Cadillac is certainly known for combining luxury with quality. However, we’ve received numerous calls on the 1 800 LEMON LAW hotline from folks complaining of Cadillac ATS transmission problems, particularly with cars with manual transmissions.

Drivers have been dealing with shuddering and loss of speed, with NHTSA complaint boards filled with various stories of Cadillac ATS transmission problems. Some people have found themselves stalled on the highway. To make matters worse, service advisers are not always able to locate a code or duplicate the problem.

To Cadillac’s credit, the company has initiated a recall for applicable vehicles featuring a software fix; however, not all drivers are satisfied. Additionally, many newer 2013 and 2014 models suffer from this issue, disappointing countless Cadillac customers and new car drivers.

While General Motors has said it is unaware of any crashes or injuries associated with these transmission troubles, more than 68,000 2013 and 2014 Cadillac ATS sedans have been recalled since June 2014.
