I was stranded in the right lane at night with cars driving by. I was extremely nervous I was going to be rear ended. I was able to pull over to the right shoulder on the expressway and then the car wouldn’t start. I had to have it towed to my house. I tried to start it once I got home and it will crank but not…

All 4 of my door handles suddenly stopped working and they will start working from time to time. Most of the time it’s 3-4 days where i cant open my door’s from the outside.

Others stating they have taken their vehicle in and have been quoted up to $4,000 to do the repair on something we…

2024 CADILLAC XT4

Automatic emergency braking activated on three separate occasions when there weren’t any reasons for it to engage, additionally if there were any cars behind me I would have been rear ended since they would not have anticipated me stopping so suddenly.
