During a cross- country trip, we had driven more than 300 miles, but the fuel gage indicated full, the Fuel Range Indicator showed a 688-mile range available in the tank which is much more than a 2025 Cadillac XT6 should indicate. The fuel gage indicated full even though it was not. I pulled the car over, shut it off and restarted, but it still erroneously indicated full. The indication remained that way for approximately 1400 miles. During the trip, while the gage still indicated full even though it was not, the tank was hard to fill. The gas station pump would automatically click off as if the tank was full, but it was not. I could only fill the tank by continuously over-riding the automatic shut off. This problem could not be duplicated by the dealership maintenance department on 4/29/2025. I picked the car up on 5/10/2025. I have a copy of the 4/29/2025 Service Report of the dealership.

When backing out of garage, but still in the garage, the rear- view camera shows a clear image. When the car backs into the sunlight from the garage the screen goes white for 10 seconds before the image reappears. The dealership Maintenance Department said that is normal! If I step on the brake while the image is white, the picture immediately comes back. If I place the transmission in park, it immediately comes back. When I drive the car at night, the rear-view mirror looks like I am looking through dense fog. The dealership Maintenance Department said that was normal because it is an infra red system and when LED headlights shine into it it causes this reaction! This car is still under manufacture warranty. I have owned two other identical XT6 Cadillacs and they did not do this. I have the 4/29/2025 Service Report of the dealership that reported the rear vision camera and back-up camera very foggy at night, but fine during day.
