1GYKNFRS0HZ2181492017 CADILLAC XT5Platinum

I had to replace the thermostat which is a well known, documented defect/issue for this vehicle/Cadillac. I would like reimbursement from Cadillac.

While driving down the freeway at approx. 65 miles per hour, I heard a very loud sound like an explosion, or a huge balloon exploding, and then heard crackling of glass. It was very scary and dangerous. I had to slow down immediately, and was able to get off the freeway. I pulled into a gas station, and tried to figure out where it came from. I realized that my sunroof was either hit with something or just simply exploded. There was a hole in the center, and the glass was cracked throughout the front sunroof. I could hear the glass pieces moving around on the sunroof shade that was thankfully closed. I bought duct tape and covered the hole and all of the cracks so I could drive it home. I took side streets and drove slowly home.

I purchased this used car in the end of July 2025. Within the last month the service transmission light came on. Within a 24-hour period, the message changed to, "service transmission unable to shift Soon". Also alarm bells go off when I first start the car and sometimes during driving. The car feels like it drives correctly and smoothly with no shifting issues. Sometimes when that second message and check engine light icon being comes on, there seems to be a third message that is trying to pop up behind it but it does not. It seems like there is a glitch in the system. This was very concerning and scary for me. My research shows me that this has been a chronic problem for my make and model and year of car. I've also heard it can be even time to check and or change the transmission fluid. That needs to be a different message all together without causing alarm that the transmission itself is not functioning properly. I have not driven this for 10 days because many repair shops in dealerships are telling me not to risk it and of course want me to bring this in for a diagnosis. It is costly and hard to discern and trust who to go to for the correct information. The dealership should be responsible for a recall and replacing this sensor or modular so people do not have a cause for alarm if it is something as simple as needing to change the transmission fluid. There is also no dipstick on this vehicle so no local fluid fill station can check this. Many people have complained and are at a loss. I see there is a bulletin on this subject but no recall. Please take action and turn this situation into a recall once and for all to help. The little folks like me stay more safe and better informed about the health and longevity of our vehicles. Thank you for your time in reading this.

I have a 2017 Cadillac xt5 which the transmission is kicking and has a shattering issue car was just over the warranty and was told I have to pay for a replacement car had 70k miles and was told from a mechanic that there was a recall on these cars when I checked my vin the car is not under recall but is presenting the same issue as the ones under recall.. I took it to amoco replace fluid and car still has issue. Iam trying to see my options on how to go about it..

9/17/25 I purchased 2017 Cadillac Xt5 platinum from a dealership. It came with a dash mat which was concealing cosmetic damage to vinyl around air bag on passenger side, and was unglued throughout entire dashboard. I didn't have a vehicle inspection before buying car, nothing reported on Carfax. And I asked dealership why they used Velcro and dashmat to conceal damage. No response.

Catalytic Converter on my 2017 XT5 had weld crack Oct 2025. Causing loud noise and exhaust to enter cabin of vehicle. This was the second convertor to do this. In 2023 I had to have the other catalytic convertor on this same vehicle changed out by the Sewell Cadillac dealership for the same problem. That time I only had 50,000 miles on the car so the dealership did it for free (after I found that they had to cover up to 80,000 and they acted like they didn't know that and had quoted me $2000). This time in 2025 I had 80,805 miles so I had to pay $1010 to have it replaced by an outside repair shop. The technician says since we had to have them both replaced and the car is only 8 years old, it is probably a design flaw. He told me to report it. I see another complaint for the same thing and I see they did a recall on some from California vehicles for something with the catalytic convertor and a recall on some in 2022 and 2023 vehicles for an issue with the catalytic convertor. I expected better from GM and Cadillac. I wonder how many other Cadillac XT5 owners have had this problem but haven't known to report it. You should contact the Cadillac dealerships and see how many they have changed out.

Check engine code p0128. driver assistance, air conditioning and steering affect.

An issue is pipe cracking at the left catalytic converter mounting flange weld, causing exhaust noise, odor, and potential emission system failure. It just cost $2013.00 to have fixed.

There is an open service bulletin on my car - 17128 Potential Loss of HVAC Control. This loss of control affects the defrost on the vehicle making it very dangerous to drive when it is raining out as it severally reduces visibility.

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal clicking sound coming from underneath the vehicle while accelerating or decelerating. There were no warning lights illuminated. While having the tires replaced, the contact was informed that the rear toe links were loose. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer two years prior for a toe link replacement, but the failure occurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

Steering reduced assist drive with care on the dash board . It states drive with caution not sure if this is dangerous or even driveable I am 8 months pregnant and now I don’t have a car I am scared to drive it. Thermostat stopped working & fan is running and won’t stop

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The contact stated that the power steering assist message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the power steering assist had failed. The contact was informed that the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 78,146.

The power assist steering goes out and you have to manually try to steer the car the part that has to be replaced is the power assist steering module which is located in the steering assembly I have found this to be a problem with Cadillac XT5 models from 2017 through 2019 also in a Chevrolet SUV MODEL of the same years an internal memo was sent out but not notified owners

I keep getting Steering assistance is reduced Drive with care” message. I got it scanned a couple of times through mechanic shop, code comes up with a thermostat cooling issue. I have paid 2 shops to run a cooling pressure test and all come up negative. How can a steering issue error lead to a cooling issue. Took it to the dealership, probably wiped the error, stopped for a month before came back. Love the vehicle but this is pissing me off.

In 2021, I took my car into a GM facility to be repaired bc the A/C kept going in and out. Car was under warranty, however, GM mechanic just did a “bandaid” fix and replaced the thermostat, when there was a service bulletin put out in 2017 for this very issue. 3 years later, my car is having the exact same problem, and since car isn’t under warranty, GM will not fix it, even though I have proof they didn’t fix it correctly the first time. The service bulletin is titled, “17128: Service Update - Potential Loss of HVAC Control- (March 30, 2017) This issue started in October 2021 the first time, was temporarily fixed. It started again in October 2024 and is ongoing.

While driving my vehicle, alert popped up on my dash stating "Steering Assist is Reduced Drive with Care" futhermore after that my Check Engine Light Turned on and my Engine Heater Stayed cold and would not warm up. Vehicle has been inspected by the Cadillac Dealer and they stated it is all due to the Sensor. However Sensor is on backorder and has taken them 3 week to get the part. They stated it is safe to drive even though all those alerts came up, since he said it appears to be stuck open, however they stated if it gets stuck in a closed state then the engine could overhead which would require having the vehicle towed in. They offer a "limited" warranty on this however since I just was past the warranty period they state you have to pay the full price. Warranty is for 85,000 miles and I am barely above it at 87675.

The straps of the car seat loosen on their own, without holding down the button to loosen the harness. It’s unsafe to continue to use this seat as the straps will not stay tightened in the event of a car accident. The seat is available for inspection if needed. No the seat has not been inspected by any third party.

The straps on the seat loosen on their own when pulled, without pressing on the button to loosen them. This would be dangerous in the event of an accident because the straps could loosen and the child would not be secure. The car seat has always been installed in the car seat base (from the manufacturer). The car seat is available for inspection if needed. The car seat has not been inspected by a third party. I reached out to the company, Nuna, to let them know if the issue and they refused to inspect or replace the seat and the only solution they suggested was that I purchase a new seat.

The tire air pressure gage on the dash is steadily illuminated but there is nothing wrong w the air in the tire.

My 2017 XT5 has a joy stick issue that at times has trouble going into gear. Service transmission warning comes on then unable to shift soon and then check engine light. Cadillac replace the modular for the shifter in August 2024 now months later mid November they say the shifter has to be replaced approximately November 4 to November 18. The service Transmission warning comes on. And then unable to shift soon and check the engine light comes on. Short drives the check engine light goes off itself, unable to shift and check engine light was 1175.00 $ for the modular August 13 and now they say the shift has replaced cost of, approximately $700. So now they’re doing double labor to replace the shifter. My replacing the shifter it will send signals not to have the check engine light come on. Has this ever been a problem reported in the past.

First it was adaptive shifting three days after having it, then it was the thermostat, now it’s needing a new right rear hub assembly but my main concern is the shuttering when I am accelerating. The ride is not smooth. there is a chatter happening when I drive it. It makes me very nervous. I have went to one mechanic to diagnose so far and he said to have the transmission flushed first but it may need the torque converter replaced.

“Steering assistance is reduced Drive with care” message while driving. Engine light appeared

i was involved in a front end collision with a car that pulled out in front of me without looking. I ended up T-boning the car at approx. 20-25 MPH. Both myself and my wife were wearing our seat belts. Mine held but the passenger one held only the lap belt part. The shoulder part of the SB allowed her face to go crashing into the dashboard. She ended up with abdominal injuries and head trauma. I took it to the dealer and they say the seat belt will need to be replaced as it is defective. (You think). I can pull on the shoulder strap rapidly and it will not 'catch'.

This model Cadillac XT5 has early failures of engine cooling systems thermostats. The thermostat sticks open causing lower engine temperatures and higher emissions. The first sign you have an issue is a reduced power steering assist message on the instrument display. The engine control module stores a p0128 code as current. Continue driving the vehicle the ECM will shut off AC compressor engagement, so no AC. The next thing that happens is you lose temperature gauge. So you are now driving vehicle with reduced power steering assist, no AC and no way of knowing if the engine is overheating. This is a known issue with the refer to GM bulletin # 17-NA-158 posted May 2017. There has been a such a demand for this thermostat, that parts back orders are common. The volume of failures should be addressed as a recall including refunds to owners who have had to pay for this repair. The fact that a colder running engine typically runs richer based on ECM programming, causes higher emissions. GM hasn’t been helping people with this repair for out of warranty vehicles. Our 2017 XT5 failed at 38,000 miles. Cadillac only offered to pay 30% of the repair leaving a balance of $585.00! This was all because GM’s failed part.

Our XT5 began getting 'Steering Assist Reduced' message about a year ago. It comes and goes , coming more often now. The problem is the thermostat and is a very common issue with numerous complaints here and on Cadillac forums (below). The problem is, when this issue occurs the AC stops working, and when that happens you have no windshield defrost, and that is a safety problem. Cadillac has TSB's describing this issue but refuses to cover it goodwill as we are slightly out of warranty. The repair is extensive, requiring 4.5 of time.

The thermostat has malfunctioned twice in 2 years. Driving vehicle and dash warning" STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE", also the temperature gauge was showing COLD and this was after driving for over 30 minutes. Contacted local dealer and was informed this is a KNOWN problem with the thermostat sticking open. My brakes are sticking often and my car often jumps hard when i put it in reverse.

My car has been in and out of the dealership since [XXX] All the lights come on ( check engine, ABS ,the message reads park assistance off all the lights The car goes crazy and stops running. This happened 3 times on the highway almost got rear ended. It is very scary I can not take this chance anymore. The dealership keeps changing one module after another and keeps telling me it is fixed. However it is not The car is in the dealership ship as of 10 days ago again. I will not pick it and drive it. Either me or someone else gets killed. I also opened a case with GM. However they just keep doing nothing. This matter needs to be addressed asap There is a serious problem, before someone gets killed. My name is [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Can someone please get involved or I will go on TV or the newspaper if I have to.

At approximately [XXX] on [XXX] ,2024 I was at the intersection of [XXX] when my vehicle stopped running completely. All lights on the dash went out and the doors were locked which prevented me from exiting the vehicle. No systems would operate at all. All I could do was sit there. Fortunately, I had a cell phone with me. I called my local Cadillac Dealer for advice, they had very little. finally a lady there told me she would call a tow company they recommended, which she did and the tow company, Shawnee Auto Body did respond about 20-30 minutes later. In the meantime, a gentleman from a local tree company arrived on the scene and helped me, by placing an orange traffic cone behind the vehicle to keep oncoming vehicles from rearending me. after a few minutes the doors did finally allow me to exit the vehicle, which I was unable to do earlier due to the doors still being locked. Upon exiting the vehicle we raised the hood and discovered the negative battery cable was loose causing all power to vehicle systems to be lost. was the cause of the problem. The replacement Intrstate Brand Battery that i have in the vehicle negative post is smaller than the automobile cable that comes on the car and apparently when the man installed the replacement battery he failed to notify me he was unable to tighten the cable as it should have been which allowed it to become loose and vibrate off the post over a period of time. This is a major problem that needs immediate attention. What if the vehicle would have been on fire or something? I would have been trapped in the vehicle and unable to escape due to the doors remaining locked when power was lost.

ECM- engine system. Diagnostic code P26C8. Chassis Control Module Requested Malfunction Indicator Lamp Illumination. The DTC is an informational DTC. The DTC indicates an emission related DTC set in the Chassis Control Module. My service transmission message came on and would not let me go into reverse or drive. The next day the check engine light was on. This vehicle is only 34,650 miles and is a 2017. I bought it on Saturday and this happened on Wednesday!

My car is it lifts up and down it goes up and down and it looks like it changes in model like it gets wider or something but underneath my feet when I'm driving there's something that feels like it's coming out towards my feet like an air and it blows and it burns it's even shocked me a few times and when I push the gas pedal and makes my foot hurt like this stinging really bad and underneath the steering wheel it looks like something either got pulled out or something's trying to get in I'm really scared and I need someone to look at my car my dad he makes up excuses and stuff it kind of feels like it's not the car that I purchased like it's been switched

The thermostat is malfunctioning. Vehicle has less than 50,000 miles. Driving vehicle and dash warning" STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE", also the temperature gauge was showing COLD and this was after driving for over 30 minutes. Contacted local dealer and was informed this is a KNOWN problem with the thermostat sticking open. If this had been in the summer the A/C would not have worked. I was informed I could bring in the vehicle to have the codes cleared and the parts would have to be ordered. Due to backlog of parts, it was unknown when the parts would be available. In searching internet there are a significant number of owners who have experienced the same issue. In consulting the mechanic, I use, I was informed this is an issue with the motor in my vehicle. The same motor is in other GMC products, and he has 3 vehicles in his shop with the same issue waiting parts.

Message Displayed on 2017 Cadillac XT-5 "Steering Assist is Reduced - Drive With Care". No check engine light, and no apparent loss of steering. Noted that Temperature Gauge and Air Conditioning ceased to work. Suspiciously, a 2019 Cadillac XT-5 that I also own, the identical displayed message came on, with identical same mechanical issue, and just learned that an acquaintance with a newer Chevy Blazer just experienced the identical issue also. All vehicles are equipped with OnStar. Coincidence, OR any possibility that GM or OnStar computers have been hacked into, as OnStar has ability to control various functions of vehicles. To correct the issue (possibly only temporary) was to remove the negative battery cable for a short time, and reattach.

Message Powersteering Assist is reduced. This could cause steering problems and a potential collision. Cause is due to failure of thermostat design and insta llation. Believe an investigation is possibly warranted. GM issued a service bulletin making dealers aware of the faulty design in May 2017. But consumers were not advised of the danger.

Thermostat gets stuck, gives a steering wheel assist alert. Ac not working and motor sounds like it is in overdrive. Engine temp stays cold.

Vehicle completely shut off while crossing over a four lane highway to enter a shopping center. Safety could have been highly at risk to both passenger, on coming traffic side, and driver. Luckily the cars coming were far enough back that they were able to stop. I took my vehicle to the dealership where I bought the car brand new in 2018. They test drove the vehicle while hooked to a computer but could not find a problem. They tightened all connections to battery and other components and did updates to the computer on the vehicle. There was no warnings whatsoever that the vehicle was about to completely shut off. Previous to this incident I had been driving on 95S from Warrenton Vs to Clayton NC. I don't even like to think of what would have happened on 95 if my vehicle would have completely shut down. I am sure I probably would not be writing this report. Looking on the web this has happened to others with this same year and model of Cadillac.

When you put the car in park, reverse, drive it jumps forward or back.

When you put the car in gear it jumps. now leaking transmission fluid, and transmission needs to be replaced. This has been ongoing and I explained this numerous times in the past 4 years.

THE 2017 CADILLAC XT5 HAS A DEFECTIVE THERMOSTAT, WHICH SENDS A FALSE SIGNAL THAT THE ENGINE IS OVERHEATING. THEREFORE, YOU GET A "STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE", WHICH YOUR STEERING TO BE HARD AND NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS IT SHOULD BE. GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT FAILED TO REMEDY IT, BUT ISSUED A BULLETIN #17-NA-158 IN MAY OF 2017. THIS PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS ON "BACK ORDER" EVERYWHERE.

While driving my Cadillac XT5 on the busy highway during the early afternoon, without warning the sunroof glass made a loud pop sound immediately followed by shattered glass. Glass fell all over the driver’s head and body impairing my vision and causing me to make sudden stop on the shoulder of the highway. There is problem with the sunroof breaking and shattering glass while driving. Insurance claim filed and private auto glass dealer made repairs in excess of $1300. Shards of glass still remain in the sunroof screen closure until taken to auto detailed for removal at an additional cost to me, the registered owner. I dive in fear that this may occur again without warning which could pose extreme danger or accident.

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

Since 6/2022 and again 7/2022, 10/25/22 1/31/23 Constantly stating service error codes for stabiltrak, antilock brakes, and brake assist not functioning and need service urgently. However when I take it to the dealership they find nothing wrong and further investigated at another Cadillac dealership they also state they found nothing. These errors continue to pop up intermittently and my Cadillac app reports them as needing service.

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle overheated and stalled. The power steering assist was reduced with the drive with care message displayed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact about the thermostat failure, engine, and DTC: P0128. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage 43,806.

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated while driving 60-65 MPH with her granddaughter seated in the rear seat, the vehicle shut off inadvertently in the middle of the road. The message battery low was displayed. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed from the middle of the road to the side of the road. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed that the electrical system had failed. An unknown repair was completed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

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. so I want to know why my car hasn't been notify for a recall and I'm having to take this car to the shop on three or four occasions for the same problem. I would like to somebody to look into this situation and reimburse me for my out of pocket expensive. This should be a manufactory problem and GM should be doing the repairs for free. Please feel free to contact me for any additional questions or concerns. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate upon depression of the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure mostly occurred while in 4th gear or after a complete stop. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer but the dealer has been unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer advised the contact that they had never heard of such failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated that the rear passenger's side brake line was fractured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear passenger's side brake line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

The vehicle's park brake system failed to actuate resulting in unsafe parking of vehicle on hills/slopes. The service park brake light activated on the dash. Vehicle was taken to dealership to investigate. They confirmed park brake system was not working. This vehicle has electronic actuators for the park brake function on each rear wheel. The dealership did not find any defective components but determined the vehicle software was the root cause. The software was reset and the system now performs as intended. I am very concerned that a software failure associated with a key parking brake safety system can occur with no known cause.

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated while driving approximately 5 MPH, the engine made a grinding sound, and the vehicle accelerated while the foot was on the brake pedal. The contact did not recall any warning lights on the instrument panel. The contact also had an incident where he accidentally ran into the garage, and the air bags did not deploy; however, the front passenger side of the vehicle was damaged. The contact did not recall any warning lights on the instrument panel. The local dealer did not diagnose any failure; however, the vehicle was repaired. No injuries and medical reports were necessary. The contact stated the vehicle does not have an emergency brake. The dealer did not diagnose any failure with the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000

engine light comes on, brake assist service light comes on when transmission idles down at stop signs, stabilitrak service light comes on after transmission idles down after a stop. This has happened twice and I had to get it repaired.

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle the gear shifter would not shift out of the park position. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission control module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 19,000

Body Issue- Left and Right Front Doors of Vehicle air popping and Grinding when opened. No Damage or Accidents have occurred to the Vehicle for this Function to have a Error.

XT5 bumper-to-bumper warranty expired on 6-1-21. Both key fobs suddenly quit working on 7-17-21. Took to dealer 7-21-21. Cost me $300. Got it back on 7-26-21. Drove vehicle for the first time after getting it back on 7-28-21. Key fob quit working again briefly then started after I kept trying for a few minutes. After driving for 5 miles, the car completely died on very busy road - no steering, no dash lights, break lights - then the car suddenly braked really hard and i almost got rear-ended. 4-way flashers wouldn't work so I had no way to warn other drivers coming up behind me. I also was a sitting duck as I couldn't exit the vehicle since the doors wouldn't unlock and windows wouldn't go down. The temperature was in the 80s and I quickly began to overheat. I tried to signal other drivers who were beeping their horns and swerving around me until several pulled over to help. After approx. 10-15 minutes, as I was calling 911, the doors unlocked and I got the 4-ways to come on though they were working erratically. I called the dealership and they came and picked up the car. They've had it for a week and don't know what's wrong with it. This is a potentially deadly safety issue; I could have died or caused someone else to be injured or die due to the car suddenly losing ALL power while driving in heavy traffic with no warning, then braking hard and very unexpectedly, along with the inability to warn other drivers due to the inoperable 4-ways I also could have succumbed to hyperthermia as there was no way to escape from an extremely hot car. It appears that after doing some basic research, that this is not an isolated problem with the 2013-2017 XT5s. There are numerous reports of incidents similar or identical to mine found on various Cadillac owners online forums. Additionally, a common complaint is that this problem has not yet been solved yet by General Motors and their dealerships are at a loss to resolve this issue (they haven't been able to fix mine yet!)

Wheel Bearings

I BOUGHT THIS CADILLAC 2017 XT-5 USED WITH 4,000 ON IT IT HAS 11,000 ON IT KNOW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR TIRE ROTATION & OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THESE TIRES MICHELIN PREMIER LTX 235/65 R 18 TIRES ON THIS YEAR 2017 ARE BAD TIRES. THE TREAD ON THE TIRE WAS MEASURED . 5/32NDS AT 11,000 MILES THESE TIRES ARE WARRANTYED TO 40,000 MILES. THEY SAY YOU SHOULD REPLACE YOUR TIRES IF THE TREAD TREAD IS 4/32NDS OR LESS! I THINK THAT WILL HAPEN IN THE NEXT 5,000 WHEN I GO IN FOR MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. I THINK I SHOULD HAVE THESE TIRES REPLACED FOR NO CHARGE AT ALL. THE DEALER SAID WHEN I COME IN AT 16,000 MILES FOR MY OIL CHANGE HE SAID HE WILL REPLACE THE BAD TIRE WITH NEW ONES THAT COST $205. HE SAID HE'D PRO RATE THE TIRES & HE SAID THE WILL CHARGE ME $450 FOR THEM. IF THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTED , WHY SHOULD I PAY ANY MONEY TO REPLACE THEM, IF THEY MANUFACTURED THE TIRES WRONG ??? VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE TIRES. I HAVE BOUGHT MICHELIN TIRES FOR AT LEAST 4 VEHICLES , IN PAST YEAR'S,AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES!!

SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND CAR LOST ALL POWER. NO ABILITY TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS OR CALL FOR HELP OR ANYTHING. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED SINCE THERE WERE NO LIGHTS AT ALL ON THE CAR AND NO WAY TO TURN ON ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THANK GOODNESS THIS HAPPENED WHEN STOPPED AND NOT MOVING. I COULD NOT IMAGINE THE OUTCOME OF LOSING POWER AT SPEED WHEN EVERYTHING IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED.

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, FOR 5 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE BEGAN ALARMING ON THE FIRST DAY I DROVE IT (10/16/20). MONDAY, 10/19/20, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO "PARK" WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP DID A QUICK ASSESSMENT AND CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. MY IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS WERE "WHY DIDN'T THE BATTERY INDICATOR APPEAR?" AND "WHY WOULD A LOW BATTERY CAUSE THE SUV TO GO INTO PARK WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT?" HOWEVER, AS THEY WERE RETURNING THE SUV TO ME, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRIC CONTROL WAS REPLACED DUE TO "AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN SHIFTER" THAT WAS UNDETECTABLE. ON 12/21/20, THE SAME DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WATER OULET BECAUSE THEY FOUND A LEAK "COMING FROM BETWEEN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND WATER OUTLET PIPE". ON 3/14/20, AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE 175 MILES AT 75MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RESPONDING TO ME PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWED AND NO ALARMS SOUNDED. ADDITIONALLY, ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT WOULD NOT RESTART. ONSTAR RAN A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND NO CODES WERE FOUND. THE THERMOSTAT HAD A NORMAL READING. THE ONSTAR REPRESENTATIVE RECOMMENDED THAT I ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. I DROVE BACK HOME WHILE MAKING FREQUENT STOPS TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL OFF. ON 3/15/20, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON 3/22/20, THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS DURING THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION. THEY ALSO DID NOT TEST THE VEHICLE BY DRIVING IT EITHER. I WAS TOLD ME TO COME PICK UP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT KNOWING THE REASON THAT THE SUV CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE 2017 CADILLAC XT5 IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE.

FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A SERVICE TRANSMISSION SOON WARNING FROM OUR 2017 CADILLAC XT5 BUT EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT IN TO CADILLAC THEY STATE THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE WARNING. I HAVE PICTURES DOCUMENTING ALMOST EVERY TIME THE MESSAGE HAS COME UP EXCEPT FOR TWO TIME INCLUDING THE MOST RECENT AS I DIDN'T HAVE MY PHONE ON ME AT THE TIME. IT HAS BEEN TO CADILLAC 3 OR 4 TIMES FOR THIS. THE MOST RECENT TIME WE RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE THERE WAS A MESSAGE FOLLOWING THAT STATED YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT SOON WHILE ON THE XPRESSWAY AND WE WERE DRIVE 65 MPH WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET PICTURES THIS TIME AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I DIDN'T HAVE MY PHONE ON ME. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO CADILLAC AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE MESSAGE AND THEY RECEIVED NO CODE WARNINGS. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING STRANGE SOUND DURING GEAR SHIFTS AND THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS LIKE IT IS WORKING REALLY HARD AROUND THE TIMES WHENEVER WE RECEIVED THESE MESSAGES. THE CAR ALSO HANDLES VERY DIFFERENTLY AND DIFFICULTLY DURING THIS TIME. WE ARE HIGHLY CONCERNED AS THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

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.

STABILIZE WARNING KEEPS COMING ON AND SAYS TO SET PARKING BREAK AS WELL. READING ABOUT THIS, IT IS A VERY COMMON WARNING THAT CAUSES THE STABILITY SENSORS TO FAIL AND INCREASE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFTEY FEATURE ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS CREATES AN UNNECESSARY SAFTEY HAZARD THAT CADILLAC WILL NOT ADMIT TO OR FIX. THIS SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN SITTING STILL AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIES, GOES DEAD, UNCONTROLLABLE. VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO ENGINE START BUTTON. WILL NOT RESPOND TO ATTEMPTS TO RESTART, UNABLE TO BRAKE, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE, ROLLING INTO CROSS TRAFFIC. ALL ELECTRONICS DO NOT RESPOND, UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS TO GET OUT. CAN NOT UNLOCK DOORS ALL ELECTRONICS FLASHING, DOOR LOCKS RAPIDLY CYCLING LOCKED ALL ELECTRONICS UNCONTROLLABLE. UNABLE TO ACTIVATE HAZZARD LIGHTS. ONSTAR SYSTEM DEAD, UNABLE TO CALL FOR HELP. AFTER APPROX. 30 MIN. VEHICLE SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING RESTARTS ON IT'S OWN AND BEGINS TO FUNCTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER BUMPS IN THE ROADWAY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING SOUND DETECTED FROM THE FRONT END. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING AND GROWLING NOISE DETECTED FROM THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEATS. THE DRIVER'S SEAT APPEARED TO HAVE A HOLE. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO INTEGRITY CADILLAC (6025 INTERNATIONAL DR, CHATTANOOGA, TN 37421, (423) 954-7632) AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SEAT AND STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,500.

FRONT SECTION OF PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROX 55 MPH). IT WAS NOT STRUCK BY ROAD DEBRIS OR ANY FOREIGN OBJECT. THE CLOTH SHADE WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME SO NO GLASS ENTERED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

ON MARCH 23 WE TOOK OUR 2017 CADILLAC XT5 TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE BECAUSE 2 DAYS PRIOR, THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE WHILE IN A STATIONARY POSITION. WE WERE ABLE TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, BUT THE BRAKE RELEASED AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY HAD REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR AND STATED THAT IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY FOR US AND CONTINUED TO DO SO UNTIL THE MORNING OF APRIL 9TH. MY WIFE WAS JUST LEAVING WORK THAT MORNING AND STARTED DRIVING THE CAR HOME WHEN SHE APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE SLOWED OR STOPPED. SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GO THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO A PARKING STALL. IF SHE HAD MADE IT THROUGH THE LIGHT ON GREEN, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A GRAND TOTAL OF 108 ADDITIONAL MILES SINCE THE LAST SERVICE ON MARCH 23. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD IT FOR ALMOST A WEEK. THEY FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BEEN LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER WHICH CAUSED THE FAIL. THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER WERE BOTH REPLACED. AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AT THE SAME TIME MAY HAVE BEEN A SIGN THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAILING. *TR

THE SUNROOF EXPLODED UNDER NORMAL OPERATION IN MOTION ON A STATE ROAD. *BF CONSUMER STATED GM WOULD NOT REPLACE SUNROOF UNDER WARRANTY.*JB

THE CAR HAS STARTING ISSUES WHEN WE WERE BUYING THE CAR AT 16500 MILES FULL WARRANTY THE CAR HAD ISSUES STARTING BEFORE WE DID BUY IT WE WERE TOLD THE CAR WAS FIXED WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR FROM FLORIDA TO MICHIGAN ON OUR FIRST STOP THE CAR WOULD NOT START WE STARTED TO LOOK THRU THE MANUAL AND FOUND WRITTEN IN HANDWRITING A LIST OF STEPS TO FOLLOW ON GETTING THE CAR TO START WE DID THIS AND THE CAR DID START OF COURSE THIS WAS NOT THE END OF THE PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD THE CAR TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIP WITH NUMEROUS TRIES TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CADILLAC BUT WITH NO CURE FOR THIS PROBLEM HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR LEMON LAW STATUES THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT SHUT OFF YET AGAIN. AFTER THE SECOND RESTART, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT'S WIFE ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE USING THE PUSH START FEATURE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESFUL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S WIFE CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT AT AN UNKNOWN RATE OF SPEED. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES, DUE TO THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, TO HER MOUTH AND LEFT ARM. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HIS PROPERTY. IT WAS NOT YET DETERMINED IF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000.

SQUEAKY BRAKES. DEALER SAYS IT'S CONSIDERED AN ANNOYANCE. OCCURS EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN USE.

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. INSTEAD OF CONTACTING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME...TAKING PRECAUTIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP...WHO COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE SERVICING MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. AFTER THEY CHECKED OUT MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE (TAKING IT UP TO 80 MPH), I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. NO CODES WERE STORED IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I FIND THAT ODD. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT WHEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND A CAR MALFUNCTIONS THAT A CODE WOULD BE STORED. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH MY VEHICLE. I MAINLY DRIVE WITHIN MY SMALL TOWN...NOT HAVING TO EXCEED 45 MPH ON A DAILY BASIS. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE TO TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE FOR WORK 2-3 TIMES A MONTH. I AM VERY UNEASY ABOUT HAVING TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AGAIN. I WAS NOT GIVEN CONFIDENCE OR COMFORT FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS LEFT ME DISENCHANTED WITH THIS CADILLAC. I CAN'T GET OUT OF IT AND BUY OR TRADE-IN ON SOMETHING NEW AT THIS TIME. I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED BETTER SERVICE AND REASSURANCE. [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *PM

CAUSE UNKNOWN. WITH THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF AND VEHICLE STATIONARY IN A GARAGE, I LEANED INTO THE REAR COMPARTMENT TO RETRIEVE ARTICLES AND THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD. ONCE AGAIN L LEANED INTO THE REAR AND IT MOVED FORWARD. I THEN STARTED THE ENGINE, DID NOT PUT IT INTO GEAR, BUT SIMPLY TURNED IT OFF. I LEANED INTO THE REAR AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD.

I HAVE A 2017 CADILLAC XT5 WITH 22,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEALER HAD JUST INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRES INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE ARE WORN OUT AND MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE FIRST SNOWFALL. THE WARRANTY ON THESE TIRES IS 60,000 MILES, TIRE ROTATIONS WERE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE. A QUICK SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE AFFECTING THIS PARTICULAR GM VEHICLE. THIS PREMATURE FAILURE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO GET THIS RESOLVED.

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION NOISE THAT RESEMBLE GUNSHOT FOLLOWED BY HIGHWAY NOISE. THE CAR HAS A PANORAMIC SUNROOF THAT WAS CLOSED AT THAT TIME HOWEVER WE CAN HEAR SHREDS OF GLASS ABOVE THE CLOSED COVER. I SLOWED DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND WE GOT OUT AT THE FIRST EXIT. WE PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE AND CALLED 911. THERE WAS NO SIGN THAT ANY OBJECT HIT THE CAR; THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY.

A CLEAR FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM REAR OF CAR WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. I RECEIVED NUMEROUS MESSAGES THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER, HAD NOT BEEN SHIPPED FROM CHINA, HAS BEEN SHIIPED FROM CHINA, IN MICHIGAN, HAD NOT SHIPPED FROM MICHIGAN, ETC. DURING WEEK FOUR I WENT TO DEALER TO GET MORE DETAILS ABOUT LENGTHY PROCESS. I WAS TOLD THE CAR IS LEGALLY A LEMON AFTER PASSING THE 30 DAY POINT AND TO CONTACT GM TO BEGIN THE BUY BACK PROCESS. I CONTACTED GM NINE TIMES ATTEMPTING TO SPEAK TO A HUMAN. THE 10TH ATTEMPT LEAD ME TO "CHRISTINA". I WAS ADVISED TO FILE THE LEMON LAW COMPLAINT THROUGH NEVADA DUE TO VARYING STATE BY STATE LAWS, I WENT TO DEALER AGAIN LAST MONDAY & SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD US PART IS IN TX & DELAY WAS DUE TO COMPUTER PROBLEMS AT FACTORY. OPTIONS INCLUDE BUY BACK OR REPAIR. JULY 2, 2019 BEGINS WEEK SEVEN MY CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP. ALSO, THERE'S BEEN A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE WHEN MAKING A HARD TURN (INTO A PARKING SPACE.) TOOK TO SERVICE DEPT. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTING MECHANICALLY WRONG & HAD "OTHER CUSTOMERS' CARS" REQUIRING SERVICING. TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN A WEEK LATER. A MECHANIC AND I DROVE CAR OUT OF PARKING LOT MAKING LEFT TURN KNOCK KNOCK SOUND HAPPENS. ANOTHER LEFT TURIN INTO PARKING LOT AND KNOCK KNOCK AGAIN TAKING ALL OF TWO MINUTES. HE KNOWS WHAT THE SOUND IS AND WILL PUT REPAIR ORDER IN TO FIX CAR. WHEN I TOOK CAR IN 5/21/19 I ADVISED THEM THE KNOCKING SOUND HAD RETURNED AND WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE NOW WHEN A HARD TURN IS MADE.

THE VEHICLE IS USING ABOUT ONE HALF QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH OIL CHANGE, THE ENGINE ADD OIL LIGHT COMES ON. DEALER HAS SO FAR SAID THIS IS "NORMAL".

THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 37000 MILES AND THE FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES ARE DOWN TO 2/32 OF TREAD. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED EVERY 5000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE INTO PARK. ALSO, THE SERVICE ENGINE, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, AND ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK; HOWEVER, IT UNINTENTIONALLY WENT BACK INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PLAZA CADILLAC (8893 US-441, LEESBURG, FL 34788, (352) 787-1323) WHERE THE CHASSIS CONTROL, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, AND RANGE CONTROL MODULES WERE REPROGRAMMED. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN PLACING THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PARK. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ROLLING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS RESTARTED AND FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT OTHER VEHICLES WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS (INTELEBEAMS) WERE DESIGNED TO AUTOMATICALLY ILLUMINATE WHEN APPROACHING A VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS WERE SUPPOSED TO DEACTIVATE WHEN APPROACHING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTELEBEAMS WERE NOT OPERATING CONSISTENTLY. THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND ON WITHOUT ANY EFFORT FROM THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START SOMETIMES DUE TO A DRAINED BATTERY. THE INTELEBEAMS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO BE MANUALLY TURNED ON AND OFF, BUT THEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF A POSSIBLE CRASH OR ROAD RAGE INCIDENT IF THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AMERICAN CHEVROLET CADILLAC MUNCIE (6580 W HOMETOWN BLVD, MUNCIE, IN 47304, (765) 212-3294) AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE ANYMORE. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEMON LAW LAWSUIT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. *TT*JB

PREMATURE TIRE WEAR- VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PREMIER LTX TIRES & HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 24,551 MILES DUE TO TREAD BEING WORN DOWN TO 3/32" - 4/32". TIRES ARE RATED FOR 60,000 MILES ACCORDING TO MICHELIN WEBSITE. AMOUNT OF TIRE WEAR WOULD SUGGEST EITHER AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES OR NOT THE RIGHT TIRE FOR THE VEHICLE. INTERNET SEARCH WOULD SUGGEST THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INSTANCE.

THERE IS A MILD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN THE AUTO STARTS MOVING AND THEN YOU REMOVE FOOT OFF OF GAS PEDAL AND THEN BACK ON GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE A SLIGHT CLUNKING NOISE IS OBSERVED. THIS HAPPENS IN CITY DRIVING STOP AND GO CONDITIONS

CAR IN MOTION FROM REST CAR MISFIRES CAR STALLS. 2 TIMES IN LAST TWO WEEKS TAKEN TO DEALER 11 FEB 2019. NO FAULTS FOUND. SORRY BUT THIS CAR IS BROKEN. HAS HAPPEN BEFORE 4 TIMES

I JUST GOT THIS CAR DELIVERED TO MY HOME ON 01/11/2019, THEN IT ID NOT WANT TO START AFTER JUMP STARTING IT WORKED THEN SHUT OFF SO I WAS GOING TO THE DEALESHIP WHILE DRIVING ONTHE EXPRESSWAY THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WOULD NOT START , SO HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY NOW IT HAS TO BE THERE TILL MONDAY OR TUESDAY,

AFTER SITTING FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR, THE BRAKES SQUEAL UNTIL I HAVE APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR 5-8 TIMES.

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. STARTING AT 17,500 MILES ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WORN TO 4/32". NOW AT 20,000 MILES TIRES ARE WORN TO 3/32 AND 4/32. TIRES ARE WORN EVENLY AND HAVE BEEN ROTATED AT DEALER WITH SERVICE RECORDS TO SUPPORT. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE XT5 TIRES ARE ONLY LASTING 25,000 MILES MAX. I WAS THE THIRD COMPLAINT OF THE DAY AT 1:00 THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO THE DEALER. TIRE MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES (PRORATES) THE TIRE FOR 60K MILES BUT CADILLAC CUSTOMER CARE SAYS TIRES ARE NORMAL WEAR AND WILL NOT SUPPORT THE ISSUE, EVEN WITH ONLY 20K MILES.. CLEARLY WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND EVENLY WORN TIRES , EITHER THERE IS A TIRE MANUFACTURER ISSUE OR GM ENGINEERING SPECIFIED THE WRONG TIRE. A CADILLAC WITH 20K MILES SHOULD NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR NEW TIRES, AND GM ENGINEERING NEEDS TO EVALUATE THE CONCERN AND VERIFY WITH THEIR DEALER NETWORK, ESPECIALLY IN THE DETROIT AREA. TIRES WORN AT 30% OF THE PROJECTED WARRANTY POSES A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY ON WET OR SLIPPERY ROADS WHEN VEHICLE HANDLING IS COMPROMISED. MY DEALER NOTES PREMATURE WEAR AS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CADILLAC XT5. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH CADILLAC CUSTOMER CARE, HOWEVER WITH NO INVESTIGATION THEY DENY THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ITEM AS A CONCERN.

THE "CUE" SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE NO NAVIGATION OR RADIO AND AM UNABLE TO SEE HOW THE CONTROLS ARE SET FOR CLIMATE CONTROL. ALSO, THE 360 DEGREE CAMERAS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY INCLUDING THE BACKUP CAMERA LEAVING ME BLIND WHEN PARKING OR BACKING UP. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES AND CADILLAC HAS NOW DECLARED MY VEHICLE A "LEMON" AND IS REPURCHASING IT. INTERESTINGLY, I'VE BEEN DRIVING TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIPS THROUGHOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA AND HAVE NOTICED A HIGH NUMBER OF XT5'S WITH THEIR DASHBOARDS COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED IN THEIR SERVICE AREA. ONE SERVICE TECH ADMITTED HE'S ALSO SEEN THIS ISSUE IN OTHER XT5'S. THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A PATTERN AND CADILLAC IS DENYING TO ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

THE PANORAMIC ROOF ON OUR CADILLAC XT5 CAN NOT BE USED WITHOUT EXTREME PRESSURE IN THE CABIN WHEN DRIVING IF YOU OPEN THE SUN SHADE AND OPEN A WINDOW THE SAME THING OCCURS, EXTREME PRESSURE IN THE CABIN, OR OPEN THE SUN ROOF WHEN DRIVING. THE PRESSURE IS SO EXTREME THAT IT CAUSES VERY PAINFUL PRESSURE IN THE EARS, TO THE POINT I ALMOST WRECKED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP AND GMC ARE COMPLETELY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID NOTHING WHEN WE TEST DROVE IT, THERE IS NOTHING STATED ABOUT IT IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND NOTHING STATED HOW TO REMEDY THIS PAINFUL ISSUE. AFTER THE FIRST EXPERIENCE IN OCT. 2017 SHORTLY AFTER LEASING THE VEHICLE, WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT, AND THE SALESPERSON AND HIS MANAGER BOTH KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH ALL CADILLAC MODELS BECAUSE THEY SEALED THE CABIN SO WELL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF WHAT IT CAUSES TO THE INNER EAR AND THE FACT THAT GMC NEVER MADE MENTION OF THIS ISSUE SO CONSUMERS CAN MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION IF THEY WISH TO HAVE A PANORAMIC ROOF. IN OUR CASE, IF WE WERE TOLD AS WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN, WE WOULD NEVER HAVE LEASED THIS VEHICLE. GMC MUST MAKE BUYERS/CONSUMERS AWARE AND THE DEALERSHIPS TOO, OR NOT OFFER SUCH SUN ROOFS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ONCE, REF. # 11071918 AND HAVE NO REPLY OR ANSWER.

NEW TOTALLY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION FELT STRANGE IN UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE AND WAS REPORTED TO CADILLAC IN THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASE. AFTER FIVE MONTHS AND 1800 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. PRIOR TO COMPLETE FAILURE, THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ASK ED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALL OR ISSUES WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND HE INDICATED THERE WEREN'T ANY. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE TRANSMISSION BECAME ERADICT ON AN INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND WE WERE FORCED TO EXIST AND RETURN HOME ON LOCAL STREETS. THE CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE ABOUT 10MPH WITH THE ENGINE RACING UNTIL WE FINALLY DROVE THE 20 MILES TO OUT HOME. ONSTAR WAS ACTIVATED AND DIAGNOSED A SERIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND SCHEDULED TOWINT TO THE DEALER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER ON MARCH 26 AND AS OF APRIL 15 THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED TO ME.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE - BRAKE FLUID ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED ON SCREEN AND OVER THE COURSE OF 24 HOURS THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. WHILE PUSHING THE PEDDLE COMPLETELY FLUSH TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE HARDLY STOPPED. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WHILE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. NORTH BAY CADILLAC IN ROSSLYN, NEW YORK WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PERFORMED AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.

MY CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTO STOP FEATURE TO SAVE FUEL. I WORKS FINE BUT IS VERY UNSAFE ON HILLS HERE IN SEATTLE. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A HILL AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I HAD A FREE RIGHT SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THERE WAS A DELAY BUT BEFORE I COULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD IN THE INTERSECTION ALMOST STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN WHO WAS J WALKING. THE NEXT INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY WHEN I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP ON A HILL. THERE WAS A CAR ON MY LEFT THAT WAS WAITING FOR ME TO GO SINCE IT WAS MY TURN AND I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL AND THERE WAS A DELAY SO I PUSHED HARDER. THE OTHER CAR THOUGHT I WAS WAITING FOR THEM SO THEY WENT AND THEN MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND CAME WITHIN A FOOT OF HITTING THEM. THEY WERE NOT TOO HAPPY AND GAVE ME A WELL DESERVED FINGER GESTURE. I BELIEVE MY CAR MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT TURN OFF THE FEATURE. I CALLED THE CADILLAC COMPANY AND FILED A COMPLAINT BUT HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE FEATURE TURNED OFF. I KNOW ITS FOR GAS MILEAGE BUT I CAN AFFORD THE GAS.

MY WIFE AND I WENT FOR A RIDE WITH OUR LITTLE DOG WITH US, AND AS ALWAYS HE LIKES THE WINDOW DOWN SO HE CAN STICK HIS HEAD OUTSIDE. NO SOONER THAN WE HAD LOWERED THE ONE (1) WINDOW WE NOTICED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF CABIN PRESSURE AND BUFFETING, TO THE POINT THAT IT CAUSED EXTREME INNER EAR PRESSURE AND PAIN. AT THIS TIME WE ALSO HAD THE SHADE COVER FOR THE PANORAMIC ROOF OPENED. WE CLOSED THE SHADE COVER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE WINDOW DOWN, BUT THE CABIN PRESSURE REMAINED. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMED TO HELP WAS LOWERING AT LEAST A SECOND WINDOW IN THE REAR. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE I CALLED SEWELL CADILLAC IN HOUSTON, TX WHERE WE LEASED THE VEHICLE AND I TALKED TO TWO (2) PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHICH WE HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY VEHICLE WE OWNED PRIOR TO THIS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP AND CADILLAC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CREATED WHEN CADILLAC DESIGNED THIS AND PROBABLY OTHER VEHICLES AND SEALED THE DOORS AND THE COMPONENTS TO MAKE FOR A QUIET CABIN EXPERIENCE, AND NOT ALLOWING ANY AIR TO ESCAPE. THE PROBLEM I STATED IS WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS BY CADILLAC IN ANY LITERATURE WE HAD NOR DID ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP MAKE US AWARE PRIOR TO LEASING. AS I TOLD SEWELL CADILLAC REPRESENTATIVES I TALKED TO, WE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY PAST VEHICLE AND IF WE HAD KNOWN AND HAD BEEN TOLD ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WE WOULD NEVER HAD LEASED THIS VEHICLE. I DID EXPLAIN THAT NOW WE CAN'T EVER LOWER A SINGLE WINDOW WITHOUT THE PRESSURE AND EXTREME PAIN AND DO NOT LIKE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL WINDOWS DOWN. WE BELIEVE WE WERE MISLED BY NOT INFORMING US OF A KNOWN ISSUE SO AS A CONSUMER WE COULD MAKE A DECISION IF IT IS SOMETHING WE COULD LIVE WITH, AND IN OUR CASE WE CAN'T. WE ALSO BELIEVE SINCE THEY WERE AWARE AND NEVER TOLD US ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THIS MAY BE CONSIDERED CONSUMER FRAUD.

BRAKES FAILED. COMING TO A STOP SIGN ON CR 13, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BRAKES DID NOT SLOW OR STOP THE CAR AT ALL. PUMPED THE BRAKES 3 OR 4 TIMES, NO BRAKING. WENT THRU STOP SIGN HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM DID NOT ACTIVATE. ESTIMATES I WAS 50 YARDS FROM THE STOP SIGN WHEN I FIRST APPLIED THE BRAKES, SPEED BETWEEN 20-30 MPH.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT STOP LIGHT RESTART, STOPS AND RESTARTS OR IN GARAGE DOES SAME THING. WE SUBMITTED CONCERN TO DEALER STATES IT IS FACTORY SETTING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, SERIOUS.

AFTER A HARD RAIN OR CAR WASH, THE DOOR LOCKS ARE RENDERED NON FUNCTIONAL BY USE OF THE FOB , OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE LOCK BUTTON AND AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. ALL DOORS WILL NOT LOCK / UNLOCK WITH THE ENGINE "ON" OR "OFF". THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS REPEATABLE. CONDITION CLEARS UP IF CAR IS LEFT PARKED FOR 6+ HOURS. SIMILAR COMPLAINT OCCURRED BEFORE BUT W/O WATER. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER "REPROGRAMMING".

MY 2017 XT5 COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN ON MY ON SATURDAY, 10/7. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT & WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAD A NUMBER OF LIGHTS COME ON & THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY & THEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN. IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD: THE HAZARD LIGHTS DID NOT WORK (VERY SCARY) & ONSTAR AND THE SOS BUTTON WOULD NOT CONNECT. AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES, ONSTAR WAS CONNECTED & I WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO ENGINE & TRANSMISSION CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED THE DEALER BY ROADSIDE. ON MONDAY, THE DEALER PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER WHILE THE DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE. ON 10/11, WHEN I WENT TO PICK-UP THE VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS A 'LOGIC LOCK,' THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR 4 MILES & CONSIDERED FIXED. I REFUSED THE CAR AS WE NEED TO KNOW THE ROOT CAUSE. THE DEALER STILL HAS MY CAR AND HAS NOT CONTACTED CADILLAC YET. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM AND ALSO HAVE A CASE OPENED WITH CADILLAC CUSTOMER CARE, BUT THEY ARE LESS THAN HELPFUL. THE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ONE ISSUE, BUT THE GREATER ISSUE IS THE SAFETY OF MY CAR AND THE FACT THAT IT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME AND THE DEALER THINKS CLEARING SOME CODES WILL RESOLVE IT. PLEASE HELP. GOD FORBID THIS HAPPENS TO ME OR SOMEONE ELSE AGAIN. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE.

2017 CADILLAC XT5. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. *LD UPDATED 10/04/2017*JS

PURCHASED NEW XT5 IN FEB 2017, CURRENTLY 8300 MILES. AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION MAKES AN LOUD BANG AND LURCHES BACKWARD. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCUR IN MAY 2017 IT CAUGHT ME OFF-GUARD AND THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS ABOUT 3 FEET. SINCE THEN THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 12 TIMES AND HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE, NO ISSUES FOUND OR REPEATED. RETURNED THE VEHICLE AGAIN 8/28/17 FOR SERVICE FOR THE SAME REASON. ALSO THE SUSPENSION IS VERY ROUGH, WHEELS FELL LIKE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY SHAKING, LARGE BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE TRACTION AND DEVIATE FROM LANE OF TRAVEL. STEERING MAKES A LOUD WHINING/CLICKING NOISE. STEERING WAS SERVICE IN JULY AND FOUND LOOSE MECHANICAL ITEM. 3 WEEKS LATER THE SAME NOISE HAS RETURNED. I BELIEVE THE WAY THE VEHICLE HANDLES BUMPS IN THE ROAD IS CAUSING THE STEERING ISSUE. DRIVING AROUND CURVES AND HITTING A BUMP OR DEPRESSION IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SKIP ACROSS THE ROAD SURFACE AND MOMENTARILY LOOSE TRACTION AND STEERING CONTROL. DRIVING THE SAME XT5 LOANER CAR, DOES NOT HAVE THESE SUSPENSION ISSUES. ADDITIONALLY, THE AUDIO RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING, TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON ALLOWS AUDIO TO START WORKING AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS CLOUDY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (INGERSOLL AUTO CADILLAC IN DANBURY, CONNECTICUT) WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE DEALER FURTHER STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WOULD EVENTUALLY DRY OUT WITH THE HEAT FROM THE HEAD LAMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,699.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH IN REVERSE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. THERE WERE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED, BUT NO APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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. IT DID HAPPEN 3 MORE TIMES. ONE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH INTERSECTION ON CITY STREET ENGINE MADE LOUD ROARING NOISE AND ABRUPTLY SLOWED ITSELF DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP. BUT IN THIS INSTANCE WHEN I STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR TO DRIVE FORWARD TO GET OUT OF INTERSECTION THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE,IT FROZE . LUCKILY I DID NOT GET HIT IN THE BACK. I WAITED, TURNED CAR OFF, AND THEN TURNED IT ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 7/19/17 EXPLAINING THE CAR WAS UNSAFE SINCE THESE PROBLEMS ARE ERRATIC AND I COULD GET HIT IN THE BACK WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THEY KEPT CAR FOR 9 DAYS CALLED AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM SO THEY WANTED THEIR LOANER BACK. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR BACK HOME SO THE DEALER DELIVERED CAR TO MY HOUSE AND TOOK BACK LOANER ON 7/28/17. IT HAS BEEN IN MY GARAGE SINCE THEN SINCE I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY AND WILL NOT DRIVE CAR FEARING I'LL GET HIT WHILE DRIVING IF THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONS AGAIN. I NEVER GET A WARNING OF ANY SORT BEFORE IT HAPPENS. AFTER IT HAPPENS AND I TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN THE VEHICLE SEEMS PERFECT. BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL BREAK AGAIN SINCE IT IS ERRATIC. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD.

DIFFICULTY REFUELING THE VEHICLE AT THE GAS PUMP. GAS NOZZLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS, SO IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO REFILL THE GAS TANK. CADILLAC ISN'T QUITE SURE WHAT IS WRONG AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR MORE THAN A WEEK WAITING ON A PART. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 7,500 MILES ON IT. THIS IS MY FIRST CADILLAC AND PROBABLY MY LAST!

WHEN TAKING TURNS, EITHER LEFT FOR RIGHT, THE DRIVER SEAT MAKES CLICKING NOISES AND THERE IS A FEEL OF THE SEAT SHIFTING TO THE SIDE. THIS IS VERY PREVALENT WHEN GOING THRU ROUND ABOUTS. AT TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND DRIVER REACHING TO CLOSE DRIVER DOOR THE SAME PROBLEM IS APPARENT.

#1 I HAVE PROBLEM VIEWING THRU WINDSHIELD BECAUSE LIGHT BEIGE DASHBOARD REFLECTING ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD (SUN GLARE)... #2 I HAVE HARD TO SEE REARVIEW WHEN BACK UP BECAUSE TOO DIM BACKUP LAMPS...

PLATINUM VERSION (TOP OF THE LINE MODEL) HAS WIDESPREAD PREMIUM LEATHER DASHBOARD DEFECTS ON BRAND NEW VEHICLES, SO BAD THAT BOTH SHOWROOM NEW REPLACEMENT PREMIUM LEATHER DASHBOARDS ARE ALL DEFECTIVE. I FIRST NOTICED MINE SEVERAL DAYS AFTER PURCHASING MINE IN OCTOBER 2016. IT HAS TAKEN OVER 9 MONTHS WITH GM/CADILLAC CORPORATE INVOLVEMENT TO FINALLY FIND MY 5TH REPLACEMENT DASH THAT DOES NOT HAVE DEFECTIVE LEATHER! THE DEALERSHIP SHOWED ME A BRAND NEW XT5 PLATINUM ON THEIR SHOWROOM FLOOR WITH BUBBLED PREMIUM LEATHER DASH. IT IS ONLY AFFECTING THE XT5 PLATINUM MODELS BECAUSE THE LEATHER IS DIFFERENT. IT IS APPARENTLY A NATIONAL ISSUE.

LOSS OF BRAKES. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND CAR WOULD NOT STOP. BRAKE FLUID LIGHT WENT ON. TOWED TO DEALER, FOUND MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. BOTH PARTS REPLACED AND PROBLEM SOLVED THUS FAR. DEALER STATED MUST BE COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE PARTS WERE BACKORDERED. MILAGE ON CAR IS 8,585 AT TIME OF BRAKE FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT TIME OF BRAKE FAILURE, MY WIFE WAS GETTING READY TO GET ON EXPRESSWAY. NO SIGN OF BRAKE FLUID LOSS WAS VISIBLE.

I HAVE AN CADILLAC XT 5 2017. THE LANE DEPARTURE WARNING DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED. I HAVE SPOKE WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE FROM THE DEALER TO DEALERS REPRESENTATIVE AND REGIONAL MANAGER. AFTER 5 WEEKS THE REGIONAL MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE LDW WAS WORKING PROPERLY AS DESIGNED. HE OFFERED ME SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION ( $300 ). HE AGREED THAT I WAS CORRECT THAT THE WAY CADILLAC ADVERTISED THIS WAS INCORRECT AND THANK ME FOR FINDING IT. HE SAID CADILLAC WILL BE CHANGING HOW THEY ADVERTISE THIS OPTION. WELL GREAT WHAT DO I DO WITH A $ 54,000 DOLLAR I PURCHASE THAT HAD FALSE ADVERTISING. I HAVE HAD LDW IN OTHER GM VEHICLES AND KNOW HOW THEY WORK. NOW TO THE PROBLEM, WHEN I GO OVER THE LINE THE SEAT IS SUPPOSE TO VIBRATE OR HEAR A BEEP. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE EITHER WORK BUT GOING OVER THE LINE OVER 100 TIMES IT ONLY WORKED 5 TIMES. I WAS GOING OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR AND THE LAW WAS GREEN BUT ONLY ALERTED ME THOSE 5 TIMES. ALSO I WAS ABOUT 6 FEET OVER THE LINE EACH TINE IT WENT OFF THOSE FEW TIMES. MY CONCERN IS WHAT HAPPENS IF I NOD OFF OR FALL ASLEEP AND DRIFT OVER THE LINE AND I HIT THE CAR, CURB, TREE OR TELEPHONE POLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SINCE I HAVE LANE KEEP ASSIST THAT WILL KEEP MY VEHICLE FROM GOING OVER THE LINE. WELL I ALSO TRIED THAT AND THE CAR DOES SLIGHTLY PULL ME BACK IN BUT IF I PULL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT ON OVER RIDE THE LKA WHERE IS MY WARNING. I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THIS. PLEASE HELP ME

THE RADIO IN THE CAR KEEPS DROPPING SXM SIGNAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET OR HIGHWAY OR ENTERING PARKING LOTS AT NEARBY SUPERMARKETS OR OUR LOWES STORE. I HAVE WRITTEN CADILLAC AND AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. WHILE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE PER SE, IT IS FRUSTRATING AND NOT EXPECTED ON A CAR THAT COST ALMOST $64,000.

AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE, MY XT5 AFTER 3 PREVIOUS BRAKE STOPS TWO WITH STOP SIGNS, THE NEXT STOP THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WITH A SUDDEN STOP. I DID NOTHING DIFFERENT WITH THE 4TH STOP WHEN THE BRAKES LOCKED. I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED AND NEEDED TO BE PRESSED TO IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE CAR TO REACH A CITY ROAD.

RANDOMLY, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER TO REVERSE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDEPENDENTLY SETS SUCH THAT PARK IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AS WELL AS REVERSE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE VEHICLE IS IN BOTH REVERSE AND PARK SIMULTANEOUSLY AS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. HOWEVER, I AM TOLD BY GM THAT THE PARK DISPLAYED ON THE DASH IS REALLY INDICATING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS SET AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK. IF THE VEHICLE CAN INDEPENDTLY SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN MOVING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF PARK, CAN THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION? IF SO, A DISASTROUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.

THE CARS AUTO SHUTOFF SHUTS OFF THE INSTANT THAT THE CAR STOPS, AT STOP SIGNS, THE CAR SHUTS OFF CAN THEN STARTING TO PRECEED HESITATES AS IT STARTS. THIS COULD CAUSE A MISJUDGEMENT IN THE ABILITY TO ENTER THE TRAFFIC FLOW AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FEATURE IS NOT ADJUSTABLE.

IN ADDITION THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL MADE A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A BUMP OR MAKING TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,800. UPDATED 02/14/17*LJ *CN

I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, ABOUT 45MPH, WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE CAME ON, I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST, SERVICE STABILITRACK AND ONE OTHER LIGHT ON. I MANAGED TO KEEP IT RUNNING ENOUGH TO NOT GET REAR-ENDED, BUT IT IS NOT SAFE. THE DEALER NOW HAS IT, AND I AM IN A LOANER. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON IT, AND THIS IS THE SECOND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (THE FIRST DID NOT INVOLVE THE PARKING BRAKE), BUT THE DEALER DID NOT FIND A CONCRETE PROBLEM FOR THE LIGHT. IS THIS GOING TO TURN INTO A RECURRING PROBLEM? IT IS VERY DEFINITELY NOT SAFE.
