Owner report 11739920 · 2026-05-25 (May 25, 2026)

I am filing this safety complaint regarding my 2025 Cadillac Optiq with approximately 6,500 miles. On May 25, 2026, during rainy/wet road conditions, the vehicle failed to stop normally on two separate occasions while I was approaching stop signs at low speed. I was driving cautiously and was not speeding due to the rain. During the braking events, the vehicle displayed an “ABS Active” message/indicator, but the vehicle did not decelerate or stop as expected. I had to continue attempting to brake, and the vehicle traveled farther than it shoul…

Owner report 11702646 · 2025-12-03 (December 3, 2025)

On November 24, 2025, I discovered that multiple connected and safety-related systems on my 2025 Cadillac Optiq had stopped functioning. We believe a GM over-the-air software update was installed the weekend prior, and the dealer has inferred that the update may have caused the failure. We brought the car into the dealership on November 26th. The car was "fixeed" and we picked it up on December 2nd. Before we were able to leave the lot, the telematic system broke again. The dealership inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the telematics mo…

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

No selected model years have a complete observation window. Choose an eligible year or a shorter window.

Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.

Back Over Prevention: Rearview System Braking	1 ODI 11686870 Hi, For example, Audio would cut completely throughout the vehicle not allowing me to access any sources such as the On star board system in the event of a crash, music sources etc. In addition, when this happens all my safety features turn off on the car along with the screen going blank etc. This continued to happen on multiple occasions including with my kids and family in car on a 1 hour trip to Miami.

I one pedal drive and concurrently regenerative breaking is on since November of 2018. Having reversed out of the garage and then closing the garage door and before I reversed on to the street the OptiQ roughly lurched forward while stationary. While slowly entering the home garage to park, the OptiQ performed a forward lurching over a wooden barrier touching the wall (5/31/25). The front grill has indentations. Cavender Cadillac advisor has not returned my call.
