Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Service Brakes · reported Oct 2, 2026
My 2025 Cadillac LYRIQ has approximately 12,000 miles. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has unexpectedly applied the brakes and come to a sudden, forceful stop even though there was no visible vehicle, pedestrian, or obstacle requiring emergency braking. During the most recent incident, the abrupt stop caused my body to move forcefully and I developed neck pain. This creates a serious risk of injury, loss of control, or being struck from behind. The vehicle has also displayed “AWD Temporarily Unavailable,” ABS/brake warnings, vibration while braking, steering vibration, and shaking…
Air Bags · reported Aug 26, 2026
On XXX, I was involved in a collision with my 2025 Cadillac Lyriq with vin # [XXX]. in which my vehicle struck a parked car, then a tree, then a curb, in sequence, at approximately 30 mph. The vehicle continued onto the curb after the final impact. All passengers sustained injuries and required X-rays and medical treatment. There were no warning lights or dashboard indicators prior to the collision suggesting any system malfunction. During the collision, the front airbags did not deploy despite multiple significant impacts. Additionally, Automatic emergency braking didn't engage as it should…
Vehicle Speed Control · at 10,000 miles · reported Aug 25, 2026
The contact owns a 2025 Cadillac Lyriq. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH on a four-lane highway with the cruise control deactivated, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated above 100 MPH. During the failure, the cruise control erroneously activated but the speed was not displayed. The contact attempted to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal but it accelerated instead. OnStar was contacted for assistance and moments later the vehicle decelerated and was driven to the shoulder. The contact stated that the vehicle…
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Aug 18, 2026
I was driving on the freeway and was between two cars. The car on my right was trying to merge into me. I immediately was breaking while trying to control steering. I attempted to honk three times and my honk horn would not work. In a case of an emergency, that is absolutely unacceptable a car like this should be able to honk.
Power Train · reported Jul 13, 2026
I did some online research and am concerned that the accident may have been caused by a safety issue reported on our 2025 model Cadillac Lyriq involving its One Pedal Driving (OPD) feature. We had tried using OPD when we first got the car and didn't like it and have not engaged it again over the past year. However, after an Over The Air update last week, the feature seems have been engaged by itself. I noticed it the evening before and needed to research how to disengage. In the mean time my wife had to go out before I was able to disengage it, and not realizing the issue was anything but…
