Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The 2023 Lyriq has 3 selections on the touch screen menu for the level of regenerative braking. They are: 1. Off 2. Low 3. High (I did not go out to my car to see exact wording) The serious issue is that, without notice to the driver, the setting can be reset to "Off". This must be a programming error or bug, but what is dangerous is expecting regenerative braking and NOTHING happens. You are forced to reset the level of regenerative braking. At a random interval, the setting will again RESET. This should get IMMEDIATE attention at GM's Lyriq design center.
Cadillac Lyriq Brake System failed, two type of brakes failed. One pedal driving automatically turned off, stopped working and normal breaking system stopped working, once breaks pressed it felt super hard like a ton of pressure/air was going through and brakes didn't work. Dash Board showed signs of: small car swerving sign, ABS sign, Brake sign with two cars crashing and an alert saying "Brake System Failure" This almost caused a multiple car crash. Dealer has the car and no detail give as of now. No police, insurance involved No prior issues.
