23 of the
50 complaints about the 2024 Cadillac Redundant Lyriq are about the
driver-assist systems — 46% of everything
reported for this model year.
Half of the failures with a mileage on record happened before
100 miles.
I am submitting this follow-up to document new information and continuing concerns regarding my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq EV, which experienced sudden unintended acceleration during a parking maneuver. GM and its claims administrator (ESIS) have now completed their review and issued a denial letter on October 31 2025, stating “no defects were found.” However, the denial included no supporting technical findings, analysis, or data explaining how that conclusion was reached. Despite multiple written requests, GM has not provided the following key event-data modules: – Brake System Control Module (EBCM/iBooster) export (brake pressure, pedal position, brake override flags) – Propulsion/Drive Control Module data (torque request vs actual torque and accelerator input) – Front Camera Module metadata (timestamps and event record IDs) Additionally, several data discrepancies remain unresolved — including mismatched timestamps between the ASCM and FCM reports and camera images that do not correspond to the actual crash scene. On October 29 2025, GM publicly announced Customer Satisfaction Program N252521980, covering certain 2023–24 Cadillac Lyriq and 2024 Chevy Blazer EV vehicles for a Brake System Control Module software update due to possible brake-control performance issues. Because my incident involved loss of braking response, this recall appears directly relevant. I have requested confirmation whether my vehicle is affected and whether this module was analyzed in GM’s investigation, but have not received a reply. I am requesting that NHTSA review GM’s handling of this case to determine whether the engineering review was complete and whether the vehicle’s BSCM or related systems could be implicated in unintended acceleration or brake override failures. GM Case #1092995 – Submitted to ESIS/GM Product Investigations Group. Thank you for your attention and for documenting this matter in the defect database.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While driving the 12V battery system failed as well as the high voltage charging system. The vehicle lost traction control in the rain and was slipping on the road. The forward collision detection also intermittently goes out. If you are in one pedal driving mode and using adaptive cruise control when the forward collision detection goes out it will deactivate adaptive cruise control and apply enough regenerative breaking to rapidly slow the car. If the driver does not have their foot on the accelerator when this happens and you are in traffic it could cause an accident. The vehicle is not saving any diagnostic information regarding these failures and dealerships will not work the failures without diagnostic codes.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Multiple components of our driver assistance software have failed, beyond what we can check in the fields above. Most recently, we have experienced two major failures. The first failure occurred when the car triggered the emergency parking brake on its own while we were driving in traffic at 30 mph. We narrowly avoided being rear ended. This is the incident I've detailed in the fields below. The second failure occurred when the adaptive cruise control failed to brake as we approached gridlock traffic. We again narrowly avoided collision on multiple fronts. We were going approximately 45 mph with roughly 2000 miles on the car. We have the service records, but the selling dealer and Cadillac engineering claim these issues are now fixed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? We were well within less than a car length of collision in both of the situations described above. This car is a large SUV, it would presumably cause significant damage to cars it hit. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. They verified failures and out-of-date software in our vehicle in this last service visit. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? This vehicle has been directly inspected by Cadillac engineering through our selling dealer. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The warning lights we experienced included the warnings that the system had engaged and "service driver assist system." There was no warning when the adaptive cruise control failed.

Driver assist forward continues to have issues after being at dealer for issue for 4 weeks for repair After getting car back from dealer for the first three days the error did not come up. Now the error comes and goes daily. Issue happens when approaching stop lights stop signs where there is nothing in front of you starts vibrating seat and slams on breaks. Same stop sign as yesterday but today it vibrates warnings Makes not sense.
