My boyfriend purchased me an 04 Cadillac CTs and I am having trouble in the mornings with my car going into drive right away. It takes a few to get it going , it goes in reverse just fine, the car will move slightly but just wont go. After you get it going it shifts great. Through out the day if it sits very long it does the same thing but just doesnt take as long as the mornings. Can anyone tell me what could possibly be going on. VERY FRUSTRATED

Well, you've landed in the wrong forum. This is the CTS-V forum. CTS-Vs of our vintage don't even come with automatic transmissions.

If the cars RPM go up (giving it gas) and the car doesn't move right away is what I think you are saying? You could be low on tranny fluid.

Being low on the transmission fluid could easily cause this problem. It is not that easy to check.

I would take it to a Cadillac dealer and just nicely ask them to check you're tranny fluid level. Some would do it for FREE.

Thanks I thought of that at first but I guess because it shifted good afterwards let the thought go but it makes sense so that is my next stop to get it checked thanks again.
