On October 28, 2026, my spouse was driving our 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ Premium Luxury RWD on the highway when the vehicle unexpectedly displayed a warning and began losing propulsion, progressively decelerating without driver command.

My Cadillac Lyriq 1GYXPZRL1TZ601181 Has dents on the passenger roof rail. There are three dents one above the front door and 2 on the rear door. I discovered the dents on May 17, 2026 and I showed my local dealer on May 18, 2026. I have not been in a hail storm. My dealer said I need to file an insurance claim.
