My car is loosing oil, I have to keep putting oil in my car. I think this is affecting the performance of the Cadillac converter that makes the car lose power, make noise and overall make the car not run correctly.

My vehicle stalled at slow speeds. When gas pedal pressed the vehicle would rock back and forth then die. Very dangerous because it happened on the freeway. A year ago my vehicle was part of the oil consumption issues and the pistons and rings were changed. Now the 'I take camshaft solenoid' is affected possibly causing the current issue. I have done research and see that many people have had the same issues with the same vehicles. Why would something like this not be a recall?? It happened last year as well and was told that by changing the pistons and rings that that would solve the problem. Apparently it didn't.

Vehicle has been experiencing stalling conditions in wet weather, dealer replaced a cam position sensor. Today after taking the car through a car wash upon starting the engine it went into wide open throttle condition, over 6000 RPM. At first I was standing on the brakes to keep the vehicle from accelerating out of control. After 10 minutes the idle dropped to normal and was able to get the car home.

My car is cutting off without any warnings in traffic and when parking also at stop lights. I took it to a local shop to have it checked due to the check engine light finally coming on. Only to find out my car had no oil. Note I keep my routine maintenance up on my car due to having a small child. Also cam shaft code my car is out of warranty and I just paid car payment. Reading complaints I see this problem is happening alot. Not sure if I will keep this car feeling very unsafe with a small child and car cutting off and oil running out without any warnings gmc should fix this problem should have been fixed years ago. Putting families life in danger just too make a dollar. Safety first is my #1 reason for sharing this my car cut off 12 times in one day really & I would keep this car .I could have been rear ended several times with the car turning off .I have to take the key out and restart it really on 2013.I can't believe this is happening to me once again I have a lemon and I know for fact I'm not the only one with this problem
