2023 Cadillac Lyriq Complaints

The contact owns a 2023 Cadillac Lyriq. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the surround vision feature failed to detect nearby objects. The contact stated that the Autonomous Self Driving warning and the Forward Collision Avoidance Adaptive Cruise Control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V710000 (Electrical System), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,100.

Rear view camera system display (360 surround) was completely inoperative. Rear view camera display did not appear on IP display when vehicle was shifted into reverse, nor did it appear when the "camera" app was selected from the center display. No warning messages present; OnStar remote code read indicated no codes. Danger is to others behind the vehicle, particularly children in blind spot. Problem persisted over several trips until I disconnected and reconnected the vehicle's 12 volt battery, and now everything is working correctly. Did not take vehicle to dealer now that everything is working; suspect software issue cleared by "vehicle reboot"

Low beam headlights have very poor throw which degrades while driving. After driving the vehicle for 30 minutes, both left and right headlights point downward and do not throw light down the road. Cutoff is steep, with light only going about one car length. The fault is variable and somewhat random, with sometimes just one headlight drooping. The car must be driven for this to happen - does not occur when sitting flat or idle. The amount of droop varies also (confirmed by placing various pieces of tape on garage wall, and checking headlight position before and after a trip). Although the magnitude of droop is variable, nearly any trip will cause at least some amount of misalignment. When the fault is severe, even the high beams do not function well - just illuminating a very bright spot directly in front of the vehicle - and not down the road. Vehicle has electronic motorized leveling system for the headlights. The headlights go through some sort of automatic adjustment proces...

The aim of the headlight beams droops over time to dangerous low level where the headlings barely light beyond 30 feet. The highlights would re-level and re-adjust the aim at restart, but they would start drooping to dangerous low level within 10 mins of driving.

When the vehicle first starts, the headlights go through some sort of leveling routine and the light spread seems to illuminate a reasonable distance ahead of the vehicle. However, over as short as a few minutes of driving, the headlight seems to droop significantly and can result in only a very short section of road being illuminated ahead of the vehicle. This makes it very dangerous to drive at night as not enough of the road is illuminated ahead of the vehicle. The headlight throw pattern is not always uniform and there may appear to be something like a notch in the light pattern. This does not seem related to adaptive forward lighting as I do not see an active change in the light pattern based on driving.
