Took it in 2 weeks ago for an oil changed and they replaced a camshaft solenoid saying that was causing my issues. I had to take it back yesterday and now they're telling me it's a torque converter or a transmission and it's going to cost me $3,500. After reviewing I think have GM has a lot of issues with this component. GM was aware of the situation and never fixed it. As I read through the technical Bulletin due to the cost so they have the consumers pick up the cost.

2011 Cadillac ATS 3.6, Rear Differential went out, Repairmen has stated that this part is not available anywhere, and that Cadillac should have recalled this in the ATS, because there is a shortage of this part. Due to the inefficiency of the Rear Differential. But, Cadillac would have been out of a lot of money. Without this part, the Cadillac is undrivable.

Check engine light came on 2.5.21. Took it to the dealer and it needed a hose and sensor which was fixed. On the multipoint inspection, it was noted that there is a safety issue. The rear differential was leaking which can cause the tires to seize while driving. The car only has 63K miles on it. It is a 2013 Cadillac Ats turbo.the manufacturer's warranty expired and they will not cover the replacement.however, I did find a recall on the cts model. I also see a large amount of complaints on the Ats model, as well. The dealer quoted me $5K to replace the differential with only a 1 year warranty. I believe this is a result of poor quality and craftmanship and that there should be a recall on the Ats models, as well. The fact that they only offer a 1 year warranty is also concerning. This would reflect they know of the issue, and will only cover it for the shortest amount possible.

I took my car in for service on January 8, 2020 to southtowne GMC in newnan, ga. I was having problems with what appeared to be the transmission. I told the service person my car was taking a little time once I put it in drive mode. The service gentleman took a han held device and placed it under the dashboard of the vehicle and told me it was not detecting a problem. He checked the dashboard and noticed the check engine light was not on. I told him I wanted a diagnostic test done, he said since it was not detecting a problem it does no good to do a diagnostic. He never informed me about problems with transmission with this model vehicle. He told me there was nothing he could do, that he was swamped with repairs and that if I wanted him to check my transmission I would have to come back in March. I was able to drive the car away. One week later the car barely moves. Barely goes into gear. I have not driven the car since January 15, 2020. Can I get some help please.
