In owners’ own words

Collision avoidance mileage not reported 6 mo in service
The vehicle initially had a windshield manufacturing defect according to Cadillac Service Center which allowed plenty of water to go inside the vehicle during heavy rain. After the vehicle was serviced weeks later I was driving and the digital dashboard when completely yellow and red. At the same time the automatic brakes activated and I almost got rear ended. They serviced the car again after being tow trucked and “couldn’t” determine the cause of the dashboard incident shown on the pictures.
Collision avoidance mileage not reported 7 mo in service
The automatic collision system braking is engaging when the vehicle is in reverse and while it is raining. This occurs multiple times while trying to back the vehicle up during rain. This is dangerous for the passengers since they are abruptly thrown backwards without warning. The vehicle must be placed in "park" and then "reverse" multiple times until the collision braking stops malfunctioning.
Collision avoidance mileage not reported 10 mo in service crash / fire / tow
When approaching a red light at 5-10mph, I engaged the brakes, but the brakes did not work and the automatic breaking didn't work either, leading me to rear end the car in front of me. There were no prior warnings lights or notices, and the breaks were working properly before and after the accident. The car was towed to the dealership for inspection, but they could not find anything wrong and have contacted GM for further inspection.
Service brakes mileage not reported 8 mo in service
There was “Brake System Failure” message on the EV’s digital display. It happened 3 times in less than a month. When it happened, I had to apply the break very hard. Otherwise, the car would not stop completely and would not hit the car in front. Top speed is limited 43 mph so I could not drive it on freeway.
