Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “When trying to back in garage, transmission would not go in reverse at all and can only move forward, at times, the navigation display screen will turn off or freeze before operating normally, and the brakes have been squeeking ever since it was driven off the car lot when purchased new; GM says that's normal.”
NHTSA complaint #11682674, filed 2025-08Electrical system: “While driving the dashboard screen goes blank including the radio. If using adaptive cruise control it also shuts off. After five or six minutes the cadillac symbol will appear on the radio screen and the dashboard screen will begin to sign back on. You must reset the cruise control. Everything on the dash is black including the speedometer and gages. This has occurred numerous times and the dealer informed me that there is no recall and no solution to the problem. My son has a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe with the same problem. The first time it happened was on an isolated road at 10:30 PM. …”
