The CUE system has totally quit so we are unable to change radio stations, get driving instructions, talk on the telephone etc. After reading online, this is a problem that Cadillac is not addressing and just tells us we have to replace it at our cost. Very disappointed that this hasn't been addressed in the past as many cars have been affected.

Please note GM PIP5146A...Chatter or Bind Feel on turns... AKA transmission shudder. According to Cadillac dealer in Durham, NC. The car needs it's rear differential replaced; 90,000 miles.. That is happening now. Ally, the extended warranty company, sent a technician to inspect the part. I don't know if the original part is still available. I 1st noticed the problem in Fall 2019. Shop invoice, 62,187miles, reflects differential fluid & filter change which temporarily, partially mitigated the problem for a few years. It never disappeared. I am not sure what the worse case safety scenario is. I never let it get that far.

THE CUE TOUCHSCREEN IS NOT WORKING. ALL WARNINGS AND SAFETY CO CERN'S WILL NOT SHOW. TRIED HARD RESET AS CADILLAC ADVISED WITH NO LUCK. CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND CADILLAC SAID THE COST IS OVER $ 1500. THE CAR IS TWO YEARS OLD AND CADILLAC AND GM KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2013 AND DID NOTHING TO REMEDY IT. IT'S A HAZARD AND AFTER SERVICING NONE OF THE WARNINGS CAN BE CHANGED. YOU CAN'T USE HANDS FREE CALLING ETC. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITH THE INFORMATION CENTER INOPERABLE. CHECK THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE THOUSANDS IF COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO 2013. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.
