Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO HER PARENTS HOUSE GOING UP A INCLINE AND THE VEHICLE COULDN'T PULL THE HILL SLOWED DOWN TO APPROX. 20MPH BUMPED AND SHOOK AS IT WENT UP THE HILL. WHEN SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AT HER PARENTS HOUSE YOU COULD SMELL SOMETHING LIKE BURNT TRANSMISSION OR SOMETHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS AND THE 1ST INSTANCE CADILLAC DEALER SAID THE COMPUTER TO THE TRANSMISSION DUMPED ITS PROGRAM AND THEY WENT IN AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK IN AFTER CHRISTMAS. HYDROPLANING IS ALSO A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THIS CAR ALSO DOESN'T LIKE TO STAY IN A LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I FEEL THIS CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL BE LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY TO DEEM IT AS A LEMON. *TR
