Transmission shift cable - transmission gear selection does not match the indicated gear causing the vehicle to move in an unintended or unexpected direction. i was backing up and went to put the gear in drive and i pressed the gas but the car went backwards. i hit the brake and attempted to move the gear handle and it shifted forward very loosely. although it displayed drive on the gearbox, when i pressed the gas the car would still go in reverse. capital cadillac in smyrna, ga later confirmed that the shift cable needed to be replaced but never mentioned this recall "general motors (gm) is recalling approximately 90,750 model year 2013-2014 cadillac ats, and 2014 cadillac cts vehicles. the transmission shift cable on the affected ats and cts vehicles may detach from either the bracket on the transmission shifter or the bracket on the transmission. in fact, i was told by the service advisor at capital cadillac that the part is on back order and that he didn't know when it would come in.

Afraid to drive my vehicle. i took the vehicle in under warranty because the car lost power on the off ramp from the highway. the air conditioning shut off, and i then noticed nothing on the car was working, brakes, steering, engine!! the dealer could not duplicate the issue. this past friday it happened again at rush hour and my wife almost got into a serious accident. i am now out of warranty and have a car i am afraid to drive. i have found some other posts of this issue, but no resolution. this should be a recall for safety and if they cannot fix, the car should be replaced.
0n more than five occasions the vehicle has accelerated when coming to a stop. i've had to hit the brakes and shift into neutral to get the rpm's back to normal.the last 2 times my wife has been with me in the car ,she now refuses to ride in the car. i've had the car in for repairs three time specifically for that problem. the car will run fine for a short time then all of a sudden the same old problem of accelerating when slowing down or coming to a stop. i do not feel safe in this vehicle and would like the lease terminated a.s.a.p.
