Cadillac ATS shifting to Manual on its own - help!

Asked by Bosco215 Oct 20, 2020 at 07:51 PM about the 2014 Cadillac ATS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hoping someone here can help me. I have a 2014
ATS, about 50K miles. Sometimes while I’m driving,
the car will go from Drive to M1 or M2 gear without
me doing anything. There are no shift buttons on
the wheel, and I definitely didn’t shift gears myself.
If I try to shift the gears to get it back in drive
nothing happens. Reverse neutral and park all
work, but the screen will still show M1/2. Turning
the car off and back on will bring it back to normal
sometimes, but there have been times I’ve just had
to wait for a few minutes before I could drive
normally again.
Any idea what can cause this??? The car is
currently at the dealership, and of course this didn’t
happen when they checked it out so they’re saying
it’s fine. They said no error codes came up when
they checked for that
I don’t know much about car maintenance but
someone suggested it may be a PCM issue?
any advice would be appreciated. I’m supposed to
pick the car up tomorrow but I want to be sure they
checked everything that could possibly cause this
before I pay them for essentially renting a loaner car
for a day. Thanks in advance

Same thing happening to me. Not very often though. It’s a 2014 ATS & it’s happened maybe twice in the 3 years I’ve had it

2014 ATS Cadillac has put a recall on some of these models and are required to fix these issues and make sure to search the network for more details and ask the Cadillac dealership for more information

I just had the same thing happen and the Manual switch was bad and to fix it, they had to replace the entire shift assembly. For parts and labor was $750
