Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The adaptive cruise control radar sensor was found crack after being taken to the dealership for error code. ( their was no physical damage to the front bumper or the bottom of the bumper of the vehicle. Gm failed to replace the part under warranty because they say there is physical damage to the part needed to be replaced. I believe the part should be in location where road debris can hit the part. Service advisor has said this is known issue with this Cadillac model.”
