2017 Cadillac XT5 Vehicle speed control Problems

“While driving on city street, when accelerator hits the floor, the pedal will stick, continually accelerating. There is no way to unstick this as the vehicle continues to increase speed. I was able to use the brakes, even though the pedal was to the floor; I stepped on the pedal thinking it may release it and eventually it did. This has happened twice in the last week. Very scary.”

“I was traveling on I-95 at aprrox. 75/80 MPH when my dashboard lit-up like a christmas tree and my Cadillac powered down to less than 50 MPH instantly. The stabilitrak, check engine light, parking brake and car assist lights came on with a warning to travel with care . I had to maneuver my vehicle over three lanes to get off at the nearest exit. I had no idea what just happened. There was no noise, smoke or evidence that the vehicle had a problem. However, I could only drive the car 55 MPH with the foot pedal pressed to the floor board. It was 4:00 am and I was an hour from home. …”

“While driving 30mph on city street engine made loud roaring noise and dramatically slowed itself down to almost a stop as if I slammed on brakes. I had vehicle(1715 mileage) towed to dealership. They kept it 2 days and told me nothing was wrong. I picked up car and while driving home the engine made loud noise and dramatically slowed down once again. The next day I took my car to another dealership hoping they could repair vehicle. They kept car for 14 days and told me they could not duplicate concern and did not repair. So I picked up car hoping it would not happen again. …”

“To recall department, I purchased the above car in Jan 2021 since that time I had to take this car in for repairs 3 times concerning steering brake problem and reducing speed and also the thermostat problem. In reviewing this the consumer reports I found out that this was one of the worst years of making the xt5 and a recall was done for 2017 but for the cars that was manufactory in 2016. if a car get on the dealers floor in 2017 most likely it was manufactured in 2016. …”

“While driving the vehicle started to accelerate in its own. There was nothing obstructing the pedal. I could press down on brake with some resistance, but as soon as brake was released the, the vehicle accelerated. The vehicle did not level out with speed but continued to accelerate over 80 mph. This lasted about 8/9 mins, being controlled by riding on the break. It did it again for about 2/3 mins about 15 mins after first occurance. I took the car straight to get it looked at and the mechanic said that they could not find anything wrong with car”
