Cadillac Ats is sold with a faulty driver console. The console is known as the Cadillac user experience (cue).  faulty-console is a serious safety issue for the following reasons: 1. Driver distractions: loss of navigation and unexpected changes in radio and air-conditioning are constant distractions. These distractions take the driver's attention away from the roadway. They also force driver's to make unexpected stops on highways and roadways.   2. Customer profile: Cadillac Ats customers are mostly seniors and mature individuals. Constant distractions have amplified impact. Considering the above major factors, the faulty console is a safety issue due to constant distractions. We paid $1,065. 30 to replace the faulty cue screen for something that must be recalled. There are many references made to faulty cue consoles on the internet and its time for NHTSA to take a step forward and call these faulty consoles and constant distractions a safety issue.  .
