Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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 2026-10“OnStar system on the vehicle is busted. Because of this the accident detection no longer works and the GPS is stuck in no mans land which makes it impossible to use their app to figure out charging percentage, how far and route to take to the nearest charging station.”
NHTSA complaint #11732073, filed 2026-04“Telematics module failed and the vehicle couldn’t connect to emergency OnStar services if involved in crash. GPS also doesn’t work with a faulty module. No cellular or WiFi connectivity. Car reroutes to somewhere without this module working. I’m paying for the OnStar subscription but with a faulty module it can’t connect. GM says part back ordered with no ETA. Thousands of people are reporting the same problem and it should be a recall at this point.”
NHTSA complaint #11711777, filed 2026-01“Stopped at the West Bound Thruway Seneca service area. After returning to the vehicle, multiple error messages were displayed on screen. Have Power Steering Serviced, Service Stabilitrak, Service Headlamps, AWD Tempoarily Unavailable Steering was the main issue. It was almost impossible to turn and steer. It was fortunate that it was after a stop and not while driving. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but it has yet to be determined why the steering failed.”
NHTSA complaint #11743028, filed 2026-06“The infotainment screen automatically adjusts its brightness based on readings from the ambient light sensor. However, during dusk and dawn, while conditions still appear relatively bright to the human eye, the sensor interprets the light levels as low and significantly dims the screen. As a result, the display can become so dark that it is nearly unreadable. This issue occurs even when the brightness control wheel is set to its maximum setting. The light sensor overrides the manual brightness adjustment, and the control wheel can only further reduce the brightness, not increase it. …”
