Some Cadillac ATS owners report experiencing issues with the check engine light, which often indicates problems with the engine or emissions system. Common concerns for 2013-2014 models include engine misfiring, coolant leaks in the 2.0t engine, and electrical failures linked to a faulty battery, as well as transmission shuddering due to a detached shift cable. Owners emphasize the importance of identifying and addressing the root cause of the check engine light to avoid more severe problems and expensive repairs down the line. In cases where repeated tie-rod replacements occur under warranty, it is crucial for owners to collaborate closely with their dealership or authorized service center to ensure proper replacements and to tackle any underlying issues contributing to these failures. Additionally, some owners note that the check engine light may require multiple drive cycles for the system to register that the issue has been resolved after repairs.
