   This is about an issue with the ACC system. While driving with the ACC engaged, it will intermittently disengage and without notification. Then the vehicle applies hard braking. After many multiple occurrences, I now tap the brake pedal and apply acceleration. I can't tell you how concerning this can be while driving at interstate speed. Just the thought of a large truck behind me will put the fear into you. Additionally, I have been able to hear an electrical clicking noise…

   I put the car in reverse and released the parking brake. The car started to move backwards. However, the back passenger door was wide open, and the passenger was standing outside the car in the path of the open door. The door hit a guide wire running from the top of a power pole to the sidewalk beside the car. The wire pulled the door backwards, destroying it. This was fortunate. Without the wire in the way, I would’ve had not heard the crashing of the door and would have…

   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.

The red warning lights at the front of the dashboard (the heads-up display) also flashed. The road was dry, I was on an entirely straight section of road, and…

    While driving my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq in rolling traffic, the vehicle abruptly engaged the brakes without warning or cause. The braking was so forceful I initially thought I had been rear-ended. Once the braking event ended, I began to accelerate—only to discover the vehicle had shifted into reverse without any input from me. This resulted in a rear-end collision. There were no alerts or dashboard warnings to indicate the gear change. I believe this may be related to a…
