FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

14 months

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11610956

Weather was dry. Time was 5:30 PM - still sunlit. Driving down the interstate, 70 MPH in the middle lane of a three lane highway. Super Cruise is active, no cars in front of me within 500+ feet. I MAY recall a partially blown tire in the lane to my left. All of a sudden, car brakes and slows abruptly to about to about 40MPH. I can not recall of brakes were active but my car was configured for "one pedal driving" so when the accelerator was disengaged, the brake is applied. "Service Driver Assist" warning comes on. The service driver assist icon on the dashboard remained yellow. The next morning, the service driver assist icon was gone.

Rear view camera system display (360 surround) was completely inoperative. Rear view camera display did not appear on IP display when vehicle was shifted into reverse, nor did it appear when the "camera" app was selected from the center display. No warning messages present; OnStar remote code read indicated no codes. Danger is to others behind the vehicle, particularly children in blind spot. Problem persisted over several trips until I disconnected and reconnected the vehicle's 12 volt battery, and now everything is working correctly. Did not take vehicle to dealer now that everything is working; suspect software issue cleared by "vehicle reboot"

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11546808

Manufacturer has replaced and recalibrated headlights on 2 occasions however they will not maintain aim on road. This is consistent and as of now besides the repairs performed they do not know how to rectify this. Additionally in the rain or moving from a shadow to sunlight the rear cross traffic alert will trigger if enabled on vehicle causing emergency braking for no reason. it will continue to happen until turned off and car restarted. The car has been towed on 3 occasions in the first 4000 miles for complete loss of power. Dealer solution to remove 12v battery and reinstall same battery to clear elcectrical codes however problem keeps occurring.

Fuel system failure

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

5 months

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11553650

I was in a left hand turn lane. When I started to make the turn my vehicle lurched and stopped. I tried several times to go and this behavior repeated. Onstar called me (or I called them). They called 911 for me and a fire truck was dispatched to help me. I was in the intersection and afraid to try anything else until the fire truck arrived to control the traffic so I could be moved from the intersection. When they arrived I was able to put the vehicle in drive and drive it out of the intersection and then home. When I got home, I had Onstar run a diagnostic and there was an error code for the high voltage battery. I had previously reported to my dealer that I was getting alerts to service the high voltage battery (on the myCadillac app). They were unable to find a problem. No crash happened this time, but if it occurred when I was in front of oncoming traffic then a crash may have occurred.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11558411

The 12 volt battery of my 2023 Lyriq died even though the main battery was at 79% charge. The car had sat unused for three days. The 12 volt battery controls the opening of doors, charging ports, and all other accessories. I was effectively locked out of my car without warning. The only way in the car is by using the key in the keyfob and crawling through the trunk. GM has known about this issue, but has not informed owners that this could happen and what to do. They believe it is from an installation of an over the air update stalling, but cannot prove that is definitively the issue. As a woman, I rely on my vehicle to be a place of safety and find it completely unacceptable to be locked out of my car in any public setting. I live in an urban area and have had to rely on my car as a place of refuge from people that I do not feel safe around. Having a jumper from the main propulsion battery to ensure that the doors still work should be integrated and customers alerted at a minimum. I'd rather sit inside a dead car and wait for help, than be stuck outside it or crawling through my trunk.

Airbag / restraint failure

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11571261

Driving on connecter road between 2 freeways at 35-40 mph because of traffic. Suddenly the car veers to left on its own and hits concrete lane guiding wall damaging the left front of the car. Next tried to brake and they didn't work. Unable to steer the car it heads to the right and up on the rocks decorating of the road. Car goes another 25 or more feet before stopping due to rocks slowing down the car. The air-bags never deployed. Tried to contact SOS button but didn't work. Next contacted ONSTAR but they were no help and didn't show that an accident occurred and said call 911 which was done. Ever since the purchase of this EV car have been having trouble with it. The Emergency light (red car on dashboard) lit up and went to dealer who kept the car over a week. Green car worked for a while but occasionally turned red. Went to dealer again. Also, one day the steering wheel would not work until tried several time to restart the car. Dealer managed to break the steering wheel and repaired it. They also cracked the glass on the computer screen but denied they did it. Was planning to enact the Lemon Law on the car. Car now in repair shop. VELLOCITY COLLISION CENTER, 8765 LINDELL RD STE 100, LAS VEGAS, NV 89139 TEL 7028971320. Called GM Cadillac to inform them of information on accident. They said they would report this to the engineers there and report back to me. That was right after the accident but they have never tried to contact me.
