Electrical System, service Brakes, engine
09/01/2024
I am reporting a serious safety issue with my vehicle, purchased from Ed Morse Cadillac. The vehicle has unexpectedly shut off while I was driving on multiple occasions (3 times to date). When this occurs, the entire infotainment and dashboard screen goes completely black, and most alarmingly, the brakes become unresponsive or extremely difficult to engage. This creates a highly dangerous situation where I am unable to control or stop the vehicle safely, putting myself and others at serious risk of a crash or injury. This is not a one-time occurrence—it has happened multiple times under normal driving conditions. I have contacted the dealership, but they have ignored my attempts to resolve the issue. This problem clearly involves critical vehicle systems and should be investigated as a potential defect. I am requesting that the NHTSA open an investigation into this issue, as this vehicle poses a danger to public safety.

Air Bags, service Brakes, forward Collision Avoidance

I am submitting this complaint to report a significant safety system failure in my 2025 Cadillac XT4 during an accident that occurred on April 12, 2025, in Dallas, Texas. During the incident: •The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) did not activate, and I was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision. •Neither the driver nor passenger airbags deployed, despite sufficient impact that should have triggered deployment. •OnStar Automatic Crash Response did not activate, nor was I contacted by any emergency response service through the vehicle. None of the vehicle’s safety systems functioned during this event, despite being standard factory-installed features. My XT4 had no warning lights or diagnostic messages indicating any malfunction prior to the crash. This failure closely resembles previous complaints noted in NHTSA filings (e.g., ABS sensor failures, OnStar module failures, and the 2025 XT4 passenger airbag recall). I am extremely concerned that this may point to a broader defect wi...

Forward Collision Avoidance
02/25/2025
I was driving with my husband and daughter, when all of a sudden, the vehicle braked out of nowhere (twice) with no one in front of us and the Emergency brake notification flashed on the windshield. Thankfully no one was directly behind us or else my daughter, who was in the back seat, could have been seriously injured. We had the vehicle towed to the dealership and they said this was not common but in fact it is. This vehicle is not safe to drive.
