| Automatic Transmission problems | |
| Driveshaft problems |
The vehicle hesitates and then clunks into gear when accelerating from a full stop. I brought the vehicle to the dealership for repair but they were unable to fix the problem. They informed me that Cadillac was aware of this problem as it seems to be inherent, but as of yet they do not have a solution and I should call them back in about one month for a progress update. I hope this is true.
Was traveling at approximately 35-40mph the front driveshaft tore though the oil pan/transmission & electrical system. Had no power or control of vehicle. Vehicle was completely disabled. Had it towed to dealer. Vehicle had 600 miles - seven days old; gm replaced vehicle at no cost.
