2014 Cadillac Ats engine problems

Filed Mar 5, 2024 · Engine, Transmission · CA

My engine RPM would randomly lock to 4000 rpms while driving, i could rev the car or apply the brakes but it will sit their until it decides to respond. This has happened a few times and mostly down hill and flats. Difficult to replicate. Cooling system has been a plague at around 80k miles i've had to replace a clamp at the back near the water outlet flange which i was quoted $2000 for just the labor alone as the engine would need to be removed.And the water pump failed at around 82000 miles. Also plagued with P06DE "Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck On" error code a few times now.

54,189 miles on car currently. Since june of 2019 my car/engine will completely shut off at a red light, or a coming to a stop sign (basically completely stopped or coming to a stop). Its even shut off while in reverse. When this happens, the gear is still in drive. So I then have to put the car in park,press the brake and start it again. It sputters to start again, but it starts. Its getting more frequent, with it stopping up to 3 times at one stop light, and then having to restart it again. There are no codes on the dash. Ive brought my car into crest cadillac multiple times to try and diagnose this issue. They cannot find the root cause, and it still happening most recently today! There is a new battery, alternator testing in good condition. They have tested the battery cables/lines. This is incredibly frustrating. My car has stopped on me when trying to accelerate and turn into a lane and I was almost hit bc my engine completely shut off. I also called gm and was told without a diagnosis they cant help. Ive spent so much money on diagnostic tests with no answers. I need help please

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.

I turned a corner, drove through some sand on the road and broke traction. After that, the traction control system lights came on and within several seconds the check engine light came on. I had onstar service run remote diagnostics and they found ABS failing and a cylinder misfire. The car took an immediate loss in power and started to shake at all power levels.
