Problem with the fuel pump control module. Car broke down in front of my neighbor’s house. Now there is a problem with the transmission. It is slipping and there’s a clunking noise.

CADILLAC XT4 2024 FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
medium
Car suddenly stopped while driving and would not start and stalled. Tried to restart multiple times with failed to restart. Car cranked but did not start after multiple attempts. There were no warning signs or indication before stall. Luckily, incident happened in parking lot way out from it. Traffic behind had to steer to other lane to maneuver. Stalling on public road or freeway could’ve been a safety concern for occupants and others. Dealer diagnosed the issue as faulty fuel pump driver module and replaced the part. Issued was fixed under vehicle manufacturer warranty.

CADILLAC XT4 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
medium
On [XXX] my car auto brake unexpected early afternoon on [XXX] . SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 53 mph. A Mack dump truck almost rear ended me. On [XXX] the same thing happened in Philipsburg NJ on [XXX] . CAR WAS BROUGHT TO Faulkner Cadillac in Bethel, Pa. In both cases, there were no cars or objects in my path. About 2 months ago the same thing happened at low speed in Watchung, NJ. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 other times in reverse. Faukner reprogrammed front view camera for the [XXX] incident. It has failed and has nearly caused be to be in 2 very serious accidents. Various other XT4 Cadillac owners have reported similar incidents. I asked my Cadillac dealer to refer this to GM. I’m afraid to drive the vehicle.

CADILLAC XT4 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
high
I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, IT TURNED GREEN AND I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED BRINING THE CAR TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. MY PASSENGER AND I WERE THRUST FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD RESPECTIVELY. THE CAR BEHIND ME HIT ME. BOTH CARS SUSTAINED DAMAGE. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS SAFETY SYSTEM TO ENGAGE.I BELEIVE THEY CALL THIS PHANTOM BRAKING. BECAUSE I HAD JUST STARTED UP FROM THE LIGHT, MY SPEED WAS SLOW AND WE SUSTAINED NO INJURIES. HOWEVER IF THAT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY I TRAVEL QUITE FREQUENTLY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I AM SO STRESSED ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR, I ASKED CADILLAC TO DISENGAGE IT. GM AND CADILLAC BOTH DID INSPECTIONS AND CADILLAC SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GM REPORT AND HAVE ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION. MY UNDERSTANDING WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST YEAR WAS THAT THE "SMART SYSTEM" WAS FOR FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING FOR VEHICLES AHEAD NOT BEHIND THE CAR. WHEN I DRIVE OUT OF MY GARAGE AND IT JUST STARTS TO RAIN, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ABRUPTLY STOPS MY CAR AND I CANNOT GET OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL THE CAR GETS FULLY WET. I WAS TOLD THIS CAN HAPPEN SOMETIMES. I ASKED CADILLAC TO ADJUST THE SENSORS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THIS SYSTEM.

CADILLAC XT4 2024 POWER TRAIN

While driving on the highway, my vehicle suddenly engaged the brakes without any obstacle ahead, creating a dangerous and frightening situation. Immediately after this incident, the Check Engine and Transmission System warnings also appeared. This vehicle is still new, and it is completely unacceptable to experience failures in major systems like AEB, engine, and transmission. I have since learned about TSB #24-NA-053, which describes false AEB activations in XT4 models. My concern is that my vehicle may be affected. This car was purchased without notification of this issue from the dealership regarding the xt4 and obviously it was also not resolved upon my purchase of the car.
