CADILLAC LYRIQ 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
high
In the past 18 months the vehicle has experienced phantom breaking while driving 3 times. Each time there were no vehicles within 30 or more feet from the vehicle. All 3 times occurred while driving the vehicle and going between 20-40 mph. The vehicle engaged in an emergency break and stopped the car in the road. All three times could have resulted in a major accident as it occurred on busy roadways. This last time it happened in the middle of an intersection with no vehicles around me or behind me. This is a major safety concern and put my family and I in a potentially dangerous situation that could have caused major injuries to myself, my family and others around us. The vehicle is currently with Cadillac being inspected. During conversations with Cadillac they said this is a known issue and suggested that I turn the mechanism off and bypass the safety feature to avoid it from happening again. This is not a systematic fix. This is a bypass. We purchased the car for the safety and security and how sophisticated the safety mechanisms are and we have now been told as a suggestion to simply bypass it. This is very concerning on a national level of That the vehicle is known for doing this. We no longer feel safe in this vehicle The dealer has not confirmed if they have gotten it to duplicate. The only updates we have is that they are still working on the diagnostic testing. There were no warnings prior to the phantom breaking taking place.

CADILLAC LYRIQ 2024 STEERING
medium
Component Involved: Steering Wheel Assembly (Super Cruise Steering Wheel Light Bar / Rim)Safety Defect Description:The plastic insert covering the Super Cruise LED light bar and the surrounding leather wrap located directly on the top rim of the steering wheel are breaking apart, peeling, and separating. This is an immediate and severe driving safety hazard. While executing turns and maneuvering the vehicle, the driver’s hands and clothing sleeves are actively getting caught and snagged on the exposed, broken plastic edges and peeling wrap on the wheel rim. This causes physical interference and sudden, unexpected entrapment of the driver's hand or clothing during active steering.Consequences of the Defect:This defect presents an imminent risk of a vehicle crash due to sudden mechanical restriction of the driver's hands. If a driver’s sleeve or fingers become trapped or snagged by the peeling steering wheel trim while negotiating a sharp turn, curve, or emergency evasive maneuver, they will be unable to smoothly rotate the wheel, leading to a direct loss of steering control.

CADILLAC LYRIQ 2024 BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
high
I put the car in reverse and released the parking brake. The car started to move backwards. However, the back passenger door was wide open, and the passenger was standing outside the car in the path of the open door. The door hit a guide wire running from the top of a power pole to the sidewalk beside the car. The wire pulled the door backwards, destroying it. This was fortunate. Without the wire in the way, I would’ve had not heard the crashing of the door and would have continued to drive over the person standing beside the car as the passenger door knocked him down. The indicator that the door was still open is so small on the gauge cluster that I couldn’t see that the door was still open when I put the car into reverse. There was no audible warning that I was about to move before all doors were closed, and the emergency braking didn’t stop the car from moving. The passenger’s leg got pushed sideways under the open door. Had the guidewire not pulled the door backwards and caused so much noise that I stopped, the door would’ve broken the passenger’s leg and potentially pushed him under the rear passenger side tire.

CADILLAC LYRIQ 2024 POWER TRAIN
high
My 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ generated the following High Voltage Battery fault codes via On-Demand Diagnostic: U2B4A, U2B4D, U2B50, U2B53, U2B56, U2B59, U2B5C, U2B5F, U2B62, U2B65, U2B68 — all under module VIC - Lithium-Ion Battery. Multiple codes are flagged "Service Right Away" indicating an active fault in the high voltage propulsion battery system. I brought the vehicle to Lindsay Cadillac, Alexandria VA [XXX] ) on [INSERT DROP-OFF DATE]. As of today [INSERT TODAY'S DATE], the vehicle has been sitting at the dealership for [X] days with ZERO repair action taken. The service manager has stated he does not know what to do, has no timeline, and cannot provide any answers. GM Technical Service Bulletins PIP6009B and 25-NA-044 specifically cover these exact DTCs and provide a documented repair procedure. The dealer has failed to follow or initiate this procedure. No loaner vehicle was provided despite this being a warranty repair on inoperative vehicle. I have been forced to rent a vehicle at $125/day out of pocket. I have an open Cadillac Concierge case number [93707662 #]. Cadillac Concierge was unable to reach the dealer's service department by phone. I have escalated in writing to GM's executive office including [XXX] and [XXX] with no resolution. This is a high voltage battery fault on an all-electric vehicle flagged as "Service Right Away" severity. The vehicle remains unrepaired, the dealer is unresponsive, and GM's own customer service cannot reach the dealer. This represents both a safety concern and a complete failure of the warranty service obligation. I am requesting NHTSA investigation of both the underlying battery defect and the dealer's failure to act on a known TSB.
