2015 Cadillac Cts-V Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

UNABLE TO ANSWER AN INCOMING CALL WHEN CONNECTED BY BLUETOOTH: 1.PHONE RINGS THROUGH VEHICLE SPEAKERS (NORMAL) 2.AFTER 2 ' 8 SECONDS THE AUDIBLE, 'YOU HAVE AN INCOMING CALL' IS HEARD. (NORMAL) 3.IF THE CALL HASN'T BEEN ANSWERED AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE SECOND PROMPT 'TO ANSWER A CALL, PUSH YOUR HANDS-FREE CALLING BUTTON' IS PLAYED. 4.FAILURE: NO 'ACCEPT | REJECT' DIALOG IS DISPLAYED WHILE THE PHONE CONTINUES TO RING. PLEASE NOTE: AN INCOMING CALL CANNOT BE ANSWERED BY BUTTON-PRESS OR SCREEN SELECTION UNTIL THE 'ACCEPT | REJECT' DIALOG IS DISPLAYED ON SCREEN. THIS BEHAVIOR IS VERY INTERMITTENT BUT IS MORE LIKELY AFTER USING GPS GUIDANCE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM FAILURE THAT CAN OCCUR DURING ANY DRIVING SITUATION. THE VEHICLE IS THE 2015 CTS-V COUPE. THIS IS RELEVANT BECAUSE THIS MODEL HAS THE PRE CUE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. OTHER 2015 CTS AND CTS-V FOUR DOORS HAVE THE CUE SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. ANOTHER VEHICLE OWNER HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT FAILS WITH MY IPHONE 5S AND SE; IT FAILS WITH THE OTHER OWNER'S ANDROID PHONE.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
