unable to fix. I balanced and rotated tires to no avail. Very frustrating. I understand other GMC owners have this same problem.

15 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2015

I discovered while my car was parked in the garage that the right front tire had a protruding sidewall next to the rim, with about a 4-inch split and exposed steel belt. On the same day I had the tire replaced for $293. 61. Within the next week I discovered that all of the other three tires began showing protruding sidewalls. Note that the electronic inflation history shows no significant deviation from normal pressures. There were no crashes involving the vehicle. All 4 tires were the originals from the gm factory. Neither Cadillac, where the first tire was replaced, nor michelin, the manufacturer, offer any warranty or credit toward replacement of any of the four tires. These tires appear to be defective with the potential safety issue for sudden blowout. There does not appear to be any external cause for this defect to occur at only 10,000 miles. The michelin model # is 225/40r18. My local Cadillac service manager has stated that this has been reported to gm, and they will not assume any responsibility.

16 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2014

I called the dealership (katherine cole who sold us the run flat tires), tweeted gm. No one at this point has been the least bit interested in what I had I to say. After my crash, on August 11, 2014, I have found several other Ats owners that experience the same exact issue. . My daughter and I suffered terrible injuries, crash and totaled my car. I also am finding that there maybe a tire issue because of fast wear after only 7,000 miles. What, is gm or the tire manufacture or these safety org. Waiting for someone to die? I sent in a complaint in about my 2014 Cadillac Ats causing me to have a near fatal car accident. Gm is claiming that the tires were worn and speed caused the accident, which is false. My car only had 7500 miles ( car was purchased with only 256 miles) and the tires were not worn! the car was just in for service for it’s premium care lease maintenance, the service advisor would have mentioned that at time! the speed was caused from the accident. My daughters abdomen was injured from the seat belt too! between gm and michelin tires I am getting no where, they are pointing the finger to each other when I voted for you I thought you would fight for michiganders! how would you feel if I were your family member. I have been four surgeries and at least two more, please rethink your decision please help me.
