However, the leak is inconsistent—it disappears for a few days after rain or washing my driveway but then reappears under similar conditions. 3.Delayed Shifting: When accelerating from a stoplight, there is a delay before the transmission engages, causing hesitation before the car moves forward. 4.Automatic Start-Stop Issue: The vehicle has an automatic engine shut-off feature that activates when stopping at a light.

The contact owns a 2016 Cadillac CT6. The contact stated that while in reverse, the vehicle accelerated inadvertently. The brake pedal was depressed to stop the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated while driving between 30-45 MPH on several occasions, the gears shifted, and the vehicle jolted forward. Additionally, that contact stated that the vehicle was constantly shaking. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was first not able to be duplicated.

CAR WILL NOT RESPOND FOR AT LEAST 2 SECONDS DURING A SLOW, ROLLING STOP, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. UNABLE TO PERFORM EVASIVE MANUEVER, IF NEEDED, SECONDARY TO THE DELAY TO ACCELERATOR INPUT. HARSH 2-1 DOWNSHIFTS ALSO AT SLOW SPEEDS AND CAN EVEN FEEL AS THOUGH YOU WERE STRUCK FROM BEHIND. HIGHWAY DRIVING IS EXCELLENT; CITY DRIVING CHALLENGING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE DRIVER HAS TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. FIND IT VERY UNUSUAL AFTER OWNING 5 OTHER CADILLACS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED VEHICLE FROM CADILLAC DEALER. THE CAR HAD 650 MILES ON IT AND I TRULY BEATIFUL/SHOWROOM CONDITION. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION RE-FLASHED, WHICH PROVIDED PERHAPS A 1-2 DAYS RELIEF. I WILL CONTINNUE TO PERSUE WITH DEALER, BUT WANTED YOU GUYS TO BE AWARE. CADILLAC SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM; NEW/DIFFERENT TYPE OF TRANSMISSION OR RE-WORK THE 8L45/8L90'S WITH DIFFERNET...
