“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.”

“2023 Tahoe Z71 had recently been put in the shop, and evaluated for engine failure recall. Dealership/GM deemed it failed test for replacement, we were given 0W40 oil and sent back out, this last weekend we had catastrophic engine failure while operating at 50+MPH.”

NHTSA complaint #11733261, filed 2026-04

“While driving, without warning my brake system failed and vehicle did not stop when I applied my foot on the breaks. In addition to while driving up a steep incline the engine failed as I was actively applying my foot to the gas pedal causing vehicle to roll backwards. Most importantly i do not feel confident using this vehicle any further knowing that the brakes are Not operating as they should, risking my life and my children’s life is nonnegotiable. Someone help please.”
