“Bought new and there was a brake pad sensor message immediately that we took it to the dealer several times for and nothing was done other than clearing the code and giving it back. Was in accident 1/24 and it was found that there was a frayed/damaged wire in the break module and break pad sensor that I feel could have led to the accident”
NHTSA complaint #11580791, filed 2024-04“My vehicle received a software update which has caused my OnStar (safety) option to malfunction and has stopped working properly. There is an active recall for some vehicles but for some reason my specific year is not listed as one of the years for recall but has the exact issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11766533, filed 2026-09“Traveling on the interstate late at night in the winter with my family, which includes small children, a clicking noise began but then went away. No diagnostic lamps came on, everything seemed fine, vehicle responded appropriately. Moments later, on a remote stretch of interstate, we lost power and the engine shut down. The vehicle would not turn back on. We were stranded in the dark on a freezing night.”
NHTSA complaint #11640037, filed 2025-02“2023 Tahoe Z71 had recently been put in the shop, and evaluated for engine failure recall.
