I was involved in a car crash on 8-11-14. My husband brought my a 2014 Cadillac Ats for my birthday. A few months after ownership I noticed that when it rained the car would hydroplane, but the stabilitrak would make the vehicle jump back into it's lane I took my car in for the lease maintenance package the dealership did tire rotation and at time there was no mention of my tires thread wearing down. When I mentioned to service dept about the problems with the tires the explanation I was given is that the run flat tires are like the big wheel (child plastic tri-cycle from the 80's) tires when it rains that's why plus tires are low profile I have family member that work in the pac dept at GM and have knowledge that GM knows and have received complaints about the 14 Ats hydroplaning. I have researched and found other owner that have experienced the same exact problems, but I am the only person that almost died. GM is giant company and I have no voice for the companies/organizations that are supposed to assist me. GM they claimed that my tires were worn when I purchased my car it had only 2886 miles and when I crashed I had a little over 7,000 miles, that is impossible for my tires to have been worn! GM is obliviously trying to cover the issue

I turned a corner, drove through some sand on the road and broke traction. After that, the traction control system lights came on and within several seconds the check engine light came on. I had onstar service run remote diagnostics and they found ABS failing and a cylinder misfire. The car took an immediate loss in power and started to shake at all power levels.
