Example complaints
Electrical system: “I was driving and the vehicle cluster display and radio went out. I was unable to see how fast i was going and any system info. It eventually came back on. During this time the car was continuing to drive but unable to see any lane - blindspot warning or speed or system controls or warning events.”
NHTSA complaint #11604270, filed 2024-07Engine: “Almost every time I shift from park to drive and take my foot off the brake my car jolts forward a couple feet/inches to take off by itself in a manner that it should not. This has been going on since I got the car brand new and have had it just over a little over a year. I try to be as careful as I can with it and mentioned it to the Chevrolet dealership that does all my maintenance on my car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11662986, filed 2025-05Transmission and drivetrain: “When accelerating forward, the front wheel is almost locked up, and I was violently thrown forward into the seat belt and steering wheel. The transmission seemed like it jammed and the car was bucking. there is a known GM technical service bulletin on this, but no recall. The car was towed to the dealer and not drivable. I’m glad this did not happen on the highway or with other cars around or it would have caused an accident and injury.”
NHTSA complaint #11771770, filed 2026-10Other or unknown: “I received a email from carfax stateing the truck had diagnostic testing and is the transmission in the engine system. It’ll start up but you cannot drive it. It shows that are passed the state inspection on June 27/2025 stating that the truck passed the inspection how the truck went past inspection and it’s not driveable and I don’t have it. There’s no way that’s fraud you gonna say that the truck pass inspection when you can’t drive it normally when you go get a state inspection and once they do it and it pass they give you the keys and put the sticker on it. …”
