Rear left/rear right axle seals leaking reported to me on 06/01/2020 while 2014 Ats was in for service for tires and coolant leak mileage 71,538. I was advised it's a very slow drip and it doesn't need to be taken care of right away but to keep an eye on it vebally over the phone. I looked back on my service records and the leak was detected on 03/20/2020 by the dealer but R.0 closure date is noted as 03/18/2020 I was not made aware of a critical repair needed on the drive axle (rear differential leak) odometer on 03/18/2020 59,750. The seals should not be breaking at this mileage... this should be covered under warranty. It's a massive issue with the Cadillac Ats. This is going to cost around $1500 to fix now... which is obsurd. This is a safety hazard to drive the car like this as per many online reports that I've read online.

Car failure multiple times when stopped. Car shuts down when stopping at stoplights stopsigns. RPM's fall to zero, then car shuts down. Sometimes it will shudder before shutting down. When starting car back up, it will shudder and slowly try to start. This has put me in some dangerous situations on the road.

Car was parked in parking spot/lot of heb. Started engine and gear shift lever was shifting w/out pressing the brake while remaining in park. The car would not move. Called tow truck. Tow truck driver was able to put car in drive to drive it to pep boys, a mechanic nearby. After 5 days, pep boys stated it was a recall, however my VIN no. Is not associated w/any recall per Cadillac. Towed it to Cadillac and they stated that the problem is the cable that is connected to your transmission or shift lever got detached. Further they stated that this particular part is not covered under my extended warranty. It appears to be a safety issue and it is similar to the GM recall no. 14179.

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.

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.

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.
