Summary: General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Cadillac XT5 and 2024-2025 Cadillac XT6 vehicles. The instrument panel may not illuminate when the hazard warning lights, high beams, or turn signals are activated.

If I back the vehicle into the garage and drive out into the ...
I was backing up into a parking space in a parking garage. I was about halfway into the spot and was not in danger of hitting any vehicles or objects and my vehicle abruptly (extremely hard) braked.
When backing out of garage, but still in the garage, the rear- view camera shows a clear image. When the car backs into the sunlight from the garage the screen goes white for 10 seconds before the image reappears. The dealership Maintenance Department said that is normal! If I step on the brake while the image is white, the picture immediately comes back. If I place the transmission in park, i...
During a cross- country trip, we had driven more than 300 miles, but the fuel gage indicated full, the Fuel Range Indicator showed a 688-mile range available in the tank which is much more than a 2025 Cadillac XT6 should indicate. The fuel gage indicated full even though it was not. I pulled the car over, shut it off and restarted, but it still erroneously indicated full. The indication remaine...
