5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Complaints for the 2022 Cadillac XT6 are thin, only 14 total, so no single system dominates with volume. The most notable pattern across reports involves sudden power loss while driving, with owners describing the vehicle cutting out unexpectedly at road speed without warning. One report describes an engine lockup at very low mileage that required full engine replacement, and another describes flashing dashboard warning lights accompanying a loss of power, attributed by the owner to a faulty thermostat sensor. A separate report mentions a battery discharge leading to a no-start condition, followed by brake failure and multiple warning lights after a jump start. A single report mentions the dashboard trim panel buckling in high heat, which appears isolated. The power-loss-while-driving theme, though reported by only a handful of owners, shows up across multiple complaints in this set.

By System
The 2022 Cadillac XT6 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel tank rollover valve that can fail to seal in a rollover crash, allowing fuel to leak and raising the risk of fire.
The rear suspension also carries a significant concern: the left-rear toe link, a rod that keeps the rear wheel pointed in the correct direction, may have been tightened insufficiently and can work loose or separate entirely while driving. If that happens, the rear end can shift unpredictably and the driver may lose control of the vehicle. This recall applies to AWD models only. There is also a braking concern involving the brake fluid reservoir cap, which on some vehicles is missing its required warning label. Without that label, someone servicing the vehicle may not know to wipe the cap clean before removing it, allowing dirt and debris into the brake fluid. Contaminated brake fluid can degrade the hydraulic system over time, leading to longer stopping distances.
