AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
airbags light turned on, my seatbelts just stopped working and are tight, my radio screen just went blank. I can’t drive the vehicle because of no proper working seatbelts. If i was to wreck there is nothing to prevent me the driving or my front passenger from being ejected. Ive taken my vehicle to my dealership that confirmed the airbag sensor says they have been suddenly deployed the dealer also confirmed my vehicle has never been in a accident and ive only had the vehicle since april 19 2021 the problems occured July 5 2021 and they advised me they have heard of airbags popping out of nowhere. It has not been inspected by police or the manufacturer. The seatbelts locked the radio went blank then my airbag light appeared suddenly. I Asked the dealership im financing the vehicle from if they could provide me a safe vehicle until they resolve they issue because i do have toddlers and i was told no it wasnt a option i also asked if they could just exchange the vehicle for another around the same value and was also told no. I was most concerned that they allowed me to drive the vehicle off the lot after explaining to me the dangers that could occur while im on the road.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The dim headlights are so dim you can’t use them. Looks like water in the headlamp. Have seen that this is an ongoing issue with GM and can’t find recall. They say pay for it now (which is more than I can afford) and they will reimburse in couple months. Car was this way when purchased but did not know and can’t get money back.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CUE SYSTEM (CONTROLS RADIO, NAVIGATION, WEATHER ALERTS, CLIMATE CONTROLS AND VEHICLE SETTINGS) IS NON RESPONSIVE. I CANNOT ACCESS THE SYSTEMS TO MAKE SPECIFIC ADJUSTMENTS TO CLIMATE CONTROL SETTINGS (DIRECTING THE HEAT OR AIR TO THE FEET OR CHEST AREA) PROGRAM NEW RADIO STATIONS, ADD A NEW CELL PHONE FOR HANDS FREE OPERATIONS, INPUT VEHICLE NAVIGATION DESTINATIONS OR MAKE SETTING CHANGES TO THE VEHICLE OPERATION. THIS IS HAZARDOUS AS I RELY ON THE VEHICLE NAVIGATION TO FIND LOCATIONS IN OUT OF TOWN LOCATIONS, WEATHER AND ROAD ALERT INFORMATION AND HANDS FREE CELL PHONE OPERATION TO RECEIVE CALLS. I HAVE RESET THE SYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT IT DOES NOT RESTORE THE TOUCH SCREEN FUNCTIONS. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM AND GM WAS AWARE OF IT AS EARLY AS 2014-2015. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS MORE THAN $2000.00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT WITH AN IDENTICAL ONE THAT HAS THE SAME DEFECT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED ON ALL OF THESE CADILLACS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NEEDING REPLACEMENT AS THEY WERE TOO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST IT SO THEY SENT OUT LETTERS TO GET REPLACED AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE. THE LIGHTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND DUE TO COVID IT COMPLICATED THINGS EVEN MORE. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS FINALLY CAME IN CADILLAC WILL NOT REIMBURSE. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE CUE. IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL IT
