POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

Regarding NHTSA Campaign ID 25V148, GM recall N242480630. The recall was for a potential transmission control valve issue where some vehicles may be susceptible to excess wear over time, resulting in gradual loss of pressure within the valve that can cause harsh shifting. With the recall we finally knew what was wrong with the vehicle. We have a defective transmission control valve. The transmission was replaced in 2022 and now needs to be replaced again. At the appointment for the recall we expressed that the transmission control valve has already caused damage and it needs to be replaced. We also requested that the damage the defective valve caused, the failing transmission, also needs to be replaced under this recall. We were told to contact Cadillac customer support at 800-333-4223 and filed a case on 5/27/25, case [XXX]. I have yet to receive a call back. I call everyday and leave a message and nobody calls back. The vehicle can not be driven and they will not provide a loaner car. Please hold Cadillac accountable for using defective parts in vehicles and then not providing a remedy to the damage they have caused in a timely manner if at all.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

this vehicle has had multiple check engine failures it has been in for service six times in a matter of months. In September I had Service Traction control/StabiliTrack lights come on and the car losses of engine power. I had it serviced again in October for the same issue it was at the dealership for 20 days all they did was clear the code and drove it 38 miles, including the technician driving it home to see if the issue could be duplicated. After the 20th day they advised me to pick up my vehicle and return it when the light were actively on. I expressed to them as well as GM that I felt unsafe driving my vehicle this way as it is a great danger to my safety when the car looses power. I drive up/down a canyon as early as 3am I went from speeds of 80mph drooped down to 20-25mph due to this failure. Today I have another check engine light on the vehicle. I dont feel safe driving this vehicle at all!

Ongoing for 3+ years with no resolution.

Additional Notes:

In reverse infotainment display instead of showing backup cameras, shows a blue screen with a camera error msg. Has occurred since vehicle was new. As it becomes more frequent, we've taken it to the dealer and they serviced it (keeping the car for 2 weeks each time). Upon return it does it occasionally again. Ongoing for 3+ years with no resolution.

Defect Description:

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

Cameras not displaying. Backup or surround. Instead, we get a blue screen with message "service camera system). This has happened every other day or so since purchased new in March 2020. In May 2021 it would continually occur (never function correctly). Dealer had it for 2 weeks replacing different components. The radio, the video processing unit, a communication harness, 2 cameras. Finally got it back to us where it would once again work 80% of the time. Then in Feb 2023 it would continually occur again (always blue screen). Dealer had it for 2 1/2 weeks. Replaced again multiple components this time at the direction of GM corporate techs and a field engineer. Replaced coaxs, cameras, video processing unit. Finally got it back to us where it would once again work 80% of the time. Now just 5 months later, it's continually occuring again.

AIR BAGS

Potential Consequences:

I have had many issues with Onstar failing. I bought the 2020 Cadillac CT5 AWD 10/2020. It took Onstar over a month to connect to my car to provide AT&T internet plan (via Onstar). On 4/22/21 I was hit in my driver front & wheel, Onstar failed- never contacted us & the airbags did not deploy. I noticed my Onstar light was red. Onstar was repaired during the body shop repair. Soon after I picked up the car (approximately 1 month) the SRS light came on & Onstar turned red again on 7/31/21. Dropped off the car to be repaired 8/13/21. After repair, SRS light came on again on 8/29/21. Then 10/4/21 the entire CUE system malfunctioned, could not use Carplay, Car Internet would not work, & Navigation would not load. 10/30/21 I cranked my car & left keys in car, the doors locked- which it should not have done. My Onstar app could not unlock the car. I called Onstar to unlock the vehicle & was told they were receiving a "busy signal, spinning sign" when trying to reach my car. My car finally shut off after idling for so long, and it unlocked the doors. I dropped off for service again 11/4/21. GM & Onstar both investigated car for the failures following the accident that occurred 4/22/21-both companies said no issue was found. GM downloaded data from wreck data, I received the report and it was missing data.
