2020 CADILLAC XT6 Engine Problems

Vehicle has a known condition with many same year make and model that could cause the engine coolant thermostat to open at a lower temperature than intended. This condition has occurred. As a result the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Light) illuminates and a diagnostic trouble code is set and “steering assistance reduced” appear. The engine cooling fans also run after the engine is switched off. A recent bulletin has been posted to the 2021 Cadillac XT6 but is present in our 2020 as well. Upon calling the dealer our VIN was not on said recall/bulletin.

The Radiator is not functioning, confirmed by a mechanic at a dealership. An engine light did appear to notify me of the problem, however the car has been kept in great condition without accident or cause for the radiator to stop functioning in such a young vehicle.

The contact owns a 2020 Cadillac XT6. The contact stated while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was restarted from the Cadillac App via phone. The contact stated that during the second failure " The steering assist is reduced drive with care" warning message and the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated she called On-Star where she was informed the tire pressure, the engine, and the transmission needed attention. The vehicle was towed to a dealer by AAA where it was diagnosed the camshaft solenoid was faulty, with a present poil leak, along with codes P0014 and P0017. As a result, the parts of the engine and battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered the contact a check to purchase a new vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 159,838.

2020 CADILLAC XT6 WITH ALL OPTIONS AND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 400 MILES, FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR HASH MARKS THAT SHOW THE LEVEL OF FUEL ON THE FUEL GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING UPON ENGINE STARTUP. DEALER HAS ALREADY CHECKED COMPUTER CODES AND FOUND NO ERROR CODES. DEALER STATES THEY HAVE RESET COMPUTERS SEVERAL TIMES TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. DANGEROUS DRIVING WITHOUT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS REALLY IN THE FUEL TANK.
