A few weeks after my latest oil change I was driving on the freeway in semi crowded conditions when the car started bucking. The car slowed and I had to avoid traffic and almost was hit as the car would not respond, was scared to death. I thought it was a transmission issue but when I called the mechanic he knew what it was right away, he said check your oil and I did and it was near empty. No oil in my garage, no oil in my work parking spot, no visable leaks, but all the oil gone. It just happened for a second time and when I looked for complaints on the car it is the same issue time and time again. How is Cadillac not held responsible to the driving public for this safety issue. How many must die before it is recalled?.
