NHTSA complaints for the 2022 Cadillac XT6, grouped by the part owners named. Open a row to read what goes wrong.
The engine stalls and the car loses motive power. Both reports blame a failed fuel pump control module. Stalls happen while reversing and at about 30 mph, sometimes with several warning lights on, and the car cannot be driven and has to be towed. Failures show up early, at roughly 8,000 and 23,000 miles. Losing power in traffic is a crash risk. In one case the replacement module is on backorder, so the car is not repaired right away.
Complaints for this year next to the average for the other model years, area by area.
The 2022 ranks joint third for owner complaints among 6 XT6 years, close to the average of the others. Newer years have had less time to collect complaints, so compare like with like.
