XT5

Driving down the road and my 2018 Cadillac XT5 started on fire for no reason and no engine lights came on. I loss all driving control power steering in the matter of seconds and was trapped in the car waiting for cars to clear so I can run out. The car is with my insurance company the car is now a total loss and I don't think they will investigate. I called GM to make a complaint. The fireman said he had just put a fire out on the same car a week ago. I found out that we have 2 more cars in the Macomb county MI area that caught on fire in the last 3 months same type of car.

Each time the car is driven the oil % drops by at least 1-2 % points. Since Sept 2019 the oil reading dropped to 29%. the dealer changed the oil filter and said the car was perfect. I have since learned that this vehicle has an open recall. There is an open recall on 2018 XT5, N192266190 - engine control software issue that does not appear on the Cadillac site. I was not notified.
