2024 Cadillac XT6 problems

Safety Complaint-Sudden Panoramic Sunroof Shattering While Driving Vehicle: 2024 Cadillac Xt6 On October 30, 2026, while driving my 2024 Cadillac Xt6 on a highway from Houston toward Austin, Texas, under normal driving conditions, the panoramic sunroof suddenly shattered with a very loud noise. There was no obvious external impact or object striking the sunroof that I could identify at the time of the incident. The glass shattered into a widespread spiderweb pattern. I reviewed my original dashcam footage. The footage shows the glass fragments being blown toward the rear of the vehicle immediately after the sunroof shattered. As the vehicle continued moving, additional loose glass fragments were carried toward the rear by airflow. Fortunately, the broken glass did not fall into the passenger compartment. However, the sudden failure occurred at highway speed and created a potentially serious safety hazard for the driver, occupants, and other vehicles on the road. I called 911 following the incident. A police officer subsequently contacted me to confirm the situation. However, I was not informed whether a formal police report was filed, and I do not have a police report or case number. I contacted a Cadillac dealership for assistance. The dealership informed me that GM had declined warranty coverage. However, the dealership also confirmed that a detailed inspection had not yet been performed. I have retained the original dashcam footage and photographs documenting the incident. I am concerned that this sudden panoramic sunroof failure may indicate a potential safety-related defect involving the glass, its installation, or the sunroof assembly. I am requesting that the federal safety agency document and review this incident to determine whether similar failures may represent a broader vehicle safety issue.

The vehicle has had breaking issues since I purchased it in September 23, 2023. On April 26, 2025 the car completely shut down while driving it for no apparent reason. Took it to the certified Cadillac dealer (see picture). Said, it was fixed. May 11, 2026 started doing it again while driving, turning, backing up or at a light. Breaks keep saying need to be serviced too. Had it towed in to Cadillac dealer they can’t get it to repeat problem or get codes to find out problem. I got Cadillac involved to help. Case number 98248412. Had to pick car up today spoke again with service manager at Cadillac dealer. He said, car has major issues and it’s rearing its ugly head (car is defective). He can’t get the codes because whatever is going on with car it’s not talking to the computer. I’ve been on a major highway and the car just shuts down. I’ve asked Cadillac to repurchase the car because I am afraid of being in a major accident and killed because I never know when the car will shut down. Cadillac told, me to keep driving the car until it showed up again and they would not repurchase it. If I get rear ended on a 4 line highway by a semi truck because the car just shut down myself and family could be killed.

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. •These noises occur intermittently, sometimes during cold start or light driving, and may indicate an underlying transmission, engine, or accessory issue.

Transmission suddered. Took to the dealer and they said that there are parts in the transmission that need to be replaced. They recommended not driving the vehicle because there could be complete faliure of the transmission causing the car not to move. They said that parts are on backorder and did not give a timeline of when the parts would be available. They said they did not have a vehicle to drive while we wait.

When trying to back in garage, transmission would not go in reverse at all and can only move forward, at times, the navigation display screen will turn off or freeze before operating normally, and the brakes have been squeeking ever since it was driven off the car lot when purchased new; gm says that's normal.
