general problems of the 2014 Cadillac CTS

Burning smell, traction control, rear axle service along with suspension lights all came on the odometer. Shakes at low idle and wont stay running. Happened this weekend after pulling into the driveway after driving. We scanned code for cylinder 4 misfire. On scanner we had multiple other cylinder misfires but cylinder 4 is a dead misfire. We removed spark plug and found wore. We initially thought to start with replacing spark plugs and cylinder 4 coil. We consulted with customer and agreed to replace all spark plugs and cylinder 4 coil. After replacing we found no change in cylinder 4 misfire. We removed and re installed original coil and re tested. We performed a compression test on cylinder 4 and have 0 psi. We thought possible carboned valve stuck open due to direct injection system. We performed a gdi carbon clean but still no change. We installed a borescope into cylinder to inspect and found what looks like a broken piston or part of a valv we scanned code for cylinder 4 misfire.

Fault is internal engine, would need to tear down and re build or replace engine assembly. My safety was at risk driving 80mph on the highway perhaps engine could have seized or caused problems I’m not able to deal with along with having my infant and toddler in the car.

On 8/24/2021 approx 9:45am I returned home from the market as I was parking my vehicle (backing into a parking space) ishift my vehicle control to the rear position and it lock up it was stuck and would not release I was shocked and upset because the front of my vehicle was still in the way of passing vehicle so I tuned my front wheels in as much as I could but that was all I could do I had to keep my foot on the breaks so that my vehicle would not roll back and slam into the truck behind me , I call the dealership fc kerbeck 100 route 73 north palmyra n. J I told them what happened and that I was upset and did not know what to do I still had my foot on the breaks because I did'nt know if it was safe to turn off my vehicle or what after I was disconnected I called back and I was informed on how to safley shut down my vehicle . My vehicle had to be towed to the dealership I found a recall on the issue from general motors June 2014 saying that the driver may not be able to shift the transmission in and out of gear due to the shift cable not begin secured and that it could slip out of the brackets and the driver will not be able to stop the vehicle from rolling resulting in a ccident when I mention this to the dealership they claim that they never had any recalls on thid saftey issue I purchase my vehicle in 2017 so they were well aware that this could be a saftey issue some where down the line but they failed to make sure that the consumer was aware of this issue that they could have better control if something like this should happen I was so up set and shock that this had happen my gears were lock down I could not at that time move my vehicle. My is this information not made available to the consumer when they buy these cars then a few years later when it does ealership blows you off and act as if you are crazy this is a saftey issue that could cause your life.
