SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
While driving northbound on [XXX], south of Oklahoma City, at normal highway speed, at night, in the rain (on [XXX]), this EV lost all power to the wheels and the regenerative braking ceased to function. It appears that all flow of electrons from the batteries to the drive motors, and from the regenerative brakes to the batteries stopped. I still had dashboard lights, steering, and conventional brakes. I was able to safely coast to a stop on the highway shoulder. I set the parking brakes, put the “transmission” into “park”, and turned off the power button. I then restarted the car, and all was normal again. I continued my drive from Austin, TX, to Evergreen, CO with no additional incidents, arriving on [XXX]. This is reminiscent of the “blue screen of death” in old Microsoft desktop computers — fixed the problem by cycling the ON / OFF switch. Unfortunately, doing this when driving at 75 mph is less than ideal, and is a real potential safety problem. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
While driving through Wisconsin on [XXX] with Super Cruise activated in 70MPH traffic the car provided me with driver's side collision warning failure notice and then a forward collision warning failure notice, but the car continued to be operating normally. A short time later a brakes overheating warning came on while the car still seemed to be operating normally and maintaining speed. I immediately disengaged the cruise control to check out the situation and the car instantly locked on the brakes, and we could see smoke and smell the burning brakes. I pulled to car to the side of the road, and we exited the car concerned there might be a fire coming from one of the 4 smoking wheels. The rotors were red hot. We remained a safe distance from the car until the brakes stopped smoking. After it appeared safe, I reentered the car and determined the brakes (parking brakes) were fully engaged and the car would not move. We contacted OnStar for assistance and waited. After a significant time (it seemed like quite a while) I suddenly heard the sound of the parking brakes electrically releasing. Shortly after that I started and tested the car again and it would move so we slowly drove it off the busy interstate to the next exit a short distance away and continued working with OnStar to obtain a tow to a Cadillac dealership. After working with OnStar for several hours and determining that there would most likely be no tow truck coming, we decided to test drive the car around the area now that the brakes had cooled off. We ended up renting a 'safety' car that my wife would drive, and I would try to drive the car back to Minnesota to our dealer. The car operated normally for the drive home, but we did not use any cruise control just in case. It was my belief that a system communication issue told the brakes to engage and that since the Super Cruise was engage the motors just added more power to over-come the drag on the brakes until they over heated.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
I am writing to report an issue with the windshield durability on my 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. Over the past three weeks, I’ve experienced three separate instances where small rocks struck the windshield while I was driving, each impact resulting in a crack or chip. In my experience with previous vehicles, similar impacts would rarely, if ever, result in such immediate damage, which raises concerns about the material or design of this particular windshield. This frequent damage has quickly become costly and frustrating. Windshields should withstand small impacts to a reasonable extent, and this does not seem to be the case here. I am also reaching out to Cadillac to address my concerns, but I wanted to report this issue to NHTSA in case other drivers are experiencing similar problems. Please let me know if there is further information I can provide. Thank you for looking into this matter.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: AUTOMATIC SYSTEM BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Ref: NHTSA ID# 24V589/ GM Recall N242453471 Record shows that the above recall was completed on August 27, 2024. Yesterday while I was reversing my 2024 LYRIQ out of my garage I experienced multiple false automatic braking. Braking was so frequent that, I thought, driving that car at that time was unsafe and pulled it back into the garage and took my other car. It was raining at that time. False braking has happened in the past but not to a point where driving is nearly impossible.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: AUTOMATIC SYSTEM BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Each time it rains and the car is in reverse, the emergency braking system kicks in repeatedly, and a red light flashes on the screen. The car believes there is an object or person behind the car; I would imagine because the rear camera can see the rain. It is difficult to even move the car at all, and is a major safety concern. The last time this occurred, I was backing out of my driveway at a slow speed. This also occurred backing out of a parking spot at a slow speed. I hesitate to drive this car in rain because of the issue. In speaking with the dealership's repair personnel, this occurs on every Lyriq. In fact, there was another Lyriq in for that complaint at the same time. I cannot attach photos or a video, as doing so would be unsafe. However, it can be easily re-created in any Lyriq.

The car believes there is an object or person behind the car; I would imagine because the rear camera can see the rain. It is difficult to even move the car at all, and is a major safety concern. The last time this occurred, I was backing out of my driveway at a slow speed. This also occurred backing out of a parking spot at a slow speed. I hesitate to drive this car in rain because of the issue. In speaking with the dealership's repair personnel, this occurs on every Lyriq. In fact, there was another Lyriq in for that complaint at the same time. I cannot attach photos or a video, as doing so would be unsafe. However, it can be easily re-created in any Lyriq.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
I have had two incidents with the automatic braking system occur in a short period of time. The Lyriq is not a car that I drive very often so when the incidents occurred in the last 2 of the 3 times of driving the car it makes me scared to drive the car again. The first incident occurred while driving at approximately 35 mph. The road I was on had 4 lanes with a turn lane in the middle dividing the 4 lanes with 2 lanes on each side of the turn lane. The road carries moderately heavy traffic as it has many businesses (fast food restaurants, strip malls, etc.) I was driving in the left lane when a truck in the on coming traffic entered the middle turn lane and a vehicle ahead of me entered the lane to the right of me. Neither vehicle crossed the line of the lane I was in. This is normal traffic for the type of road I was on. I know there have been reports of rain interfering with sensors in the past, but this day was clear. My vehicle flashed a red collision warning and engaged the automatic braking system. This was scary as heck. It was very jarring to me and my passenger. Next incident I was parking along a curb. So this time I was driving under 10 mph. I was backing up and there was a hand rail along on a walkway on the curb. There was no way I would hit the railing as it was several feet from the roadway. There was no warning in my car when it engaged the automatic braking system. Even though I wasn’t traveling very fast it was very jarring and my neck was still hurting from the last incident when it engaged the automatic braking. When the car engages the automatic braking system it sounds as though it has hit something or someone has hit you. It’s very confusing. I reported previous incidents to my dealer and they said that the sensors were sensitive and they supposedly did some sort of fix, but frankly I’m concerned what could happen as these incidents have quite seriously been a pain in the neck for me.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I purchased a brand new Cadillac Lyriq on July 1, 2024, and have encountered several severe issues that compromise the safety and reliability of the vehicle: 1.Display Failure: The display frequently flickers, flashes, and sometimes completely blacks out, causing the loss of critical information such as speed, backup camera, navigation, and other vital systems. This makes the vehicle unsafe to drive, as it is impossible to monitor speed and other essential functions necessary for safe operation. 2.Battery Overheating During DC Fast Charging: The vehicle’s battery consistently overheats during DC fast charging sessions, causing the charge rate to drop significantly (from ~190 kW down to 14-20 kW). This overheating issue not only drastically extends charging times but also raises serious safety concerns, particularly during long road trips in hot weather. The vehicle has repeatedly experienced these issues, making it unreliable for long-distance travel. 3.Charger Overheating and Instability During Home AC Charging: The home AC charger provided with the vehicle becomes excessively hot while charging the Lyriq. Additionally, the charging rate fluctuates erratically between 0-3 kW, further complicating the charging process. This overheating of the charger at home raises concerns about the safety of parking or charging the vehicle in my garage, as it may pose a fire risk. These issues have been reported to my dealership, who have attempted repairs without success. The problems persist, and the vehicle remains unsafe and unreliable for my family’s needs. I am deeply concerned about the potential for these issues to lead to more severe safety incidents if not addressed promptly.

This overheating of the charger at home raises concerns about the safety of parking or charging the vehicle in my garage, as it may pose a fire risk. These issues have been reported to my dealership, who have attempted repairs without success. The problems persist, and the vehicle remains unsafe and unreliable for my family’s needs. I am deeply concerned about the potential for these issues to lead to more severe safety incidents if not addressed promptly.
