I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 70 mph, at about 5:15 pm. I was not using cruise control. There was no one in front of me for maybe a quarter mile. Suddenly and without warning, the car slammed on the brakes. A yellow alert came up on the dash telling me the Forward Collision system had been activated. The red warning lights at the front of the dashboard (the heads-up display) also flashed. The road was dry, I was on an entirely straight section of road, and there were no shadows. Besides scaring me half to death, if someone had been immediately behind me, they could easily have slammed into me. The car has not been inspected by the dealer, etc. I believe OnStar should have a record of it happening, but I have not contacted them.

On November 26, 2025, while traveling in stop-and-go freeway traffic, I experienced a severe braking failure that led to a rear-end collision. Despite applying maximum force to the brake pedal, the vehicle did not decelerate as expected. Objective technical evidence from the Bosch CDR report (Case #1105768) confirms a critical system failure: Extreme Driver Input: At -0.5 seconds before impact, Driver Applied Brake Pedal Pressure reached 10,935 kPa, representing a near-maximum emergency braking effort. Inadequate Response: Despite this peak pressure, the Vehicle Indicated Speed decreased only from 24 MPH to 22 MPH in the final 0.5-second interval. Data Discrepancy: The vehicle decelerated by 12 MPH (from 36 to 24 MPH) between -1.0s and -0.5s under lower pressure (7,695 kPa). However, when brake pressure was increased to its peak at -0.5s, deceleration effectively stalled. Electronic Anomaly: The Traction Control System (TCS) was reported as "Active" throughout the braking event, indicating potential...

I am submitting this follow-up to document new information and continuing concerns regarding my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq EV, which experienced sudden unintended acceleration during a parking maneuver. GM and its claims administrator (ESIS) have now completed their review and issued a denial letter on October 31 2025, stating “no defects were found.” However, the denial included no supporting technical findings, analysis, or data explaining how that conclusion was reached. Despite multiple written requests, GM has not provided the following key event-data modules: – Brake System Control Module (EBCM/iBooster) export (brake pressure, pedal position, brake override flags) – Propulsion/Drive Control Module data (torque request vs actual torque and accelerator input) – Front Camera Module metadata (timestamps and event record IDs) Additionally, several data discrepancies remain unresolved — including mismatched timestamps between the ASCM and FCM reports and camera images that do not correspond to the actual crash scene. On October 29...

THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE JUNE 2025. WE HAVE HAD THE DEALER DO THE RECALL, HAD OVER THE AIR UPDATES AND IT STILL CAUSES ALL THE ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM SCREEN TO GO BLACK AND DISABLES THEM. DEALER MSYATES ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

On September 9, 2025, while slowly turning into a parking space at approximately 7 mph, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration. There were no warnings, alerts, or Safety Alert Seat vibrations prior to the surge. The vehicle rapidly accelerated forward, struck a parked car, went over a curb, hit a tree, and finally came to rest after colliding with the side of a building. GM has since taken possession of the vehicle for forensic analysis.

on Sept 23, 2025, I was rear ended by a driver going between 50-60 mph. I am concerned that some safety features were potentially not working at the time of the incident. I will detail the information below: Background / Original Service Issue: When I initially brought my vehicle to Titus-Will Chevrolet GMC Cadillac for service, I observed that multiple critical safety systems were nonfunctional, including, but not limited to: Forward collision alert sensor All cameras (rear, front, top down) Blind zone steering assist Lane departure warning and other associated warning sensors The dealership kept my car for two days and then informed me that a "module" needed to be ordered for repair, but stated that the vehicle was considered “drivable” and would call me when the part came in. I noticed some of the safety features had resumed working, however some were still non-functional. At no point was I...

I pulled my vehicle in my garage and was lightly tapping the accelerator to get the vehicle far enough in to avoid it interfering with the garage door. I had one-pedal driving engaged so I was not using my brake pedal. Once positioned I was getting ready to put it in park and the vehicle rapidly accelerated as if someone was stomping on the accelerator. It slammed into a refrigerator I have in the garage, pushing it about 2 inches into the wall, breaking through the drywall. The impact was so hard the refrigerator door also popped open and stuff went flying out. I had to slam on my brakes to get it to stop moving forward even though my foot was not on the accelerator.

Continuing problem with both front and rear emergency braking. Primarily when it is raining and vehicle is put in reverse violent and unexpected emergency braking will occur for no apparent reason. This will happen several times. Also, when backing out of driveway on a slant, rear emergency braking seems to sense the street and brakes are applied violently. This situation has also happened going into driveway on a slant for front emergency braking. Have informed the dealer several times of this problem and they say that Cadillac has not fix. Very distressing and dangerous for whip lash of adults and children.

Driving my car on the highway at speeds of about 65, and the charging port door suddenly opens. When I slow down then the door closes on it own. Seems like the housing for the door isnt made tight enough to stay closed during highway driving.

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 automatic collision system braking is engaging when the vehicle is in reverse and while it is raining. This occurs multiple times while trying to back the vehicle up during rain. This is dangerous for the passengers since they are abruptly thrown backwards without warning. The vehicle must be placed in "park" and then "reverse" multiple times until the collision braking stops malfunctioning.

Within two month the Lithium ion battery failed twice. and the car was not derivable. It had to bet towed to the dealer.
#11567137 |
While driving the 12V battery system failed as well as the high voltage charging system. The vehicle lost traction control in the rain and was slipping on the road. The forward collision detection also intermittently goes out. If you are in one pedal driving mode and using adaptive cruise control when the forward collision detection goes out it will deactivate adaptive cruise control and apply enough regenerative breaking to rapidly slow the car. If the driver does not have their foot on the accelerator when this happens and you are in traffic it could cause an accident. The vehicle is not saving any diagnostic information regarding these failures and dealerships will not work the failures without diagnostic codes.

The car has 7300 Miles on it and it has an electrical Battery error that it can not start Also multiple soft ware errors the screen turns off while driving and assist control errors
#11546229 |
Driver assist forward continues to have issues after being at dealer for issue for 4 weeks for repair After getting car back from dealer for the first three days the error did not come up. Now the error comes and goes daily. Issue happens when approaching stop lights stop signs where there is nothing in front of you starts vibrating seat and slams on breaks. Same stop sign as yesterday but today it vibrates warnings Makes not sense.
