Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“My Cadillac Lyriq slams the brakes on when driving forward or in reverse with nothing in its path. This makes me very nervous to drive the vehicle as it is unpredictable as to when it happens. It scares me and affects my confidence in driving the vehicle. The entire vehicle also without warning goes completely dark meaning the screen and the entire vehicle just shut off.”
“While driving, my brakes suddenly grabbed so hard that it felt as though we were hit from behind or hit a large pot hole. There was no hole, we were not hit from behind and the brakes released immediately. We were fortunate that there was no vehicle behind us as it could have caused a collision. We were not going more than 20 mph. This has happened three times in the last 4 months. Our dealership claims there is no recall or knowledge of this happening to others.”
“I was parking in the garage and only tapped on the gas to move a little bit forward and the car accelerated on its own into a racking system and that racking system went through the wall of our home. I was only trying to move further up and barley touched the gas and then the car accelerated into the storage racking system”
