While driving the vehicle started to accelerate in its own. There was nothing obstructing the pedal. I could press down on brake with some resistance, but as soon as brake was released the, the vehicle accelerated. The vehicle did not level out with speed but continued to accelerate over 80 mph. This lasted about 8/9 mins, being controlled by riding on the break. It did it again for about 2/3 mins about 15 mins after first occurance. I took the car straight to get it looked at and the mechanic said that they could not find anything wrong with car

Since 6/2022 and again 7/2022, 10/25/22 1/31/23 Constantly stating service error codes for stabiltrak, antilock brakes, and brake assist not functioning and need service urgently. However when I take it to the dealership they find nothing wrong and further investigated at another Cadillac dealership they also state they found nothing. These errors continue to pop up intermittently and my Cadillac app reports them as needing service.

The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated while driving 60-65 MPH with her granddaughter seated in the rear seat, the vehicle shut off inadvertently in the middle of the road. The message battery low was displayed. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed from the middle of the road to the side of the road. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed that the electrical system had failed. An unknown repair was completed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

XT5 bumper-to-bumper warranty expired on 6-1-21. Both key fobs suddenly quit working on 7-17-21. Took to dealer 7-21-21. Cost me $300. Got it back on 7-26-21. Drove vehicle for the first time after getting it back on 7-28-21. Key fob quit working again briefly then started after I kept trying for a few minutes. After driving for 5 miles, the car completely died on very busy road - no steering, no dash lights, break lights - then the car suddenly braked really hard and i almost got rear-ended. 4-way flashers wouldn't work so I had no way to warn other drivers coming up behind me. I also was a sitting duck as I couldn't exit the vehicle since the doors wouldn't unlock and windows wouldn't go down. The temperature was in the 80s and I quickly began to overheat. I tried to signal other drivers who were beeping their horns and swerving around me until several pulled over to help. After approx. 10-15 minutes, as I was calling 911, the doors unlocked and I got the 4-ways to come on though they were working erratically. I called the dealership and they came and picked up the car. They've had it for a week and don't know what's wrong with it. This is a potentially deadly safety issue; I could have died or caused someone else to be injured or die due to the car suddenly losing ALL power while driving in heavy traffic with no warning, then braking hard and very unexpectedly, along with the inability to warn other drivers due to the inoperable 4-ways I also could have succumbed to hyperthermia as there was no way to escape from an extremely hot car. It appears that after doing some basic research, that this is not an isolated problem with the 2013-2017 XT5s. There are numerous reports of incidents similar or identical to mine found on various Cadillac owners online forums. Additionally, a common complaint is that this problem has not yet been solved yet by General Motors and their dealerships are at a loss to resolve this issue (they haven't been able to fix mine yet!)

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.

The "cue" system has malfunctioned. I have no navigation or radio and am unable to see how the controls are set for climate control. Also, the 360 degree cameras fail intermittently including the backup camera leaving me blind when parking or backing up. I have taken this vehicle to the dealership five times and Cadillac has now declared my vehicle a "lemon" and is repurchasing it. Interestingly, I've been driving to Cadillac dealerships throughout central Florida and have noticed a high number of XT5's with their dashboards completely disassembled in their service area. One service tech admitted he's also seen this issue in other XT5's. this sounds like it could be a pattern and Cadillac is denying to me that there is a problem.

After a hard rain or car wash, the door locks are rendered non functional by use of the fob, outside door handle lock button and automatically locking when put in drive. All doors will not lock / unlock with the engine "on" or "off". this has occurred multiple times and is repeatable. Condition clears up if car is left parked for 6+ hours. Similar complaint occurred before but w/O water. The issue was fixed by the dealer "reprogramming".

My 2017 XT5 completely shutdown on my on Saturday, 10/7. I was at a stop light & when I pressed the accelerator, the instrument cluster had a number of lights come on & the vehicle was very hard to accelerate. I had to pull over immediately & then the car shut down. It was completely dead: The hazard lights did not work (very scary) & onstar and the sos button would not connect. After about 5-10 minutes, onstar was connected & I was told not to drive the vehicle due to engine & transmission codes. The vehicle was towed the dealer by roadside. On Monday, the dealer provided me with a loaner while the diagnosed the vehicle. On 10/11, when I went to pick-up the vehicle, I was told the issue was a 'logic lock, ' the car was driven for 4 miles & considered fixed. I refused the car as we need to know the root cause. The dealer still has my car and has not contacted Cadillac yet. I am still waiting to hear from them and also have a case opened with Cadillac customer care, but they are less than helpful. The poor customer service is one issue, but the greater issue is the safety of my car and the fact that it completely died on me and the dealer thinks clearing some codes will resolve it. Please help. God forbid this happens to me or someone else again. It is completely unsafe.
