NHTSA complaint #11667819 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

2013 Cadillac XTS Colorado Springs, CO

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My VIN is not associated with the recall, identified as NHTSA ID 12V525. It affected 12,626 2013 Cadillac XTS vehicles manufactured between October 12, 2011, and August 30, 2012. However, the rear seat headrests in this 2013 Cadillac XTS will not stay in the upright position. SAFETY CONCERN: This could lead to the headrest collapsing during a crash, potentially increasing the risk of injury to rear seat occupant I called my local dealer Red Nolan Cadillac and they informed me that since the VIN is not associated with the recall, they cannot help me with a replacement unless I pay $497 for labor and parts to replace the headrests in the rear of my vehicle. HELP!!! I believe this is a safety issue when someone is in the back seat. It has already been identified as a safety issue. The rear seat headrest mechanism may not engage properly, causing the headrest to not lock in the upright position after being folded forward. REMEDY:The recall involved replacing the affected headrest mechanisms with a revised design.

2015 Cadillac XTS Hampton, NE

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The CUE system has totally quit so we are unable to change radio stations, get driving instructions, talk on the telephone etc. After reading online, this is a problem that Cadillac is not addressing and just tells us we have to replace it at our cost. Very disappointed that this hasn't been addressed in the past as many cars have been affected.

2016 Cadillac XTS South Berwick, ME

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The screen on the Cadillac CUE system has cracked/spidered and now has become a serious safety issue. You have to continuously fumbled around pressing buttons while driving. I have contacted GM numerous times and have gotten the run around. I understand that there are a few class action lawsuits still ongoing over this safety issue. Is the NHTSA looking into this problem?

2014 Cadillac XTS Gulf Breeze, FL

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The Cue screen in my car is cracking for the 2nd time. I have contacted GM/Cadillac without a resolution. I see online that there have been two class action suits due to the fact the Company was/is aware of the flaw and have not issued a recall. In addition, they are replacing the Cue screen (at owner's expense) with the same flawed design. Thus subsequent issues.

2018 Cadillac XTS Kansas City, MO

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The screen on the CUE system cracked, spider web cracked. Under no particular conditions. I got in it one day and it was like that. The car is parked in a garage unless driven. I asked the dealership about this and if there was a recall. The dealership said they have had a lot of complaints about this, but no recall. It is expensive to get fixed, and from what i've been reading online, they replace with the same screen, so it could happen again. This is so unexceptable.

LAST YEAR, WE BOUGHT OUR CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP USED. WE NOTICED THE CADILLAC CUE WAS VERY GLITCHY. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CALIBRATED THE SYSTEM. WE WERE ON A TRIP USING THE GPS AND IT GLITCHED SEVERAL TIMES. HAD TO PULL OVER AND SET UP OUR PHONES. NOTHING WORKS IN THE CADILLAC CUE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. CLIMATE CONTROL, GPS, APPS, WIFI, AND MUSIC. TOOK IT BACK, TOLD IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND GM WAS AWARE OF ALL THE ISSUES YET REFUSE TO DO A RECALL. DEALERSHIP SAID EVENTUALLY IT WOULD SHATTER. WELL, YESTERDAY, WE GOT IN OUR CAR AND NOTICED IT HAD IN FACT SHATTERED. TOP RIGHT CORNER AND BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD AS IT WOULD CUT SOMEONE. THE SYSTEM GLITCHES WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR SETTING STILL IN PARK. CALLED GM TODAY AND THEY BASICALLY SAID IT WAS ON US.
