NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
For the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq, the heaviest complaint concentration falls on two driver-assistance and safety systems. Owners most frequently report problems with the forward collision avoidance system, commonly describing false alerts, unexpected automatic braking, and the system activating when no obstacle is present. Exterior lighting is the second most-reported area, with owners describing headlights or other exterior lights malfunctioning, flickering, or failing. The electrical system rounds out the top concerns, where reports include infotainment screens going blank mid-use and losing functions like Apple CarPlay, as well as high-voltage battery fault codes triggering service warnings. A smaller number of owners report ABS engaging unexpectedly during normal one-pedal braking. At least one isolated report describes the sunroof cracking without any apparent impact.

By System
The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq has 7 recalls, the most serious being a braking issue on all-wheel drive models where the anti-lock brake system can activate without warning and drop brake pressure, reducing the vehicle's ability to stop.
Two other recalls affect drive power. Wiring inside the rear electric motors can contact each other and cut power to the wheels, and front stabilizer bar bracket bolts that work loose can damage high-voltage cables or battery coolant lines, also causing a sudden loss of drive. On the occupant safety side, the brackets anchoring the left-rear and center-rear seatbelts may not be properly welded to the seat frame, which can prevent those belts from holding an occupant in a crash. Three recalls involve visibility: the driver display screen can go blank while moving, wiping out the speedometer and warning indicators, and the rearview camera can fail to show an image when reversing, either displaying nothing or turning gray.
