Narrative

need this case escalated immediately as a serious safety incident. [XXX] around While driving my 2026 Cadillac Vistiq on [XXX] around [XXX]pm doing approximately 45 MPH.  The vehicle suddenly and violently activated automatic emergency braking with no vehicle, pedestrian, animal, or obstacle anywhere near me. The dash displayed a warning similar to:“Front Collision detected Brake now” The braking was severe enough to throw me violently forward and backward in my seat, causing neck and back pain that has continued after the incident. This was not normal operation. The vehicle created a dangerous situation and could have caused a rear-end collision if another vehicle had been following closely. I am requesting: Full diagnostic retrieval of all Forward Collision / AEB event data Inspection and calibration of all front collision sensors, cameras, radar systems, and Super Cruise related modules Documentation of any known technical service bulletins, software issues, or engineering investigations related to phantom braking or unwanted brake assist activation Written confirmation of findings Immediate escalation to GM Technical Assistance and Cadillac Engineering I also request preservation of all vehicle event data associated with this incident. This event caused physical injury symptoms including neck and back pain consistent with whiplash-type force from abrupt emergency deceleration. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 55
