2017 Cadillac Xts Problems

Numerous problems for a year have been: engine dies while driving, car totally dead with new battery, display partially black randomly or totally black along with radio display black, park assist is turned off. Headlights turn off and on by themselves; The latest is driving up a hill @ 25 mph, the steering wheel jerked hard to the right at 2 different times. Had I not had a solid grip on the wheel, it would have taken down a 500 foot drop and we wouldn't be here today. This last episode is the first time their OBD was able to read anything. It read "no communication to steering, no communication to brakes, radio, dash display" and other no communications. This car is unsafe to drive and should be recalled or taken off the road. It has been to 2 dealerships and so far have not identified anything that gives me faith in the reliability in the vehicle.

THE MAJOR COMPONENT OF THIS CAR IS THE CUE SCREEN. THE CUE SCREEN IS CONNECTED TO THE ABILITY TO DEFROST AND COOLING/HEATING SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY, THE CUE SCREEN IS FROZEN AND THE OPERATIONS OF VARIES SYSTEMS ARE AT A HALT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES. CURRENTLY DUE TO LEATHER SEATS UNABLE TO COOL IN EXTREME HEAT AND HAVE HAD SOME MINOR BURNS ALSO, THE COOLING SYSYEM IS NOT WORKING DUE TO THE FREEZING OF THE CUE SCREEN, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS MATTER SINCE 2013. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR SAFETY.

Rear suspension not holding air. Rear suspension went flat while driving in highway. Had to pull over due to sudden rough ride

With no warning and only 45000 miles on car rear air suspension motor failed on expressway! I quickly noticed my steering anti red seemed out of control! I quickly pulled over not knowing what was wrong. My husband came to meet me and immediately asked what was in my trunk! I told him nothing he said my back tires were 1/4 inch from hitting wheel well. The rear end was so low if I did not pull over and hit a bump or rock my tire would of hit top of body of car! I would of lost control of car! Thank god I pulled over when I did it could of killed me or someone else in road! I contacted GM within hrs of it happening! As I looked it up on line it said some of my make and model were recalled and safety admin was looking into it! Went back and forth with Gm and dealer and 2 1/2 weeks later still pursuing GM! There is now a claim in for full reimbursement and still have not heard back! My car was out of warranty but this is a huge safety issue! I could of been killed in that car! It will kill someone’s if they do not address this! Lots of calls on my end where it seemed like they were concerned and eager to help! Turned out to be lots of waiting for non returned calls and them not doing anything at this point! Last call was Friday last week when they put in for full reimbursement and a promise to call me by Tuesday! No call so I called today where again I was promised to hear back by end of today! I will attach service receipt! The rear end was so low that tow truck damaged bottom of my bumper! Somebody again is going to be injured or killed from this! Hopefully they don’t deny my reimbursement from this complaint and dealer west Herr Chevy of Rochester wanted nothing to do with any help GM was going to do not sure if that is why I was getting run around from GM!

In 2019, GM released service bulletin 18-NA-358 that confirms the company's knowledge of of defective parts in transmissions. I have a 2017 Cadillac XTS experiencing these symptoms and GM should be responsible for parts failing due to metal shavings. This needs to be a recall. The transmissions are not getting gas, shuddering, and stalling when accelerating. This shuddering has almost caused me to be in many accidents. The vehicle owner should not be responsible for replacing expensive parts and entire transmissions due to metal shavings stalling transmissions.

XT5 HAS A TRANSMISSION SHUDDER, BETWEEN 16MPH AND 50MPH, WITH THE AISIN AF50-8 TRANSMISSION. GM REPORTS NO PROBLEM WITH THE AISIN. CADILLAC TECHNICIAN DROVE VEHICLE AND DID NOTICE SHUDDER. NEXT STEP, INVOLVE GM ENGINEER. IF HE DOESN'T FIND AN ISSUE, I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE SHUDDER.

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE POWER STEERING HAS QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AND WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. HAS HAPPENED WHILE ACCELERATING AND WHILE DRIVING CONSTANT SPEED. AFTER STOPPING, TURNING ENGINE OFF AND THEN RESTARTING THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I DO GET A MESSAGE THAT POWER STEERING IS OUT ON THE DASH BUT IT IS VERY EVIDENT WHEN IT GOES OUT. INTERNET SEARCH SAYS THIS IS A PROBLEM ON OTHER MODELS AND RECALL ISSUED. DEALER SAYS NO SUCH RECALL ON MY VEHICLE.

The cue system on my Cadillac cracked and it’s affecting my screen. No music no navigation. No air nothing and an annoying beep every 60 seconds.
