The vehicle was towed to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact stated that the vehicle had been at the dealer for thirty days.

Incident 1 - Dashboard Electrical Failure Date: June 11, 2025 Mileage: approx. 10,000 Problem: Multiple dashboard error lights activated simultaneously, including false "dead battery" warnings despite the vehicle starting normally. The vehicle could not be shifted into gear and could not be shut off through normal ignition procedures, requiring manual battery disconnection to resolve. Incident 2 - Power Steering System Failure Date: June 12-13, 2025 Problem: Complete power steering failure. Temporary resolution achieved by battery disconnection and reconnection, indicating systemic electrical issues. Incident 3 - CAN Bus Communication System Failure Date: July 6 and 9, 2025 Problem: Check engine light with diagnostic code U0073, indicating Controller Area Network (CAN) bus communication failure - a critical vehicle system malfunction. On July 11, 2025 my wife had the oil changed and the mechanic assured her, “It’s just a glitch ma'am, like a computer. Just restart the car 2 or 3 times.” Incident 4 - Recurring Power Steering Failure Date: July 12, 2025 Problem: “Service ESC and Power Steering”. Power steering system failed again, demonstrating that previous "fixes" were ineffective and the underlying defect persists.

My vehicles battery died, camera systems unavailable, cruising systems unavailable, breaking system breaker on clear highway at 55MPH with my kids in the back. The car is faulty!! 8+ months now waiting on a resolution! 7+ service visits now I’m being ignored!!

Brake on driver side front became super hot and started dragging causing the steering wheel to shake. Dealership stated calipers are fine need pins replaced. Pins on back order. In the meantime they cleaned the pins and re-lubed them and said I was good to go until the parts come in. 5 days later same exact thing. Now my tire is discolored (brownish)and my rotor is also discolored and rusted and brake dust all over rim. I seriously concerned with the integrity of the tire, wheel and whole braking system on that side. My computer show 36% front brake pad life on both sides. I have never had a vehicle wear that much in less than 1 year. Now my car sits because it is not safe to drive. DO BETTER GM!!

I purchased the vehicle September 2024. The brakes have been squealing every time I drive the vehicle since 2 days after purchasing. I have made several complaints to multiple dealerships who keep saying squeaking is normal on brakes. Brakes squeaking continually is not normal and should not be on any vehicle. GM and Chevy is refusing to fix or replace the brakes or see the issue. This same issue is happening to several vehicles and needs a recall. The brake system can just fail at any given moment since no one knows the issues. Brakes have squeak anytime the car is driven on a brand new vehicle is not normal and they need to be held accountable for correcting the issue. They keep saying nothing is wrong.

Brakes emitting squeaking and scratching noises. Brakes are spongy. Dealerships are refusing to change the brakes or apply brake grease.

While backing out of a driveway into an unobstructed road with no oncoming traffic from either side nor any pedestrians or cyclists approaching, the automatic emergency braking system applied the brakes and then locked up leaving the vehicle as an obstruction in the road. To disengage the locked brakes required a large amount of pressure on the accelerator pedal bringing the engine RPMs up to a sufficient speed to disengage the automatic emergency braking system. Had there been traffic approaching what would have been an otherwise safe amount of time to bring the vehicle into the flow of traffic would have been insufficient and may have caused an accident. There was no warning indicating any of the vehicle sensors detected an approaching object or obstruction. This is the second incidence of the occurring in the last week.

Cameras stop working suddenly after a start where it feels a connection is going off. Then everything that depends on camera system also goes off. Two visits to the dealership couldn't fix the problem yet.

Purchased vehicle brand new. Six months and 10,000 miles later vehicle giving codes that say key missing / check for key. Then another that says key not found put key in center console left cupholder. When the key not found error or key missing error comes on the vehicle will not start. Thankfully this issue happened when I was local as this could strand the occupants in potentially dangerous situations (heat/cold weather, remote locations, ect.). This also prevents the vehicle from shifting into neutral for towing purposes, therefore forces the tow company to "drag" the vehicle onto the flatbed and "shake" the vehicle off the flatbed as the wheels are locked. This happened on and off, sometimes once a day and sometimes can not start car at all that day. The vehicle has been at the dealership for TWO MONTHS now as they have not be able to fix the issue. The dealership has been able to reproduce the problem and has confirmed it is a problem. GM has been contacted about the issue as well. This is the exact same issue as NHTSA ID Number: 11645578

While driving i was stranded due to the oil pump failing and locking up the engine. Vehicle was towed with 3,333 miles on it. Engine, oil pump and turbo were all replaced after 4 months waiting. 2 weeks after car is fixed the engine is making shuttering noises and is in for a 2nd replacement with only 3,450 miles on the vehicle.
