Steering wheel buttons on the XT6 are hard to see when the wheel is straight, difficult to press without removing hands, and fail basic functions like pausing music.

The XT6's power liftgate foot-sweep sensor often fails to activate despite detecting the key fob nearby, with the indicator light sometimes not illuminating even when it works.

The XT6's rear camera defaults to an overly dark display when reversing with no brightness adjustment available, requiring a gear-shifting workaround to improve visibility.

The front camera on the XT6 disappears above 8 mph and requires first reversing to activate properly.

The XT6's digital rearview mirror provides a fixed, non-adjustable camera view that distorts distances, making objects appear closer and more alarming than reality.

The XT6's electronic shifter returns to center after use, preventing drivers from feeling or confirming the selected gear without looking.

The shallow, awkwardly shaped cubby in the XT6's center stack lacks good ergonomics for storage.

USB-C ports in the XT6's third row are deeply recessed, making them hard to access and prone to damage from children.

The vehicle's infotainment radio system automatically turns on with heavy static noise every time the engine starts, even if it was manually turned off beforehand.

The customizable sound settings for vehicle alerts, such as chimes or warnings, do not function at all.

The voice recorder feature in the infotainment system operates unreliably, sometimes functioning normally and other times displaying an error message directing users to the owner's manual.

Fully loaded 2025/2026 XT6 models run software that lacks support for premium features like Super Cruise hands-free driving; these options are entirely absent from the infotainment settings menu.
