“Brand new off dealer lot needed new battery. From that point forward the vehicle's electronics constantly malfunctioned. The dealer tried everything including working with Cadillac for new parts and suggestions to make the electrical system function normally. After three weeks of work, it still malfunctions and is dangerous to drive.”

“2020 Cadillac XT6 with all options and new vehicle with less than 400 miles, fuel gauge indicator hash marks that show the level of fuel on the fuel gauge intermittently stop working upon engine startup. Dealer has already checked computer codes and found no error codes. Dealer states they have reset computers several times to correct this issue.

“All cameras stopped working. When car is put into reverse the screen goes black with a red triangle (warning) and a red camera with a circle and slash through it (no camera). Service department indicated that there is a service bulletin (pic6420a), but parts are not yet available. They said there were several intermediate fixes that didn't work and now GM is supposed to be releasing new coaxial cables to finally fix the issue. So in the meantime no cameras....”

“The fuel gauge is intermittently not showing the level of fuel in the fuel tank. Had to drive to the dealership when this occurred to have the technicians read the codes on the computer. If you shut the car off, the fuel gauge resets and the technicians are unable to find the error code. The dealership service department will have to order a new dashboard instrument cluster panel. The car only has 1,948 miles. This car has serious electrical issues.”
