“On february 22nd 2021 the car had to be towed to a auto repair shop. It was determined that the wiring was wet and the entire wiring had completely burned out. I have had numerous repairs done on this vehicle from the time I purchased it to the present date.”
NHTSA complaint #11399147, filed 2021-03, 88,000 miles“I was backing out of my parking space when I heard a noise and realized that I could not turn the steering wheel. I moves the car forward into the parking space again and a message on the display screen read to service power steering. Upon my research the electrical module or motor has been know to stop working. I was not driving and I thank god for that because the steering wheel would have been impossible to turn. Researching the problem I noticed that the 2013 Cadillac ATS had major problems with the electrical steering. The NHTSA should look into this problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #11594208, filed 2024-06“I bought my car from a dealership. Owned it for 2yrs 2mo. 107k miles First issue came up after 3-4 months. Faulty power steering. Took it to service at a dealership they said I would need my wire harness assembly replaced as well as a steering gear. Problem still persists. Also one of the mechanics there showed me that the previous owner glued harness connector components together which is why I started seeing issues that weren't there before. Now today three new warning/service lights: abs, brake warning and traction control lights. I think it is the battery but I haven't tested it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11716084, filed 2026-02“The cue system screen has become unresponsive due to separation of the glue the system is pretty much the heart of the car everything electrical is controlled thre that screen along with the back up camera”
