NHTSA Complaint #11622839 — 2024 CADILLAC LYRIQ

While driving through Wisconsin on [XXX] with Super Cruise activated in 70MPH traffic the car provided me with driver's side collision warning failure notice and then a forward collision warning failure notice, but the car continued to be operating normally. A short time later a brakes overheating warning came on while the car still seemed to be operating normally and maintaining speed. I immediately disengaged the cruise control to check out the situation and the car instantly locked on the brakes, and we could see smoke and smell the burning brakes. I pulled to car to the side of the road, and we exited the car concerned there might be a fire coming from one of the 4 smoking wheels. The rotors were red hot. We remained a safe distance from the car until the brakes stopped smoking. After it appeared safe, I reentered the car and determined the brakes (parking brakes) were fully engaged and the car would not move. We contacted OnStar for assistance and waited. After a significant time (it seemed like quite a while) I suddenly heard the sound of the parking brakes electrically releasing. Shortly after that I started and tested the car again and it would move so we slowly drove it off the busy interstate to the next exit a short distance away and continued working with OnStar to obtain a tow to a Cadillac dealership. After working with OnStar for several hours and determining that there would most likely be no tow truck coming, we decided to test drive the car around the area now that the brakes had cooled off. We ended up renting a 'safety' car that my wife would drive, and I would try to drive the car back to Minnesota to our dealer. The car operated normally for the drive home, but we did not use any cruise control just in case. It was my belief that a system communication issue told the brakes to engage and that since the Super Cruise was engage the motors just added more power to over-come the drag on the brakes until they over heated.
