What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2024 Cadillac CT4, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owns a 2024 Cadillac CT4. The contact stated that while attempting to park the vehicle, there was an abnormal engine oil burning odor around the exterior of the vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a camshaft carrier reseal leak. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,305.
I was driving slowly into my driveway to prepare for turning into my garage. The car rapidly accelerated on it’s own causing me to crash into the garage door next to the one I intended to park in. I have video from my security system.

I took my car to Fields Cadillac Jacksonville for routine oil change and to rotate/balance tires. I was inform via video message that I had an oil leak coming from the camshaft carrier reseal and requires immediate attention.
Manual transmission: Shift from 1st to 2nd can be difficult at times and can only experience partial engagement of 2nd gear causing grinding and/or popping out of gear when releasing the clutch pedal along with loss of thrust.

My car doesn't advise when other car is closed
In November 2023 I purchased this vehicle. The dealership was made aware of the ripples within a few days of driving the vehicle. The windshield was defective and had to be replaced. The staff at the dealership did see the ripples on the windshield and agreed to replace the windshield. On December 14, 2023, the dealership replaced the original windshield even though they had the windshield since November 22, 2023. Within a few days of driving the vehicle, I noticed it also has ripples on the 2nd windshield. I have been to the dealership two times, and no one can see ripples. I have taken the vehicle to an automotive glass company who confirmed the ripples in the windshield. On February 5, 2024, I took the vehicle to a different dealership. The appointment was scheduled by a General Motors representative. The staff at the second dealership cannot see anything and took pictures to send to General Motors. The ripples in the windshield are distracting when driving in the daytime and nighttime.
