just blew the third motor on my 14 ats 2.0t. 12k miles currently. motor , tuning everything is bone stock only use 93 octane fuel. only thing i changed is had some denso spark plugs installed because the last time it blew up my delaer PEACOCK cadillac in houston replaced the entire motor and reinstalled the old fouled dirty blackened smashed spark plugs from the engine they removed
since the car ran like crap still with a brand new motor and obvisoully i had no confidence in them as this was the second motor they had to install i pulled a plug out to inspect it obvisouly was not a fresh 23 mile ( distance i drove from dealer to house) spark plug as it should have been. when i talked to a customer service rep here he told me yes the plugs were changed the engine comes with new plugs. after removing all 4 spark plugs from the car they were are foulded black and 1 was crushed parts of the piston had to have smashed the ground strap against the rest of the plug creating NO gap in the plug much less the .035 or whatever gap it needs.
regardless. i know i have seen multiple people have multiple engine failures now. i have seen a few that are on 4th motor.
i dont understand how cadillac could think this fine and i should just keep this peice of shit car. how am i supposed to pay all this money for a car each month that i dont know how far it will go before the engine fails again or if it will get me to my destanation .
mercedes CLA , BMW 335, ford raptor truck are all sounding real good right now.
