Forward Collision AvoidanceParking BrakeService Brakes

Read full complaint

While driving through Wisconsin on [XXX] with Super Cruise activated in 70MPH traffic the car provided me with driver's side collision warning failure notice and then a forward collision warning failure notice, but the car continued to be operating normally. A short time later a brakes overheating warning came on while the car still seemed to be operating normally and maintaining speed. I immediately disengaged the cruise control to check out the situation and the car instantly locked on the brakes, and we could see smoke and smell the burning brakes. I pulled to car to the side of the road, and we exited the car concerned there might be a fire coming from one of the 4 smoking wheels. The rotors were red hot. We remained a safe distance from the car until the brakes stopped smoking. After it appeared safe, I reentered the car and determined the brakes (parking brakes) were fully engaged and the car would not move. We contacted OnStar for assistance and waited. After a significant time (it seemed like quite a while) I suddenly heard the sound of the parking brakes electrically releasing. Shortly after that I started and tested the car again and it would move so we slowly drove it off the busy interstate to the next exit a short distance away and continued working with OnStar to obtain a tow to a Cadillac dealership. After working with OnStar for several hours and determining that there would most likely be no tow truck coming, we decided to test drive the car around the area now that the brakes had cooled off. We ended up renting a 'safety' car that my wife would drive, and I would try to drive the car back to Minnesota to our dealer. The car operated normally for the drive home, but we did not use any cruise control just in case. It was my belief that a system communication issue told the brakes to engage and that since the Super Cruise was engage the motors just added more power to over-come the drag on the brakes until they over heated.

EA26006 · Electronic Brake Module Component Failure

Opened Aug 21, 2026 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes

On April 11, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE24011 after receiving complaints concerning a loss of brake assist in 2023 MY Cadillac Lyriq vehicles. These complaints allege a hard brake pedal, followed by a “Brake System Failure” message at start up or while driving. GM shared records regarding several internal investigations for loss of brake assist due to alleged spindle fractures in the eBoost system. GM has stated that in the event of a spindle fracture, anti-lock brakes (ABS), stability control, and traction control remain functional until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. At this point, ABS, brake assist, stability control, and traction control functions are lost. The loss of these functions causes the vehicle to set one of three Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) based on failed performance criteria for the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). These DTCs, in turn, activate several driver alerts: an audible chime, a visual “Service Brake System” message in the display, and multiple illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lights (MILs) for the ABS, Traction Control, and Brakes informing the driver of loss of functionality. The vehicle speed will also be limited to 70 KPH (43 MPH). Since opening PE24011, ODI has continued to receive reports of loss of brake assist. Some of these reports describe symptoms inconsistent with GM’s description of a spindle failure. These reports allege an immediate loss of brake assist functionality as opposed to the loss occurring after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The sudden loss of brake assist during a braking event could result in extended braking distance, which increases the risk of a crash or injury. ODI believes further analysis is necessary to assess the potential for failures in GM’s eBoost system to resulting in safety-related outcomes. At this time, ODI is aware of the following vehicles that are equipped with this eBoost system: 2023-2026 MY Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon; 2024-2026 MY Buick Enclave, Envision; Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Traverse; Cruise Origin; and GMC Acadia; 2025-2026 MY Cadillac Celestiq and Optiq. ODI is also aware of 2024-2026 MY Acura ZDX and 2024-2026 MY Honda Prologue vehicles that were built with this system. The Acura and Honda vehicles were manufactured by GM in a joint venture with Honda, and will be included in the Engineering Analysis as peer vehicles. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis to further assess the safety-related consequences of a failed eBoost system. In addition, ODI is expanding the scope of the investigation to encompass all GM vehicles that share this eBoost system.
