2026 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EV Complaints
What component failed: The “regen on demand” switch broke while using it. Safety: This incident put me, the occupants of my vehicle (my children), and the vehicles around me at risk. Reproduction: There was no need. It is exceptional obvious that the switch is broken and has failed. Inspection: The truck and broken switch were observed by the dealership that services the truck. Warnings: There were no precursors to the failure. Narrative: On Thursday, 7/16/26, I was driving my 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV. I normally drive in “single pedal drive” mode which provides energy recovery in lieu of mechanical braking. Additionally, I use the “on demand regeneration” for additional slowing and energy recovery. On demand regeneration is somewhere between single pedal drive and mechanical brakes. During this drive I was coming up to stopped traffic and slowing using the regen on demand switch. The switch snapped / broke and the additional slowing / energy recovery stopped instantly. I had to immediately apply the brakes in order to remain a safe distance from the vehicles in front of me. While I am able to safely operate the vehicle without this function, the manner in which the failure occurred is concerning and should be investigated. I am happy to speak with anyone who needs more information.;
2026 GMC SIERRA EV Complaints
Component/system malfunctioned: Adaptive Cruise Control integrated with Traffic Sign Recognition/Speed Limit Assist (camera-based speed sign detection and automatic speed adjustment). Vehicle available for inspection upon request. While driving ~35 mph in 35 mph zones with Adaptive Cruise Control engaged, the system repeatedly misread speed signs (or GPS data) as much higher (e.g., 75 mph). The vehicle then automatically accelerated aggressively toward the incorrect higher speed without driver accelerator input. Acceleration is sudden and strong due to electric powertrain torque. This problem can be reproduced in multiple locations in low-speed zones. Safety risk: Vehicle sped up dangerously in restricted areas (residential, traffic, pedestrians), risking loss of control or collision before I could brake or disengage system. No crash/injury occurred, but risk was high. Problem not reproduced/confirmed by dealer or service center. Vehicle/component not inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance, or others. No warning lamps/messages/symptoms before acceleration; dashboard briefly showed incorrect higher limit. First occurrence UNKNOWN, but multiple incidents since ownership. Appears to be defect in software, camera recognition, or integration of Traffic Sign Recognition with Adaptive Cruise Control, causing unintended high-speed acceleration in low-speed areas.;
