“On Sunday September 7th 2025. I was driving 40 miles an hour. And all of a sudden my electronic braking system engaged and locked up. Big jolt and came to stop. Luckily I was not on the highway and also luckily I did not get rear-ended as well.”
NHTSA complaint #11688099, filed 2025-09“Brakes lost all fluid. This resulted in a loss of function for related systems including adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking. Limited braking capability put my wife and I in danger. The car was less than a week old at the time. The dealer repaired it immediately on Monday morning. Dealer attributed the problem to a loose brake line. The warning lights and e-mail messages came in after the failure.”
NHTSA complaint #11462133, filed 2022-04“I feel asleep while driving on a residential side street. The vehicle drifted over to the right side of the road and i hit the back end of a u-haul truck. i didn't hear any warning and i don't believe the automatic braking system worked to prevent a collision with such severe damage. I was told the repairs are $16,000.00 roughly. My car has been in the Chevy body shop since the accident in May. They suddenly decided to total the car but don’t have additional charges.”
