1 Cruise Control problem of the 2014 Cadillac ATS

Failure Date: 05/01/2018

The car has a cracked cue screen from the inside which operates all the functions for defrosting, air-conditioning, and heating. The only way to use any of the air/heat is to have the auto button. The options on the steering wheel do not work at all. This has now become a very very severe safety issue when driving the vehicle and you need to have the front windshield clear. I also subscribe to siriusxm radio and you cannot use the radio at all from the cue system or the steering wheel to change the channels or volume. The cruise control is not operable at all because it is set up on the steering wheel . Cadilac should assume responsibility for the entire cue system since you can only use half of the functions in the vehicle.

2 Cruise Control problem of the 2013 Cadillac ATS

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

On February 22nd and 27th 2014, while traveling at 75mph the adaptive cruise control slammed the brakes on then released. I thought the system had miss-read the shadow of an overpass as a vehicle in front of me because that was the only thing in sight when the brakes locked, there were no vehicles present. Roads were dry. It was reported to Cadillac via their 800 number and then brought to the dealership 4 March 2014,for analysis. The dealer implemented an update to the active safety control module. Cadillac stated they would send an e-mail to my dealer about the problem, but dealer stated they never received the e-mail. No further problem noted until 1 April 2014, four weeks later, during a trip the same action happened twice within a mile of travel. Brakes were abruptly applied, red screen on dash with crash immanent. Again at 70mph and no bridges or other vehicles in path. The road condition was wet. This is a large safety concern for me if the breaks should lock at 70+ mph and not release and I have traffic behind me.
