2. 5 liter engine at stop engine shakes for no reason. As usual take to dealer and can't find issue without a code. Now at 2572 miles still shakes and dealer says that all Ats do this so live with it. I say that this Ats by gm. Needs to take these issues seriously as this will hurt the sales of a really cool car. Is there someone that can get the ceo of Cadillacs attention this is unacceptable to paid over 35k. When I have brand new kia that has a 4 cycl engine with no issues. Come on gm. Lets get this issue resolved I have already file a complaint to gm. But no response per usual. No wonder we by non american cars. I have waited 13 years to get a new car and I thought I give the Ats a try. What ashame that such a cool car that this engine ruins the great feeling to own a american car. Can someone please help us. O by the way the dealer is hill Cadillac in newtown. Edgemont PA. Any other Ats customers have same issues. I see on Cadillac forum there seems to be a lot of frustration about lack of a fix.
Rough idle when in drive and stopped at light (always), I did bring it in for service for the rough idle and dealership stated nothing showed up on computer so they were unable to correct problem.
The brake and gas pedal are so close together that when braking in heavy traffic it is possible to depress the gas pedal while braking resulting in an engine surge condition. This only happens in bumper to bumper traffic or when stopping at a traffic light.
