Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While driving on the highway at approximately 65-70 mph the Automatic Emergency Braking system engaged for no apparent reason, no vehicles were around or near our vehicle. The sudden and unexpected braking could have cause a major accident resulting in serious injuries or worst had our vehicle been rear ended.”

NHTSA complaint #11723268, filed 2026-03

“Automatic emergency braking activated on three separate occasions when there weren’t any reasons for it to engage, additionally if there were any cars behind me I would have been rear ended since they would not have anticipated me stopping so suddenly.”

NHTSA complaint #11748185, filed 2026-07

“I was driving with my husband and daughter, when all of a sudden, the vehicle braked out of nowhere (twice) with no one in front of us and the Emergency brake notification flashed on the windshield. Thankfully no one was directly behind us or else my daughter, who was in the back seat, could have been seriously injured. We had the vehicle towed to the dealership and they said this was not common but in fact it is. This vehicle is not safe to drive.”

NHTSA complaint #11648769, filed 2025-03

“The car unexpectedly braked. There was nothing in front of the car & I was traveling only 20m/hr. The car stopped so abruptly my sunglasses flew off. Then i was hit from behind by a landscaping truck.”

NHTSA complaint #11773560, filed 2026-10

“While backing up I had situations where the automatic brakes would engage although there was no obstruction behind the car. To stop this from happening, I had to turn this feature off. I brought the car in for service (Ed Morse Cadillac in Delray Beach, Florida) and was given a Cadillac Service Bulletin that acknowledged this was a problem with 2023-2025 cadillacs and there was no fix for this problem. They suggest that I do what I had done- turn it off. I feel this is not an adequate response. …”
