I BOUGHT THIS CADILLAC 2017 XT-5 USED WITH 4,000 ON IT IT HAS 11,000 ON IT KNOW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR TIRE ROTATION & OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THESE TIRES MICHELIN PREMIER LTX 235/65 R 18 TIRES ON THIS YEAR 2017 ARE BAD TIRES. THE TREAD ON THE TIRE WAS MEASURED . 5/32NDS AT 11,000 MILES THESE TIRES ARE WARRANTYED TO 40,000 MILES. THEY SAY YOU SHOULD REPLACE YOUR TIRES IF THE TREAD TREAD IS 4/32NDS OR LESS! I THINK THAT WILL HAPEN IN THE NEXT 5,000 WHEN I GO IN FOR MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. I THINK I SHOULD HAVE THESE TIRES REPLACED FOR NO CHARGE AT ALL. THE DEALER SAID WHEN I COME IN AT 16,000 MILES FOR MY OIL CHANGE HE SAID HE WILL REPLACE THE BAD TIRE WITH NEW ONES THAT COST $205. HE SAID HE'D PRO RATE THE TIRES & HE SAID THE WILL CHARGE ME $450 FOR THEM. IF THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTED , WHY SHOULD I PAY ANY MONEY TO REPLACE THEM, IF THEY MANUFACTURED THE TIRES WRONG ??? VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE TIRES. I HAVE BOUGHT MICHELIN TIRES FOR AT LEAST 4 VEHICLES , IN PAST YEAR'S,AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND CAR LOST ALL POWER. NO ABILITY TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS OR CALL FOR HELP OR ANYTHING. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED SINCE THERE WERE NO LIGHTS AT ALL ON THE CAR AND NO WAY TO TURN ON ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THANK GOODNESS THIS HAPPENED WHEN STOPPED AND NOT MOVING. I COULD NOT IMAGINE THE OUTCOME OF LOSING POWER AT SPEED WHEN EVERYTHING IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED.

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, FOR 5 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE BEGAN ALARMING ON THE FIRST DAY I DROVE IT (10/16/20). MONDAY, 10/19/20, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO "PARK" WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP DID A QUICK ASSESSMENT AND CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. MY IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS WERE "WHY DIDN'T THE BATTERY INDICATOR APPEAR?" AND "WHY WOULD A LOW BATTERY CAUSE THE SUV TO GO INTO PARK WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT?" HOWEVER, AS THEY WERE RETURNING THE SUV TO ME, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRIC CONTROL WAS REPLACED DUE TO "AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN SHIFTER" THAT WAS UNDETECTABLE. ON 12/21/20, THE SAME DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WATER OULET BECAUSE THEY FOUND A LEAK "COMING FROM BETWEEN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND WATER OUTLET PIPE". ON 3/14/20, AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE 175 MILES AT 75MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RESPONDING TO ME PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWED AND NO ALARMS SOUNDED. ADDITIONALLY, ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT WOULD NOT RESTART. ONSTAR RAN A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND NO CODES WERE FOUND. THE THERMOSTAT HAD A NORMAL READING. THE ONSTAR REPRESENTATIVE RECOMMENDED THAT I ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. I DROVE BACK HOME WHILE MAKING FREQUENT STOPS TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL OFF. ON 3/15/20, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON 3/22/20, THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS DURING THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION. THEY ALSO DID NOT TEST THE VEHICLE BY DRIVING IT EITHER. I WAS TOLD ME TO COME PICK UP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT KNOWING THE REASON THAT THE SUV CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE 2017 CADILLAC XT5 IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN
FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A SERVICE TRANSMISSION SOON WARNING FROM OUR 2017 CADILLAC XT5 BUT EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT IN TO CADILLAC THEY STATE THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE WARNING. I HAVE PICTURES DOCUMENTING ALMOST EVERY TIME THE MESSAGE HAS COME UP EXCEPT FOR TWO TIME INCLUDING THE MOST RECENT AS I DIDN'T HAVE MY PHONE ON ME AT THE TIME. IT HAS BEEN TO CADILLAC 3 OR 4 TIMES FOR THIS. THE MOST RECENT TIME WE RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE THERE WAS A MESSAGE FOLLOWING THAT STATED YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT SOON WHILE ON THE XPRESSWAY AND WE WERE DRIVE 65 MPH WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET PICTURES THIS TIME AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I DIDN'T HAVE MY PHONE ON ME. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO CADILLAC AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE MESSAGE AND THEY RECEIVED NO CODE WARNINGS. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING STRANGE SOUND DURING GEAR SHIFTS AND THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS LIKE IT IS WORKING REALLY HARD AROUND THE TIMES WHENEVER WE RECEIVED THESE MESSAGES. THE CAR ALSO HANDLES VERY DIFFERENTLY AND DIFFICULTLY DURING THIS TIME. WE ARE HIGHLY CONCERNED AS THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, WHEN ACCELERATOR HITS THE FLOOR, THE PEDAL WILL STICK, CONTINUALLY ACCELERATING. THERE IS NO WAY TO UNSTICK THIS AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO INCREASE SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE BRAKES, EVEN THOUGH THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR; I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL THINKING IT MAY RELEASE IT AND EVENTUALLY IT DID. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. VERY SCARY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
STABILIZE WARNING KEEPS COMING ON AND SAYS TO SET PARKING BREAK AS WELL. READING ABOUT THIS, IT IS A VERY COMMON WARNING THAT CAUSES THE STABILITY SENSORS TO FAIL AND INCREASE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFTEY FEATURE ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS CREATES AN UNNECESSARY SAFTEY HAZARD THAT CADILLAC WILL NOT ADMIT TO OR FIX. THIS SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN SITTING STILL AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON MARCH 23 WE TOOK OUR 2017 CADILLAC XT5 TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE BECAUSE 2 DAYS PRIOR, THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE WHILE IN A STATIONARY POSITION. WE WERE ABLE TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, BUT THE BRAKE RELEASED AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY HAD REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR AND STATED THAT IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY FOR US AND CONTINUED TO DO SO UNTIL THE MORNING OF APRIL 9TH. MY WIFE WAS JUST LEAVING WORK THAT MORNING AND STARTED DRIVING THE CAR HOME WHEN SHE APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE SLOWED OR STOPPED. SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GO THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO A PARKING STALL. IF SHE HAD MADE IT THROUGH THE LIGHT ON GREEN, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A GRAND TOTAL OF 108 ADDITIONAL MILES SINCE THE LAST SERVICE ON MARCH 23. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD IT FOR ALMOST A WEEK. THEY FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BEEN LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER WHICH CAUSED THE FAIL. THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER WERE BOTH REPLACED. AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AT THE SAME TIME MAY HAVE BEEN A SIGN THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAILING. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS TRAVELING ON I-95 AT APRROX. 75/80 MPH WHEN MY DASHBOARD LIT-UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND MY CADILLAC POWERED DOWN TO LESS THAN 50 MPH INSTANTLY. THE STABILITRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, PARKING BRAKE AND CAR ASSIST LIGHTS CAME ON WITH A WARNING TO "TRAVEL WITH CARE". I HAD TO MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OVER THREE LANES TO GET OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO NOISE, SMOKE OR EVIDENCE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I COULD ONLY DRIVE THE CAR 55 MPH WITH THE FOOT PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR BOARD. IT WAS 4:00 AM AND I WAS AN HOUR FROM HOME. INSTEAD OF CONTACTING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME...TAKING PRECAUTIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP...WHO COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE SERVICING MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. AFTER THEY CHECKED OUT MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE (TAKING IT UP TO 80 MPH), I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. NO CODES WERE STORED IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I FIND THAT ODD. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT WHEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND A CAR MALFUNCTIONS THAT A CODE WOULD BE STORED. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH MY VEHICLE. I MAINLY DRIVE WITHIN MY SMALL TOWN...NOT HAVING TO EXCEED 45 MPH ON A DAILY BASIS. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE TO TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE FOR WORK 2-3 TIMES A MONTH. I AM VERY UNEASY ABOUT HAVING TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AGAIN. I WAS NOT GIVEN CONFIDENCE OR COMFORT FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS LEFT ME DISENCHANTED WITH THIS CADILLAC. I CAN'T GET OUT OF IT AND BUY OR TRADE-IN ON SOMETHING NEW AT THIS TIME. I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED BETTER SERVICE AND REASSURANCE.

I HAVE A 2017 CADILLAC XT5 WITH 22,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEALER HAD JUST INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRES INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE ARE WORN OUT AND MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE FIRST SNOWFALL. THE WARRANTY ON THESE TIRES IS 60,000 MILES, TIRE ROTATIONS WERE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE. A QUICK SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE AFFECTING THIS PARTICULAR GM VEHICLE. THIS PREMATURE FAILURE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO GET THIS RESOLVED.
