am experiencing multiple issues with my 2024 Cadillac XT6 that affect drivability and potentially safety: 1.Intermittent Transmission Shift Jerk The vehicle occasionally exhibits a sudden "jerk" or abrupt shift while accelerating, mostly in 2nd-3rd or 3rd-4th gear. The issue is intermittent and cannot be consistently reproduced during dealer visits. The dealer has performed two transmission fluid flushes within one month, but the problem continues. No diagnostic trouble codes are stored, making it difficult for the dealer to duplicate, but the jerks are noticeable and concerning while driving. 2.Startup and Engine/Transmission Noise Upon starting the vehicle, I hear unusual noises described as [whining Noise is also sometimes heard during idle or even briefly after the vehicle is turned off. …

Driver assistance
While driving the dashboard screen goes blank including the radio. If using adaptive cruise control it also shuts off. After five or six minutes the cadillac symbol will appear on the radio screen and the dashboard screen will begin to sign back on. You must reset the cruise control. Everything on the dash is black including the speedometer and gages. This has occurred numerous times and the dealer informed me that there is no recall and no solution to the problem. My son has a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe with the same problem. The first time it happened was on an isolated road at 10:30 PM. I pulled over, not understanding what was occurring. I consider this dangerous not know what's going on how long if will last
