Transmission causes car to shudder or shake/vibrate at lower speeds and lower rpm (auto shifting) It's been like this since it was purchased. If you perform manual shifting at 2500 RPM's or higher you don't experience the same shake/vibration. Ron Craft Cadillac says it's performing as expected.

At major intersection was at a stop red light. Began accelerating vehicle stalled and the light engine turned on, transmission stuck at first gear and would not accelerate above 20mph. This happened as I tried passing a vehicle in front to later make a turn. The car has had this issue several times. Reported to Cadillac they asked that I report as a lemon meanwhile this is a lease vehicle.

Transmission shudders on light acceleration (worst at around 50 mph) general acceleration feels similar to an engine misfire with intermittent drops in power. Some times transmission can shift hard and have a bang, jarring feeling.
