My 2009 Cadillac Dts does not go in reverse. I haven't driven it in 3 months. Before I parked it, the Cadillac wouldn't go into 3rd gear. What could the problem be?

SOURCE: Everytime I put my car i park it goes into reverse.

It sounds like you have a damaged shifter cable.It is an adjustable cable but if it is that far out of adjustment then it is probably damaged. Replace it.

SOURCE: vechile will not shift into park or reverse

The first thing to check is the linkage. Sometimes the linkage will slip, Block the wheels on the car (both front and rear) to prevent rolling. Locate the shift linkage on your transmission, and loosen the nut. You should be able to move the shift lever through all the gears, including "P" and "R". Place the transmission shift lever in "Park" (on the transmission) then move the shift lever (inside the car) in the "P" position and tighten the nut (not a bad idea to use a new locking nut here) You should now be able to shift through all gears. If this does not work, you have a more serious problem that may include a worn or broken belt or broken parking pawl inside the transmission.

Brake system wiring for 2006 dts .dose it work the shifter solonoid

shift interlock system solenoid ? Doesn't gear selector move from park ? DTS ???? Cadillac ???? If it is the cadillac dts , brake pedal position sensor is a input to the BCM - body contol module . The BCM controls the shift lock control solenoid . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

Gear shift stuck in park on 2006 caddillic dts

Shift lock control on this vehicle is complicated - your problem is probably a malfunctioning part in the system such as the shift lock control switch at the brake pedal, the Park relay, the shift lock relay (if equipped) or the A/T shift lock control solenoid. Take it to a dealer ...

So I reversed my 2001 Cadillac dts into a parking space and when I shifted into park and turned the car off it wouldn't let me take the key out and it wouldn't let me start the car anymore and its...

Well its probably the range selector sensor. The computer thinks the transmission is still in drive. It has to be in park or neutral to start.
You'll probably need to have it towed to a shop for repairs. A mechanic might be able to jumper the starter to make it crank in drive. The range selector sensor will probably need to be replaced.

Since the transmission in this car is electronically controlled the first thing that must be done is to have the transmission control module scanned for fault codes, that is numero uno.

Gear stick vibration only in 3rd gear @ 2500 rpm on my new 2009 Tucson 2l any idea what causes this,as dealer says new "PART" needs to be fitted

My brand new 2009 Tucson has the same problem. My dealer said it needs a 3rd Gear Kit fitted.
They are on back order as a number of other Tucson's have the same problem. I may have to wait 3 months for the part.
My dealer has ordered 126 back order parts for this problem.
