2024 Cadillac Lyriq Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“I was driving at a steady 65mph on a highway when the car suddenly surged and the message "1 pedal driving deactivated. Use brakes to stop." I stopped the car with the brakes and restarted it and reactivated 1 pedal driving”

“Since a recent software update, vehicle will unexpectedly give multiple error codes, and disengage “one-pedal driving” mode. This happened recently when coming to a stop at a traffic light behind another vehicle”

“At least 10 times over the past three months the vehicle’s feature of one pedal driving disengages without a reason or code. When the this happens the vehicle accelerates rapidly”

“The infotainment screen in my car plus the menu control went completely dead. With the screen dead completely this mean you cannot see the speedomoter, rear camera feeds, warning symbols on the dash”

“Vehicle dash won't activate beyond the welcome screen thereby preventing me from seeing the speedometer, fuel gage, lane sensors, navigation, etc. I had to drive it on side streets to the closest dealer without aid of any standard dash meters”

“The vehicle has experienced repeated failures of the infotainment and display system, including the screen going blank and displaying “no content available” while functions such as Apple CarPlay are actively in use”

“The vehicle's instrument panel automatically dims excessively at dusk and dawn. When it does this, the speedometer and other information in the dashboard are not visible. There is no way to adjust the brightness any higher and no way to disable this auto dim feature”

“When approaching sunset, or when travelling under bridges, the dash dims excessively and is barely readable. I have to take my eyes off the road for extended periods of time to be able to see the information”

“Headlights on vehicle “droop” after driving 20 minutes or more. They start off okay and then become non existent l, pointing directly down toward the pavement in front of the vehicle and you can’t see more than 1 car length in front of you”

“While driving at night, my headlights will randomly aim down. Can’t see the road ahead. When high beams are activated, they blast the front of the car. Cannot see anything down the road”

“Right rear taillight and brake light fail to light intermittently. This is a known defect on many other Lyriqs”

“I experienced a complete electrical failure in my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq that prevented access to the vehicle while an infant was inside”

“We were exiting a parking garage when the car suddenly slammed the brakes on in the path of traffic and lost all electrical power. We could not get the car to turn back on or even get it in neutral to move it out of the path of traffic”

“On or about 11/14/24 Car found completely dead and won't start in garage. Car had about 50% charge in main battery pack and 12V completely dead. Called OnStar service and they had vehicle taken to dealership on flatbed”

“I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 70 mph, at about 5:15 pm. I was not using cruise control. There was no one in front of me for maybe a quarter mile. Suddenly and without warning, the car slammed on the brakes”

“Each time it rains and the car is in reverse, the emergency braking system kicks in repeatedly, and a red light flashes on the screen. The car believes there is an object or person behind the car; I would imagine because the rear camera can see the rain”

“Cruising at 65mph in moderate mixed traffic when vehicle began maximum braking with no action from me and no forward obstacles. Several following vehicles had to take drastic evasive action to avoid collision”

“As I approached a stop sign and hit the brake the car did not stop. I pounded on the brake but there was no response at all; it just coasted forward. The car continued to move and hit the car in front of me stopped at the stop sign”

“She pressed the brakes firmly, but the vehicle failed to stop, resulting in a collision. Despite full brake application, the car did not stop as expected. The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Forward Collision Alert (FCA) systems did not activate”

“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”

“On September 9, 2025, while slowly turning into a parking space at approximately 7 mph, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration. There were no warnings, alerts, or Safety Alert Seat vibrations prior to the surge”

“While slowly turning into a parking space at approximately 1 mph (?) the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated. The vehicle mounted the curb, and struck a a parked car and hit a brick retaining wall, causing damage to both”
