Example complaints
Engine: “On April 7th 2024 we were traveling on vacation 2 1/2 hours from home and our vehicle started making a ticking noise and traction control, engine light, service emissions, and front collision warning all came on. It was idling very rough. We had to stop for the night with our kids and take it to the closest dealer the next morning. They diagnosed the car and confirmed that the lifters needed repair. We had to leave our vehicle and get a rental to make it back home. The dealer made repairs and sent vehicle back to us. …”
NHTSA complaint #11637730, filed 2025-01Transmission and drivetrain: “While driving our 2023 Chevrolet Duramax diesel suburban, I was waiting, at a complete stop, against the median to make a U turn. When the traffic cleared, I began the turn when I suddenly noticed a nearly complete loss of power, hesitancy of engine engagement, and little response to the gas pedal being depressed. Then an error message appeared on the dashboard stating Low acceleration warning . There was very little acceleration power available. The rear wheels seemed to spin. I was perilously endangered while making a U-turn across lanes because of this loss of power. …”
NHTSA complaint #11633963, filed 2025-01Electrical system: “1/10/25 Complete braking system failure, could no brake, could not use emergency brake. Almost crashed into my garage -Chevy Service Dept. replaced Electronic Braking Control Module 1/24/25 Complete braking system failure, could no brake, could not use emergency brake -Chevy Service Dept. replaced battery 2/1/25 Car shaking terribly, my kids screaming we were going to “explode” , car smoking, white smoke coming from exhaust -Chevy Service Dept. states there is an engine issue, they will need to break down and replace parts / repair”
NHTSA complaint #11641893, filed 2025-02Fuel system: “The fitting on the fuel pressure regulator on the engine began to separate from the housing and started spraying fuel all over the firewall and the fuel ran down the firewall onto the exhaust pipes. No check engine light signaled. The only way I knew that it was spraying, was I started to smell raw fuel through the air conditioning vents. Luckily I was able to get it to a dealer before any fuel caught fire. The dealer repaired it but GM stuck me with half of the bill for the repair. I have pictures of the failed part if necessary. …”
