THE CUE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS NO LONGER OPERABLE. THE SCREEN HAS A WEBBING EFFECT WHICH IS CALLED DELAMINATION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SCREEN BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN MONTHS AFTER MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. MY VEHICLE WAS AT ARNIE BAUER GMC/BUICK & CADILLAC AUGUST 2018 WHEN THE SCREEN CRACKED. I WAS GETTING MY BATTERY LOOKED AT. I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK AND SAW THE WEBBING IN THE SCREEN. SERVICE CLAIMED THEY WHERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT VERIFY THAT THE SCREEN WAS NOT LIKE THAT BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN. IN AUGUST OF 2020 THE SCREEN STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER HANDS FREE. I CAN NOT PAIR MY PHONE VIA BLUETOOTH AND THEREFORE CANNOT ANSWER OR MAKE ANY CALLS WITHOUT TOUCHING THE PHONE. ADDITIONALLY I CAN NOW ONLY CONTROL CLIMATE FUNCTIONS THAT HAVE A DEDICATED BUTTON NOT ON THE SCREEN. I'M NOT ABLE TO EASILY CHANGE A RADIO STATION OR ACCESS ANY OF THE SETTINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CUE SCREEN. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS WILL AFFECT OTHER FUNCTIONS IN THIS CENTER UNIT BUT BELIEVE IT WILL OR WHY ELSE WOULD GM INSIST THAT THE WHOLE UNIT BE REPLACED. MY CAR IS NOT ONLY MY TRANSPORTATION BUT IT IS ALSO MY LIVELIHOOD. I WILL NOT PAY $1500 -2000 TO FIX GM'S FAULTY EQUIPMENT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY KNOW IT'S FAULTY.

THE TOUCH SCREEN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE AC/HEAT/DEFROST ETC. I'VE TRIED DOING THE FACTORY RESET AND THAT DOES NOT FIX THE RADIO PROBLEM EITHER. *TR

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL CONCERNING THE CUE BEING DEFECTIVE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED WHICH I WILL PUT PUT MY NAME ON. MY DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO DO ANYTHING ALL THEY SAID WAS "IT'S NOT WORKING AND YOU NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP THAT HANDLES CADILLACS." I HAVE READ THE COST CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 1200 TO 1500 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING!
