Cadillac ATS Parts

The Cadillac ATS is a compact car available in both four-door sedan and two-door coupe models. The vehicle features rear- or all-wheel drive and is constructed on the Alpha platform. The base model comes equipped with a 2.5L I4 petrol engine, delivering 202 horsepower, with a turbocharged I4 and a V6 also available. The ATS offers a combination of a sporty ride and luxury feel, with the turbocharged 2.0L engine model boasting a six-speed manual transmission. It comes with modern infotainment systems, including navigation and Bluetooth. In 2016 Cadillac introduced an eight-speed automatic transmission and automatic start/stop function, along with an updated 3.6L LGX engine with cylinder deactivation. A notable feature is its focus on weight reduction, making the car lighter than its reference model. Components like the bonnet, front wheel, and body are made of aluminum for this purpose. Further enhancing its appeal is the potential for a convertible and an all-wheel-drive variant. The Cadillac ATS offers a perfect blend of power, luxury, and sophisticated design.

The Cadillac ATS has faced a range of notable issues. A persistent problem is the CUE system consistently freezing, rendering the touchscreen unresponsive. This freezing issue is particularly prominent in ATS CUE systems from 2016 to 2019. Although solutions such as hard resetting the radio or system reset have been suggested, they often prove ineffective. Many have resorted to having the screen replaced, sometimes multiple times, with repairs sometimes exceeding $1,000. Another distinct concern is related to the vehicle's five-spoke wheels, particularly ones with specifics like "7Jx15", "37ET", and the code "463 401 02 02". Upon inspection, these wheels displayed cosmetic flaws, including discoloration, without significant damage such as curb scratches. Discussions about the wheels' precise specifications and compatibility arose, with corrections regarding the wheel's offset and its suitability for certain models. However, arguably the most severe issue pertains to significant transmission problems. Despite new installations, shuddering during upshifts has been a recurring problem, potentially due to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) not being reset appropriately. Many ATS owners, especially those with 8-speed transmissions, reported similar shuddering issues, with even low mileage vehicles exhibiting jerkiness commonly associated with older models. This widespread problem led to a class-action lawsuit against General Motors (GM) over the alleged sale of faulty transmissions. The defects, believed to reduce the vehicle's value and pose potential dangers, have seen various explanations from underlying engine problems to inconsistent transmission performance. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received numerous complaints, and despite Cadillac's recall initiatives offering software fixes, many remain unsatisfied, especially considering the high impact on 2013 and 2014 models. Due to these transmission concerns, drivers are advised to explore remedies under state Lemon Laws or Federal Warranty laws.
