Example complaints
Electrical system: “My 2025 Cadillac LYRIQ has approximately 12,000 miles. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has unexpectedly applied the brakes and come to a sudden, forceful stop even though there was no visible vehicle, pedestrian, or obstacle requiring emergency braking. During the most recent incident, the abrupt stop caused my body to move forcefully and I developed neck pain. This creates a serious risk of injury, loss of control, or being struck from behind. …”
NHTSA complaint #11768447, filed 2026-10Forward collision avoidance: “I was driving on the freeway and was between two cars. The car on my right was trying to merge into me. I immediately was breaking while trying to control steering. I attempted to honk three times and my honk horn would not work. In a case of an emergency, that is absolutely unacceptable a car like this should be able to honk.”
NHTSA complaint #11757615, filed 2026-08Brakes: “I was in a public parking lot and slowly approached a parking space in front of a store. When I applied the brakes to stop in the space, the car did not respond, it continued to drive forward, up the curb, crashed through the store front, and eventually came to rest mid-way in the store, amidst the furniture and store structure.”
NHTSA complaint #11715882, filed 2026-02Other or unknown: “I am writing to report a series of alarming incidents involving my 2025 Cadillac, purchased on December 2, 2024. Within three months of ownership, I have experienced three separate occurrences that have caused me significant concern and physical distress. 1 Approximately two weeks after purchasing the vehicle, I was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, I pressed the Pedal. Within three- 4 seconds, I felt a sudden impact from the rear, as if I had been rear-ended. …”
