Car will not respond for at least 2 seconds during a slow, rolling stop, when trying to accelerate again. Unable to perform evasive manuever, if needed, secondary to the delay to accelerator input. Harsh 2-1 downshifts also at slow speeds and can even feel as though you were struck from behind. Highway driving is excellent; city driving challenging with the transmission. The driver has to learn how to drive this vehicle. Find it very unusual after owning 5 other Cadillac and never had this problem. I bought this car as a pre-owned certified vehicle from Cadillac dealer. The car had 650 miles on it and I truly beatiful/showroom condition. I had the transmission re-flashed, which provided perhaps a 1-2 days relief. I will continnue to persue with dealer, but wanted you guys to be aware. Cadillac should fix the problem; new/different type of transmission or re-work the 8L45/8L90's with differnet vlaves/software or buy it back from me.
