Each time the car is driven the oil % drops by at least 1-2 % points. Since sept 2019 the oil reading dropped to 29%. The dealer changed the oil filter and said the car was perfect. I have since learned that this vehicle has an open recall. There is an open recall on 2018 Xt5, n192266190 - engine control software issue that does not appear on the Cadillac site. I was not notified.
Cause unknown. With the engine just turned off and vehicle stationary in a garage, I leaned into the rear compartment to retrieve articles and the vehicle moved forward. Once again l leaned into the rear and it moved forward. I then started the engine, did not put it into gear, but simply turned it off. I leaned into the rear and once again the vehicle moved forward.

The vehicle is using about one half quart of oil every 1000 miles. About half way through oil change, the engine add oil light comes on. Dealer has so far said this is "normal".
As I was driving I smelled a burning smell. A few seconds later saw a fire/smoke coming from the front right side of my car. I pulled over and took a look. Confirmed my car was on fire. I called 911 who connected me to the fire department. I then ran to the gas station and got a fire extinguisher. I then used the fire extinguisher and extinguished the fire. I made a claim with my insurance company who ordered a tow truck to transport the vehicle to an auto repair shop.
I just got this car delivered to my home on 01/11/2019, then it id not want to start after jump starting it worked then shut off so I was going to the dealeship while driving onthe expressway the car just completely shut off would not start , so had it towed to the dealership thinking it was the battery now it has to be there till Monday or Tuesday,.
My car is equipped with the auto stop feature to save fuel. I works fine but is very unsafe on hills here in seattle. Two weeks ago I was stopped at a light on a hill and the engine turned off. I had a free right so I stepped on the gas pedal, there was a delay but before I could take my foot off the accelerator my car lunged forward in the intersection almost striking a pedestrian who was j walking. The next incident happened today when I was at a 4 way stop on a hill. There was a car on my left that was waiting for me to go since it was my turn and I stepped on the pedal and there was a delay so I pushed harder. The other car thought I was waiting for them so they went and then my car lunged forward and came within a foot of hitting them. They were not too happy and gave me a well deserved finger gesture. I believe my car may cause an accident because of this. The dealer said they could not turn off the feature. I called the Cadillac company and filed a complaint but have not heard from them. I would like to have the feature turned off. I know its for gas mileage but I can afford the gas.
