Vehicle was stationary in our home garage. It would not start, it would start when jumped but died shortly after. We had the battery tested, it was bad, we replaced w a new battery. Car started right up, but would not cut power once the key was removed from the ignition. Car dings and dash and radio are on as if keys are still in the ignition.

The car is running like it is stuck in some kind of safety mode. It does not want to accelerate unless it starts accelerating in third gear. It does not come out of 3rd gear at all. The engine light and airbag lights are lit up on the dash. There is a couple of recalls listed for the same exact year make and model but it says that this VIN number is not under recall. I think that this vehicle needs to be inspected to see if it actually does need to be listed under those recalls. It is not just this one specific VIN number having these issues either. I have talked to quite a few cadillac owners that are having the same problems and their vehicles are not listed under those recalls either. If you turn on the car you put it into drive the car remains stuck in 3rd gear and will not shift through the gears properly.

My car was running fine. Then my engine sounded like a loud truck. No warning came. The check engine lite never went on so I stop driving it till it went to the dealership because I was going to have it towed and when I started up the car the engine blew. I bought this car with a lifetime limited powertrain warranty and it covers the engine. The warranty is good for life as long as I own the car and keep up on all maintance at a gm dealership which I did for 8 yrs. The warranty company will not cover the cost of the repair because the dealership that I bought it from closed. I called gm and they will not do anything because they stated I need to go to the warranty company. Nothing states in my warranty if the dealership closes that my warranty is invalued. That is not right I feel that gm should pay the cost of this engine because I believe my check engine lite was faulty.
