CADILLAC Complaints

The contact owns a 2022 Cadillac XT6. That contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, another vehicle suddenly came in front of the vehicle and depressed the brake pedal, and the braking assist failed to activate. The contact immediately depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle came to a stop and avoided a crash. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled; however, the vehicle had not been taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,370.

On June 13th 2024, and on July 30th 2024, while driving on highway my Cadillac XT4 suddenly jerked forward as if I had been struck from behind by another vehicle. The vehicle seemed to have lost all power and appeared to stall in the lanes of the highway. This created a very dangerous situation, causing vehicles behind me to swerve in order to avoid a collision. Be advised that the vehicle did not turn off, because I didn’t have to restart it, however it felt like it did. This situation could have caused myself, and passengers to be injured or killed, especially if a large truck was behind me and unable to stop. Luckily I was able to steer the vehicle onto the shoulder off the highway.

Car has a automatic back up braking system. The car will brake hard to stop vehicle if there is an object behind it. In this case, the car was braking when there was no object behind it. This happen continously while I was trying to back out of a parking space. I could only drive forward. Finally, after a few attempts to back out of the parking space, I was able to drive in reverse. After I was able to drive forward, I tested the the car drove to a location where there wasn't anything behind me. I put the car in reverse and it did it again automatically hard braked and stopped the vehicle. I waited then tried it again and I didn't have the problem anymore. I took the car to the Cadillac Dealer. I was told there have been others who have had this same issue. Furthermore, I was told they can't fix it. Perhaps the feature can be turned off I was told. I don't see where it can be turned off. The feature is a good safety feature if works when it should. Meaning, when there is truly an object behind the car. That's my complaint This was a scary episode.

After driving car all day off and on, it suddenly went into limp mode. Multiple misfires. Service traction t control and service stabilitrak warnings. Engine light flashing. Car had oil. Replaced oil pressure sensor. Replaced spark plugs. Wires. And coils. Will not clear misfire and won’t go out of limp mode. $7500 fix. This is ridiculous. I have heard of 15 others with the same issue.

I own a 2016 Cadillac Escalade that has been experiencing issues with the DVD player unit, as described in Bulletin No.: PIT5370C, dated December 2015. The specific problem is that a DVD has been stuck in the unit and will not eject. Additionally, the DVD button does not light up or respond to any touch. This malfunction aligns perfectly with the condition outlined in the bulletin, where the Instrument Panel Multifunction Switch (Eject Button) has been found to be hypersensitive, causing these disc handling problems. The safety of my passengers and myself has been compromised due to this issue. For instance, the inability to use the DVD player has caused significant distraction while trying to manage the media system during travel. This has been particularly concerning on longer trips where the media system is intended to provide entertainment to backseat passengers, reducing driver distraction. The unexpected ejection of discs has also posed a potential hazard within the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center, where the technicians verified that the disc player is malfunctioning due to the hypersensitive multifunction switch as detailed in the bulletin. However, despite this confirmation, my vehicle's VIN has been erroneously excluded from the recall, leaving the DVD unit inoperable. Prior to the complete failure of the DVD player, there were no specific warning lamps or messages indicating the impending issue. The symptoms started appearing gradually and have now rendered the DVD player completely unusable. Given that the described issue and its symptoms match the conditions outlined in Bulletin No.: PIT5370C, I request that my vehicle be included in the recall for covered repair to replace the faulty Instrument Panel Multifunction Switch (Eject Button) and restore the functionality of the media disc player.

I am not a mechanic so I don’t know what All I know is what I like I experienced and when I was driving down the road, my Cadillac shut off like it had no power to it no power steering no lights no dash lights no warning lights or nothing pulled over my car will not start back up I had to have it towed when I got home and looked inside the casing around. The battery had melted with a bunch of wires and tubing that was on top of the battery completely melted everything inside.

The rear differential has failed in my vehicle, and I was told by the dealer it is a safety hazzard & could lock up, leave me stranded or cause an accident. (this is the same safety issue as thousands of other vehicles most from 2014 & 2015 that IS on a recall).

The contact owns a 2021 Cadillac CT5. The contact stated while driving at approximately 72 MPH, there was a loud noise inside the cabin. The contact became aware that the sunroof had shattered without impact. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or local dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,100.

When approaching a red light at 5-10mph, I engaged the brakes, but the brakes did not work and the automatic breaking didn't work either, leading me to rear end the car in front of me. There were no prior warnings lights or notices, and the breaks were working properly before and after the accident. The car was towed to the dealership for inspection, but they could not find anything wrong and have contacted GM for further inspection.

The tire pressure guage reads the opposite tire. Causes allot of confusion and is a safety concern for anyone who owns the car.
