Example complaints

Steering: “The steering does not return to center at lower speeds. This appears to be a very common problem affecting these cars after about 40k miles due to faulty part. Repair can cost $3k. Worried that the steering could lock up and cause an accident. My wife didn't even notice until I drove her car and brought it up. Some people could be driving for years without knowing.”

NHTSA complaint #11663302, filed 2025-05

Other or unknown: “On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, while driving home from routine shopping errands, I suddenly heard a loud “pop” from above the vehicle. Importantly, there was no collision, no debris, no road hazard, and no indication that anything had struck the vehicle. I was not involved in any incident that could have caused external damage. …”

NHTSA complaint #11679178, filed 2025-08

Electrical system: “There have been reports of Electrical Problems including the driver side mirror. The mirror housing unit seems to have an electrical issue that is causing the housing unit to overheat and deform the housing unit plastic. This has been happening to my vehicle and I'm very concern that it could develop into something more serious. Contacted the dealer and GM already and they refuse any responsability”

NHTSA complaint #11755041, filed 2026-08

Forward collision avoidance: “Three times while using the Adaptive Cruise Control, the car applied the brakes without cause (“phantom braking”.) Two of the times there were cars behind me that could have rear ended me given the unexpected, rapid deceleration. The problem has not been reviewed by the car dealer (because they won’t return my calls.). No other parties have inspected. No warning lamps or messages. Incident dates: 5/9/2025, 6/22/2025, and 7/19/2025.”
