What owners reported
2023 Cadillac XT4 owner complaints in detail
Owner complaints4
POWER TRAIN
Owners of the 2023 Cadillac XT4 frequently report issues with the vehicle's 9-speed automatic transmission not engaging 9th gear automatically, requiring manual intervention to shift properly. Complaints also describe a lack of smooth shifting in the lower gears (1-3) during deceleration, with a jerking sensation as if a clutch is popping. These transmission issues are reported to occur consistently from the time of purchase, with one vehicle having fewer than 5,000 miles. One owner also reports a separate incident where the vehicle unexpectedly powers off while driving, citing a potential battery or alternator issue. No crashes or fires are reported in these complaints, but the sudden loss of power while driving may pose a safety risk.
Owner complaints2
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Owners of the 2023 Cadillac XT4 report issues with the forward collision avoidance system, specifically involving unexpected braking events. Complaints frequently mention the vehicle engaging in phantom braking, where the car unexpectedly brakes without an apparent obstacle, even at freeway speeds. These incidents typically occur around 3,000 miles of usage. Safety implications are notable, as sudden stops on the freeway could increase the risk of rear-end collisions. Prospective buyers should be aware of these reports, as owners describe the system as potentially hazardous when it misinterprets driving conditions.
Owner complaints2
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners report issues with the electrical system of the 2023 Cadillac XT4, primarily involving the infotainment system and turn signal functionality. Complaints frequently mention that the infotainment system produces no sound and that turn indicator sounds are absent, which also affects the auto stop function. These issues have required owners to manually reset the system to restore functionality. Additionally, the turn signal canceler fails to work after left-hand turns. Safety implications are noted due to the lack of audible turn signals, which could potentially lead to miscommunication with other drivers. The complaints do not specify mileage, but the issues have occurred on multiple occasions for the affected vehicles.
