Transmission drags. When stopping the car jerks bad and sometimes proceeds to accelerate. When at a stop auto start has a hard jerk I reported this problem to Cadillac dealership when I first got the car. They claim they couldn't find an issue. The touch pad goes out frequently.

The gas fuel tank continuously stops every time you are pumping gas. So it takes very long to fill up the tank. My center electrical screen for the radio, bluetooth, etc doesn't work. I paid extra for the feature and it doesn't work.

The radio screen is cracking from the inside of the screen I'm getting a spiderweb effect that is not allowing me to see the screen. Can't see the speed of my ac fan becasue I can't see the screen, can't change to bluetooth because I can't see the screen, can't use my navigation system that I paid extra for because I can't see the screen due to the spiderweb effect. This is a defect as I have used the radio under normal use and it should not crack from the inside. I can't use any of the radio features due to this issue.
