Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The electrical software isn't functioning properly. The radio, onstar, the door/seat belt chimes don't work. None of the electrical works in the vehicle. I was driving and when I pressed on the brake and turning, the dome lights start to flicker making it difficult to see other cars at night. The back doors don't always lock when locking them.”
NHTSA complaint #11396885, filed 2021-02, 5 miles“Braking systems not working properly. The vehicle failed to stop when applying the brake pedal. All brake pads are good; brake calipers are new; brake fluid is at max. I replaced everything I found online, but the issue is there on the vehicle. Dome light issue: the interior dome lights on the vehicle flashes constantly while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11400141, filed 2021-03, 9,400 miles“1: while driving the car, the second interior row lights flash every 2 minutes, it 's really annoying for the night driving. 2. When I was trying to do a parallel parking, my steering wheel was locked up, this happened couple of times, and sometime, the sign of stabilitrak off showed on the front screen. I was also hit by the car behind me.”
NHTSA complaint #10915153, filed 2016-10, 60,000 miles“Interior lights flickering when brake pedal is applied - this is both distracting and dangerous to the driver as this happens when we are in motion when the brake pedal is applied. I have seen other complaints online so wondering why there is not a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11222646, filed 2019-06, 65,000 miles“Condensation collecting inside of both headlight covers. I have paid $200.00 for a turn signal replacement. Now getting another failure warning on same headlight and the dlr is out on the opposite side of vehicle. I was told dealer it would cost 2000.00 to replace both gaskets. Gm has issued service bulletin stating the problem could be caused by the vehicle being exposed to rain?? Or car washing. I noticed condensation while parked in garage”
