Service brakes
2 reports
“When backing up the vehicle, the front brakes squeak as if the wear sensor is engaging. The noise goes away and does not reappear for the remainder of the drive cycle. I took it to the dealer and the pads are not in need of replacement. The service writer stated that it is a 'characteristic' of the vehicle and GM is aware of the problem. They have not issued a service bulletin for this. They also refuse to replace any parts relating to this problem. A search of the internet reveals this is a common problem with XT4's over several years. A simple solution appears to be to lubricate the pads where they seat into the caliper.”
Engine and engine cooling
1 report
“The contact owns a 2022 Cadillac XT4. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was shaking and lost motive power. The messages "Service Stabili-trak" and "Intake and Exhaust Valve To Optimize Performance And Efficiency, Please Schedule Service Now" were displayed. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who performed an unknown repair, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer; however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.”
