Stabilitrak light comes on that also causes the engine light to come on. The vehicle self-accelerate while in park and did again when in drive. Can not tell you how fast the rpm accelerated due to panic that the vehicle was self-accelerating but it didn’t last long. Really quick and it went back to normal idling. Vehicle is scheduled for inspection today 1/20/25 at classic Cadillac atlanta. No warnings were given, lights(stabiltrak) just came on. Also the suspension rides very low. It feels like there are no shocks either front or rear.
Screen completely unresponsive and delaminated.
Hazard lights go on automatically while driving. This creates a huge safety issue, especially when driving in high traffic areas as other drivers may mistake hazard lights as turn signals. I brought my vehicle in to a Cadillac dealership in December of 2020 to replace the hazard light switch. They replaced it with oem parts, and the issue started happening again in April of 2022. The hazard lights will also engage when the vehicle is not running, so this discharges the battery to the point you need to buy a new one. Cadillac needs provide customers with safer hazard switches. This is the second time within 2. 5 years the hazard lights need to be replaced.
When turning to the right the vehicle sometimes will completely shut off in the turn. This is an intermittent issue, but when it happens it shocks you. When the vehicle does this it drives you into on coming traffic. You have to stop the vehicle, put it in park to restart, once this is done you have to go through a reset mode shown on dash.

Cue radio, climate, navigation, bluetooth system keeps freezing up. Now the screen has begun to spider crack. This is a very common problem amount all cadilac's models using the cue system. It is strange that they haven't a recall and fix.
