This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Cadillac dealer.
AT low speeds the car is very jerky and shifted very hard from first gear to second gear. The problem is more of an annoyance but passages and even one of the techs said it felt odd when driving. They later had their certified transmission person check it and said it was normal. So keep in mind if you don't want a jerky start off make sure to test drive yours at low and high speed to verify it is smooth sailing as it only gets worse over time.

The Hydra-Matic 8L90 transmission has always jerked very hard in shifting in low gears. The dealer told me they would change the transmission fluid, but if that didn't resolve the problem there was nothing more they could do. This did not fix the problem.
