Brake wear on other Lyriq years
No other Lyriq model year has enough reports of brake wear for a sheet of its own. See every Lyriq year.
What this problem usually is
Brake reports cover a wide spread of symptoms. Grinding or squealing is common, and so is a pulsing pedal or a shake through the car when stopping. Others describe pads and rotors worn out long before they expected, a brake warning light, or a pedal that goes soft or sinks toward the floor. The most serious ones say the car didn't stop in time.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS module (3 reports).

Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 3 service bulletins or notices for the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Certain vehicles listed above, may have a condition in which the Brake System Control Module does not have the latest software. Dealers are to reprogram the Brake System Control Module.

What owners wrote
“At least 10 times over the past three months the vehicleâs feature of one pedal driving disengages without a reason or code. When the this happens the vehicle accelerates rapidly. This has happened on local streets and on the highway and often results in a near miss collision. I am concerned this will result in a serious injury or death.”

“I was driving at a steady 65mph on a highway when the car suddenly surged and the message "1 pedal driving deactivated. Use brakes to stop." I stopped the car with the brakes and restarted it and reactivated 1 pedal driving. Note I was NOT using regenerative braking at the time. The car surged a few miles an hour, and in a heavy traffic scenario could have easily caused a crash.”

“Since a recent software update, vehicle will unexpectedly give multiple error codes, and disengage âone-pedal drivingâ mode. This happened recently when coming to a stop at a traffic light behind another vehicle. When coming to a gradual one-pedal stop, the one pedal driving mode unexpectedly disengaged, causing me to almost hit the vehicle in front of me. This error has occurred 5-6 times in the past 3 months.”

“While driving the car on 2 separate occasions, the breaks failed and the car would not stop completely. Twice I have taken the car to the dealer to be repaired and the car is currently at the dealer.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 9 of 26 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
