I have the 2013 Ats 2.0 turbo and I had a few issues with it.the first is steering, sometimes feels like power failure, its the only new car I owned when the car is off the wheel turns completely.also pulls to right.other issue I get banging noise when put in reverse, and a few times sounded like trans making race noise.the cue system is a joke, when my trial for xm ran out I tried to listen to fm rdi and that's a joke, I cant listen to one song, there's static eighty percent of times.other issues ride is horrible rides like a trans am and shakes when hit bumps.after coming out of a Acura and Honda I now know why I stayed away from GM.oh forgot the engine shakes at idle feels like stall, then revs up.all the dealer does is says meets designed function.I ask myself a car this expensive is it supposed to be crap.

2.5 liter engine at stop engine shakes for no reason. As usual take to dealer and can't find issue without a code. Now at 2572 miles still shakes and dealer says that all Ats do this so live with it. I say that this Ats by GM. Needs to take these issues seriously as this will hurt the sales of a really cool car. Is there someone that can get the CEO of Cadillac attention this is unacceptable to paid over 35K. When I have brand new Kia that has a 4 cycl engine with no issues. Come on GM. Lets get this issue resolved I have already file a complaint to GM. But no response per usual. No wonder we by non american cars.I have waited 13 years to get a new car and I thought I give the Ats a try. What ashame that such a cool car that this engine ruins the great feeling to own a american car. Can someone please help us. O by the way the dealer is hill Cadillac in newtown. Edgemont pa. Any other Ats customers have same issues. I see on Cadillac forum there seems to be a lot of frustration about lack of a fix.

Rough idle when in drive and stopped at light (always), I did bring it in for service for the rough idle and dealership stated nothing showed up on computer so they were unable to correct problem.
