Restarting vehicle etc. We had an appointment the other day and sat there well over a half hour trying to remove the key from the ignition because you obviously can’t leave it in the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11724169, filed 2026-03“I purchased the vehicle in October 2021. Through the 2021/2022 Michigan winter - no issues. This 2022/2023 winter, an issue has occurred. When breaking, prior to coming to a complete stop, the vehicle shifts down hard with two clunks. On a slippery surface, it causes the truck to slide a bit - as though the wheels are close to locking-up. I took the truck to Art Moehn Chevrolet in Jackson, Michigan. They received a letter from GM stating this is normal. See attached. This problem only occurs in freezing temperatures and when first driving the vehicle. …”
