2026 CADILLAC VISTIQ Complaints
This complaint concerns the manufacturer's conduct of this recall, not the existence of the defect. A safety recall was issued for 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ vehicles for a third-row power seatback that may fail to reverse when it encounters an occupant. The manufacturer's original filing with this agency stated the remedy as replacement of the folding third-row seat module, and stated that disabling the feature was an option only for dealership inventory vehicles and for owners who chose it. That filing also stated that once replacement parts became available, the feature would be reinstated through a separate customer satisfaction campaign. The manufacturer then amended the filing twice: first deleting the owner-election language so that the feature "will be disabled," then changing the remedy type from "Replace" to "Software" and deleting the planned owner notification date entirely. What was actually performed on this vehicle was neither a module replacement nor a software reprogram. The third-row power-folding function was simply disabled during a routine maintenance visit, without the owner's knowledge or consent, and with no owner notification letter ever received. The recall nonetheless now shows as completed. Component: the third-row power-folding seat module and its electrical control. Inspectable on request. Safety relevance: the feature is permanently non-functional and the recall is closed as remedied, although the remedy described in the operative filing has not been performed. No owner notification, no parts, and no completion date have been provided; the manufacturer states it has no estimated timeframe. Confirmed by: an authorized dealer performed the disablement; the manufacturer acknowledged it in writing. Warning lamps: none. The only sign was a recall indicator in the vehicle's mobile app; the feature was found not to work.;
