| Power Train problems |
Truck goes into limp mode, reduced power, stuck in second gear, stabilitrak and engine lights. Took it to the Cadillac dealership and after 3100 dollars in repairs the truck is still doing it. If the high level techs can’t figure it out after 2000 in labor it’s should be a recall item.

I really concern about that and the dealers know the problem and doesn"t make a massive recall on that I just report that if I had a accident I report on the NHTSA page.
Service stabilitrak that proceed into reduced engine power. Normally while steering the problem will drop up. I have gone twice into gm/Cadillac dealers and they incapable of fixing it.
