Vehicle displays 'service rear axle' 'service stabilitrak' 'park assist temporarily unavailable' 'automatic seatbelt tightening unavailable'. 4 separate and unique occurrences. Some have also included 'reduced engine power'. typically the messages come on and reduced power occurs after expressway driving, followed by stop and go city driving or traffic. Also ambient temps are over 80 degrees with each occurrence. Lastly engine bay is extremely hot after the service messages are displayed. Engine temperature gauge does not indicate overheating (displays under the halfway point of the gauge). I have 2 separate video documentations that can be uploaded to youtube. 1st occurrence resulted in cylinder head replacement under warranty. The next 3 occurrences have all happened after the warranty service. Dealership has been unable to replicate the issue after the car cools down. Cadillac customer service said a second dealership review was required even though the car was brought to the dealer with the above service messages present. Attached documents display first warranty service, and second record service messages being present. Similar tsb issued for the ats-V LF4 engine for 'service rear axle' or 'rear axle off', also the LT4 engine has a tsb for engine overheating and going into reduced power mode when the charge air cooling system is not refilled properly via vac-N-fill method. This vehicle has a similar liquid to air, charge air cooling system, requiring the same type of fill method. Full disclosure I am a General Motors employee.

The rear differential locked while driving at 45mph on a straight, four lane road. It made a loud thump and felt as if the brakes were slammed on. The car pull hard left and the rear tires were smoking. Managed to get the car back to the right and stopped after hitting the curb. Fortunately no other vehicles were involved. The elsd is on backorder and will not be available for 90 days.

Axle half shaft bolts backed out breaking mating gears in differential. Vehicle was in motion when a vibration that felt like a wheel was extremely out of balance started. The vehicle was pulled over to inspect. After seeing nothing I attempted to drive away so it was put in drive and as the brake was released the gears broke disabling the vehicle necessitating a flat bed tow to the dealer.

Complete rear differential assy failure, at my expense of $4590 GM did kick in $2500 but even with the repair there is no fix for the replacement that is currently being fixed. A full recall with repair, reimbursement or buy out should be demanded, this is a life and death safety issue.

My wife was driving and made a right hand turn into a parking lot. The car by itself automatically shut off and the gear shift went by itself from drive position into park. The car did restart. The dealer cannot find anything wrong with the car.

I was driving a 2014 Cadillac Cts on 04/27/14, in fremont, ca. Vehicle configuration: 2014 Cts 3.6L rwd performance. VIN, to the best of my knowledge: 1G6as5S39E0[xxx] the incident occurred at approximately 11am. The planned travel route was as follows: Fremont Cadillac, 5939 automall pkwy, fremont, ca ||| nw on boyce road ||| N on stevenson blvd ||| interstate-880S ||| exit automall pkwy ||| fremont Cadillac. I traveled North on stevenson blvd and then headed for the onramp for interstate 880-South. When I approached the freeway onramp I noticed, all of a sudden, a delay between pedal application and power. I demonstrated this to my passenger twice over, by gently letting off the gas and applying it again... at which point the vehicle's check engine light came on, accompanied with a loss of traction control and stability control, reduced engine power, and shuddering during gear shifts. The vehicle was traveling approximately 40mph at the time. Aside from the aforementioned issues, no other problems with the vehicle were observed. I only traveled two miles before experiencing these issues. As this was a brand new car on a test drive, it obviously had very few miles on the odometer. Upon returning to the car dealership, the sales associates pulled the car back onto the sales lot, moved other new cars out of the way, and parked the car amongst other new vehicles for sale. The vehicle was most certainly not pulled into the service drive. Needless to say, this is unsettling news. I have no faith that the vehicle was properly inspected, nor do I have faith that the dealership will responsibly handle this matter. It is my recommendation that GM withdraws this vehicle from dealer inventory and performs an independent assessment of the vehicle.
