2Complaint Number: 10234780Incident Date: July 17, 2008Date Added to File: July 18, 2008
Description of the Complaint:
My 2008 cadillac cts v6 di awd has a dangerous acceleration lag when you step on the gas to pass or get out of the way of a hazard in road. There is about a 1-2 sec lag between stepping on pedal and rpms moving, and about another second or so before any pick up happens. Doesn't sound like much, but no other car i have had, did this. At the speed of oncoming vehicles, a 1-2 second lag can mean a 30 - 60 yards of distance being traveled by an oncoming car or truck. That sight fills up rear view mirror fast. In my opinion, this is a serious design flaw and potentially death causing defect. This happens anytime i need quick acceleration, and is also happening in other cars i tried at dealership to see if it was just mine.
