Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Turn signal indicator blinks in opposite direction. When turning right and completing the turn the indicator blinks left causing confusion to other drivers who assume I’m turning left. On several occasions cars have pulled out in front of me nearly colliding. After many attempts to fix the problem the GM dealer replaced turn signal switches but the problem still persists.”
NHTSA complaint #11637481, filed 2025-01“Side object sensors go off frequently when no vehicles are there on both sides of vehicle. Additionally when passing vehicles the side object sensors only detect vehicles about 40% of the time. The side object sensors will double flash when no vehicles are there and fight me when changing lanes when lane assist is on. I have video of the false alerts and non detection incidents.”
NHTSA complaint #11627164, filed 2024-11“My truck has used automatic emergency braking multiple times while driving at variable speeds with no obstacles or vehicles in front of me causing whiplash and further damage to my neck that has 5 budging discs. Since I’m only allowed to add a specific mileage and speed below, I’ll note here that it’s happened since I purchased the truck with roughly 35000 miles on it to the current mileage of 44000 and between speeds of 30mph-75mph.”
NHTSA complaint #11739365, filed 2026-05“Twice the truck has randomly activated the front collision emergency braking system. One time was going around a turn and it activated, put the steering wheel straight and I almost tboned another car. Another time I was going straight nothing in front of me and it activated almost causing me to be rear ended.”
NHTSA complaint #11553118, filed 2023-11“My infotainment system as well as my driver display system black out and does not have a fix for it. I have had to drive my truck with no speedometer no safety info or system. I use my truck for work. I have no clue even how much gas is in my truck. Everything is controlled through this system.”
