Hey, everyone:

I have a 2013 Cadillac ATS 2.0T premium and just had this exact same problem yesterday. It’s in the shop now. I was accelerating on the freeway, the engine began to shake, the TC and Stabilitrak lights came on. I pulled off the freeway and had it towed. The engine shakes pretty rough side to side and smells of oil. No engine light on though.

Anyone have any updates on this problem?? All my warranties have run out

Any significant engine issue will turn off the TC and stability systems because the controller can only apply the proper corrective measures when the engine is operating as expected so the TC and Stabil... function are just more symptoms of an underlying engine issue.

Given what your engine is doing, it won't be difficult for them to find the problem which could range from cheap (i.e. coil pack) to expensive internal damage. If it is out of warranty, then a Cadillac dealer is going to be the most expensive repair choice.

Thanks for your response, Rodger. I have the car at a non-Cadillac shop. They're still looking at it, but they did get a cylinder 3 misfire code. I'm hoping that it's a spark plug or similar issue and not some sort of piston/engine issue. Did anyone get a similar error code with this same problem?

FYI in case anyone has the same issue. The repair shop just called. They were getting the cylinder 3 misfire code. Turns out it was a coil issue. They're going to replace that and the spark plugs for good measure. Hopefully that will fix up the issue.
