THE CUE INFORTAINMENT SYSTEM IS FAULTY. BESIDES CONTROLLING THE RADIO FUNCTIONS, IT CONTROLS THE BLUETOOTH AND AC SETTINGS. THE SCREEN FREEZES ALL THE TIME AND BLUETOOTH IS DROPPING OR PAUSING THE CALLS CREATING SAFETY HAZARDS WHILE DRIVING. IN GEORGIA IS ILLEGAL TO TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING BUT BECAUSE THIS FAULT IN THE CUE SCREEN A CADILLAC OWNER HAS TO TOUCH THE PHONE TO UNBLOCK OR UNMUTE THE CALL. IT IS A VERY KNOWN DEFECT ON MULTIPLE CADILLAC VEHICLES, CADILLAC IS AWARE OF IT BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT

CADILLAC ATS 2014 - WHEELS/TIRE RIMS - I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014 WITH MICHELIN RUN-FLAT LOW PROFILE TIRES. AS OF TODAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2018, I HAVE REPLACED 22 TIRES, DUE TO THE TIRE ITSELF SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE RIM. IN SEVERAL CASES THE CAR DID NOT INDICATE ON THE DISPLAY PANEL THIS PROBLEM EXISTED. THE BENEFIT OF THESE TIRES IS TO ALLOW YOU TO RIDE ON THEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 40-45 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS THE CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS INDICATE THE ISSUE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG YOU WERE ALREADY DRIVING WITH THE ISSUE. ALSO, ON OCCASION THE DISPLAY SHOWS PSI ZERO WHEN IT FIRST ALERTS YOU TO THE PROBLEM, WHICH REQUIRED ME TO BE TOWED AFTER WAITING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR OVER AN HOUR. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, CAUSING DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. WHEN I ADDRESSED THIS WITH THE DEALER, THEY INDICATED THE CAR DOES NOT REGISTER A TIRE ISSUE UNLESS THE INNER LINING OF THE TIRE IS RIPPED. WHEN DRIVING I AM CONSTANTLY WEAVING TO PREVENT ANY SIZE POT HOLE TO PREVENT ANOTHER TIRE EPISODE. THIS ALSO CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE TIRE AND/OR TIRE RIMS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE HAZARDOUS DRIVING SITUATIONS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. I HAVE PICTURES OF A FEW OF THE TIRE RUBBER SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE RIM, AND ALSO HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS FOR THE (21) TIRE REPLACEMENTS AND TOWING RECEIPTS IF NEEDED. INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED IN NY, NJ AND PA, THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE CAR DISPLAY WOULD INDICATED A PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IN SEVERAL OF THE INCIDENTS I SAW THAT THE TIRE WAS SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE RIM, YET THE CAR DISPLAY DID NOT INDICATE AN ISSUE. I CAN BE CONTACTED ON MY CELL PHONE [XXX]. I INDICATED IT HAPPENED 11/16/18, THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, UP TO THIS DATE 21 TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, IN ON INSTANCE 3-TIRES WERE REPLACED AT ONE TIME. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE - TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION DOES NOT MATCH THE INDICATED GEAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE IN AN UNINTENDED OR UNEXPECTED DIRECTION. I WAS BACKING UP AND WENT TO PUT THE GEAR IN DRIVE AND I PRESSED THE GAS BUT THE CAR WENT BACKWARDS. I HIT THE BRAKE AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE GEAR HANDLE AND IT SHIFTED FORWARD VERY LOOSELY. ALTHOUGH IT DISPLAYED DRIVE ON THE GEARBOX, WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS THE CAR WOULD STILL GO IN REVERSE. CAPITAL CADILLAC IN SMYRNA, GA LATER CONFIRMED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT NEVER MENTIONED THIS RECALL "GENERAL MOTORS (GM) IS RECALLING APPROXIMATELY 90,750 MODEL YEAR 2013-2014 CADILLAC ATS, AND 2014 CADILLAC CTS VEHICLES. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE ON THE AFFECTED ATS AND CTS VEHICLES MAY DETACH FROM EITHER THE BRACKET ON THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER OR THE BRACKET ON THE TRANSMISSION. IN FACT, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT CAPITAL CADILLAC THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT WOULD COME IN.

THE CAR HAS A CRACKED CUE SCREEN FROM THE INSIDE WHICH OPERATES ALL THE FUNCTIONS FOR DEFROSTING, AIR-CONDITIONING, AND HEATING. THE ONLY WAY TO USE ANY OF THE AIR/HEAT IS TO HAVE THE AUTO BUTTON. THE OPTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS HAS NOW BECOME A VERY VERY SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND YOU NEED TO HAVE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CLEAR. I ALSO SUBSCRIBE TO SIRIUSXM RADIO AND YOU CANNOT USE THE RADIO AT ALL FROM THE CUE SYSTEM OR THE STEERING WHEEL TO CHANGE THE CHANNELS OR VOLUME. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT OPERABLE AT ALL BECAUSE IT IS SET UP ON THE STEERING WHEEL . CADILAC SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENTIRE CUE SYSTEM SINCE YOU CAN ONLY USE HALF OF THE FUNCTIONS IN THE VEHICLE.

NHTSA ODI 11122855

AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR LOST POWER ON THE OFF RAMP FROM THE HIGHWAY. THE AIR CONDITIONING SHUT OFF, AND I THEN NOTICED NOTHING ON THE CAR WAS WORKING, BRAKES, STEERING, ENGINE!! THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS PAST FRIDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT RUSH HOUR AND MY WIFE ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAVE A CAR I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. I HAVE FOUND SOME OTHER POSTS OF THIS ISSUE, BUT NO RESOLUTION. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY AND IF THEY CANNOT FIX, THE CAR SHOULD BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE; DROVE INTO ROUGH MEDIAN GOING AT A DOWNHILL ANGLE. HIT TWO CULVERTS (MADE OF STEEL AND CONCRETE), ONE OF WHICH SENT THE CAR AIRBORNE. THE CAR LANDED INTO ONCOMING INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AND DID A 180 TURN BEFORE COMING TO A REST. THE STRUT CAME UP THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE CAR, AND THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS TORN UP VERY BADLY, AS WAS THE REAR BUMPER. THE FRONT TWO TIRES WERE POINTING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THE CAR WAS LATER DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, NOR DID THE ONSTAR SERVICE RESPOND (PAID MONTHLY FEES FOR OVER 4 YEARS).

WINDSHIELD IS DELAMINATING, CAR HAS 43,000MI AND THE WINDSHIELD IS IN GOOD SHAPE OTHERWISE.

NHTSA ODI 11054178

THE CADILLAC ATS HAS A PERVASIVE ISSUE WHEREBY THE WINDSHIELD IS DE-LAMINATING. IN EXTREME CASES THE "BUBBLES" EXTEND DOWNWARD AND INTERFERE WITH VISIBILITY. ALMOST ALL ATS VEHICLES IN HOT CLIMATES HAVE THIS DEFECT, MINE INCLUDED.

NHTSA ODI 11032943

THE CAR IS UNDER FULL FACTORY WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN TO THE CADILLAC DEALER 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE CADILLAC ATS HAS ADAPTIVE FORWARD LIGHTING AND THE HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY WILL NOT PROPERLY ALIGN WHICH CAUSES POOR VISIBILITY, OFTEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE MISALIGNMENT DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR DURING FIRST START UP, AND CAN OCCUR DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL. THE HEADLIGHT FAILURES CONSIST OF EITHER HEADLIGHT POINTING UP AND SOMETIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS POINT UPWARD SO MUCH THAT THE HIGHWAY IS DIFFICULT TO SEE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN, OPEN THE DOOR AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO ENCOUNTERED BOTH HEADLIGHTS POINTING DOWNWARD, CAUSING VERY POOR HIGHWAY VISIBILITY. THE ADAPTIVE FORWARD LIGHTING SYSTEM HAS FAILED ON MANY CADILLAC VEHICLES AS A SEARCH ON ANY CADILLAC FORUM WILL ATTEST. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFLASHED THE HEADLIGHT CONTROLLER, REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT CONTROLLER AND REPLACED ONE HEADLIGHT. THESE ACTIONS AND REPAIR ORDERS PROVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED THE ISSUES WITH THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM, BUT THE ADAPTIVE FORWARD HEADLIGHT SYSTEM HAS CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED MOST OF THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM FAILURES, WHEN POSSIBLE AND SAFE TO DO SO, WITH PICTURES AND VIDEOS. THAT INFORMATION HAS BEEN OFFERED TO THE DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THE DATED PICTURES OR VIDEOS AS PROOF OF AN ISSUE. THOUGH THE VEHICLE MAY SIT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR UP TO 5 DAYS, IF THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE (DURING DAYLIGHT ?), THE RESULT IS NO ACTION TAKEN TO CORRECT THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE. MISALIGNMENT OF THE VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY RELATED FAILURE.

0N MORE THAN FIVE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I'VE HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO GET THE RPM'S BACK TO NORMAL.THE LAST 2 TIMES MY WIFE HAS BEEN WITH ME IN THE CAR ,SHE NOW REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE CAR. I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS THREE TIME SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL RUN FINE FOR A SHORT TIME THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SAME OLD PROBLEM OF ACCELERATING WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE THE LEASE TERMINATED A.S.A.P.

IT WAS 5:30 PM ON 7-29-16, MY WIFE AND I WENT TO CHECK ON THE HOUSE WHILE OUR DAUGHTER & SON-IN-LAW WERE AWAY. AS ALWAYS, I HAD SLOWED THE CAR TO A CRAWL IN ORDER TO PARK BEHIND MY SON-IN-LAW'S CAR PARKED ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE. I GOT THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL ALMOST ON TOP OF THE CURB AND LET IT ROLL DOWN. WHEN THE WHEEL TOUCHED THE STREET THIS TIME, WE HEARD A LOUD SOUND (LIKE GEARS SHIFTING) AND THE CAR SUDDENLY REVVED UP AND SURGED FORWARD. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BUT COULD NOT AVOID HITTING THE FRONT CAR'S REAR FENDER. THE CAR BOUNCED BACKWARD BUT IT SURGED FORWARD AGAIN; IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO STEER AND AVOID HITTING CARS PARKED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. THAT NIGHT, WE EMAILED CADILLAC DETAILING WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND ASKED CADILLAC TO LOOK INTO THE CAR'S "DATA BANK." WE DID THIS BECAUSE A CAR EXPERT HAD TOLD US THAT EVERY ACTION OF THE DRIVER AND THE CAR WOULD BE INDELIBLY RECORDED IN THE 'DATA BANK.' WE WANTED CADILLAC TO EXAMINE THE 'DATA BANK' TO FIND OUT IF SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION (SUA) HAD TAKEN PLACE. PER THEIR INSTRUCTION, WE LEFT THE CAR AT A CADILLAC DEALER AND WAITED AND WAITED. FINALLY, ON 9/12/2016, 38 DAYS WE WERE COMPLETELY DEVASTATED TO RECEIVE A CALL FROM GM SAYING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR CAR. DEVASTATED BECAUSE WE HAD NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER THAT SUA HAD OCCURRED AND YET WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS. FURTHER GM DENIED OUR REQUEST FOR A COPY OF THE REPORT, WHICH IS PUZZLING. AFTER ALL, GM HAS NOTHING TO HIDE SINCE THEY CLAIMED THAT NO DEFECT WAS FOUND IN THE CAR. WITHOUT THE REPORT, WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER ANYTHING WAS RECORDED IN THE DATA BANK TO EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN SURGE. CLEARLY, IN THIS UNEQUAL ENCOUNTER, THE GIANT CORPORATION HOLDS ALL THE CARDS AND THE CONSUMER NONE. I SUPPOSE THAT THE UNSPOKEN MESSAGE IS THAT MY WIFE AND I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE NOT CRIPPLED, OR KILLED EVEN.

THE CAR FAILS TO AUDIBLY INDICATE TO THE DRIVER THAT THE TURNING SIGNALS HAVE BEEN ENGAGED. INSTEAD OF A CLICK, CHIME, OR OTHER INDICATOR, THERE IS SILENCE. THE RESULT IS THAT THE DRIVER DOES NOT HAVE FEEDBACK FROM THE VEHICLE INDICATING / VERIFYING THAT THAT A TURN SIGNAL HAS BEEN ENGAGED. THE DRIVER MAY BECOME DISTRACTED AND MAY NOT KNOW WHEN/IF A TURN SIGNAL HAS BEEN TRIGGERED. THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED TO THE RADIO SYSTEM. THUS, WHEN THE RADIO SYSTEM FAULTS (WHICH OFTEN OCCURS ON THIS MODEL), THESE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS ALSO FAIL. THE FAILURE WILL OCCUR RANDOMLY WHEN STATIONARY AND DRIVING AT SURFACE AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

PARKING BRAKE WILL FAIL TO DISENGAGE FULLY (WHEN DISENGAGING THE PARKING BRAKE) OR PARTIALLY ENGAGE ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. THE RESULT IS THAT THE CAR EXPERIENCES INCREASING DRAGGING, POOR ACCELERATION, AND SUDDEN STOPPING. THE CONSOLE BRAKE LIGHT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE IN ALL INSTANCES AND FAILS TO INFORM THE DRIVER THAT THE PARKING BRAKE HAS ENGAGED. WHEN RELEASING THE PARKING BRAKE FROM A PARKED STATE, THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL RAISES AND INDICATES TO THE DRIVER THAT THAT IT FULLY BEEN HAS DISENGAGED. THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ALSO TURNS OFF. HOWEVER, WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR, THE DRIVER DISCOVERS THAT THERE IS NO RESISTANCE/PUSHBACK ON PARKING BRAKE AND THAT IT FAILED TO RELEASE IN THE FIRST INSTANCE. AGAIN, IN THESE INSTANCES THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED IN SEVERAL INSTANCES IN NORTHING CALIFORNIA UNDER DRY AND FAIR WEATHER.

ON MAY/13/2014, AT 10 AM I HAD TO TRAVEL LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM MY OWN HOUSE TO MY PODIATRIC DOCTOR, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY TILL THE END OF MY APPOINTMENT ABOUT 30 MINUTES. UPON GOING BACK TO MY HOUSE I NOTICE SOME LIKE SCRATCHES ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN THAT HOUSE ALL CONTROLS, SUCH TO PLATY A RADIO STATION ETC. THE ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF SUCH SCREEN ABOUT 2 INCHES WIDE AND ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. ON MAY/16/2016 I CALLED BAKER CADILLAC OF CHARLESTON SC, EXPLAIN WHAT IT HAD HAPPEN, WERE TOLD TO BRING THE CAR SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT, SOME WE DID ON MAY/24/2016, WERE TOLD THAT WILL NEED TO ORDER THE PART AND WILL LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY HAD IT, I HAD TO INSIST FOR THE PERSON TO WRITE AN ORDER, SOME HE DID BUT NOT VEY HAPPY. WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR THE FORM TO BE READY ANOTHER EMPLOYEE TOLD US THAT IF WE SEE A RED LIGHT NOT TO DRIVE AND THAT HAD HAPPEN ON OTHER VEHICLES AND THEY ARE SEVERAL PIECES OF PLASTIC ON THAT CONFIGURATION, UPON RETURNING HOME A LONG ABOUT 1.1/4 INCH RED LIGHT APPEARED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF SUCH SCREEN, AS TODAY MAY/28/2016 THE VEHICLE IS NOT BEEN OUT OF MY GARAGE AND IT WILL BE THERE TILL THE TIME TO TAKE TO DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. ON MAY/26/2016 WE GOT A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALER BAKER CADILLAC TO LET US KNOW THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE AND WERE GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT FOR JUNE/01/2016 AT 11 AM AND WILL TAKE 1 TO 1.1/2 HOUR TO BE REPLACED. I WAS BIG SURPRISE THAT THE PART GOT THERE 2 DAYS LATTER, I TOOK A PICTURE BUT IS NOT VERY CLEAR, UPON BEING AT THE DEALER I WILL TRY TO OBTAIN A PICTURE THERE AND IF POSSIBLE ONCE IS REMOVED FROM MY VEHICLE AND IF POSSIBLE TO SEE IF THEY COULD GIVE IT TO ME. I THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATE..
