What 2022 Cadillac CT4 owners say
Steering
The contact owns a 2022 Cadillac CT4. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60-65 MPH, the power steering and power brakes failed to operate as needed. The check engine and the crash warning lights were illuminated. The contact coasted to the side of the road while depressing the brake pedal with an excessive amount of force. The vehicle was stopped by bumping on a nearby curb. Once the vehicle was stopped, the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle and was able to regain power steering and power brakes functionality. The check engine warning light remained illuminated. The failure had occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was showing 24 failed Communication codes; however, the exact cause of failure was unknown. …
While driving in normal street conditions, the dashboard lit up and all the lights came on. Traction control, stability control, check engine light, tire pressure, brake, ABS all lit up. The digital dash showed two errors: 1. Forward Collision System Unavailable and 2. Steering assist is reduced, drive with care. I noticed that steering became much more difficult and braking was extremely difficult. When coasting to a park, my car would not engage the e-brake unless I shut the car down at first and then re-started it. This is the second time this has happened to me, the first time was 4 months ago and the Cadillac dealership already tried to fix the problem by replacing a brake control module. Clearly they did not fix it and now I do not feel safe in the vehicle. The problem is not easily reproducible as it comes on randomly while driving (I was literally cruising in 5th gear). …
