as someone who has been in the car business his entire life, the below TSB is utter bullshit. My 2025 enclave with 3400 miles on it had a catastrophic and copious amount of transmission fluid. on my tile floor in my garage and all over my driveway a minimum of 5 to 7 quarts.. had my wife been driving the car with my grandchildren as a guarantee it would’ve locked the transmission up and evacuated all the oil as it is on the high-pressure side of the pump. Based on my knowledge of recalls, this should be a stop sale and a recall, not a TSB why have they been given a pass on this? https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11014291-0001.pdf

There is no manual door unlock for the driver or front passenger. I’ve contacted Buick and the dealership and they have verified in the event of an electrical failure or fire there is no way to unlock the front doors to exit the vehicle.

I was driving on the interstate and the car just shut off. I was on the left lane and cars were honking and tailing me as I was trying to get off.

I was driving on the interstate and the car just shut off. I was on the left lane and cars were honking and tailing me as I was trying to get off. I could not get off on the left and had to drift across to the right side. Thank God it was downhill. I drifted to the exit and went off onto the grass. My safety was at risk to the fullest. I am very lucky I was not killed as well as my sister! It was the most frightening experience. The car was towed to Pensacola Step one dealership. The manager of service says it needs a new engine. The car is only 6 months old! No warnings until it shut off, the gas peddle didn't work and I don't remember what it said I was a wreck.

We experienced a spontaneous sunroof explosion. Vehicle was towed to the dealership. Sunroof is being replaced under warrenty. The vehicle is presently stored underroof at Barkley GMC, Tuscaloosa, AL. After the very loud explosion, I pulled to the side of the road and engaged On-Star for a wrecker. There were no warning lights... just a spontaneous explosion ... blew out the entire sunroof.

Electrical System

Check engine light came on first and then the infotainment went blank for three days. Took to dealership for the software update which shut the infotainment system down completely.

EA26006 · Electronic Brake Module Component Failure

Opened Aug 21, 2026 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes

On April 11, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE24011 after receiving complaints concerning a loss of brake assist in 2023 MY Cadillac Lyriq vehicles. These complaints allege a hard brake pedal, followed by a “Brake System Failure” message at start up or while driving. GM shared records regarding several internal investigations for loss of brake assist due to alleged spindle fractures in the eBoost system. GM has stated that in the event of a spindle fracture, anti-lock brakes (ABS), stability control, and traction control remain functional until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. At this point, ABS, brake assist, stability control, and traction control functions are lost. The loss of these functions causes the vehicle to set one of three Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) based on failed performance criteria for the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). These DTCs, in turn, activate several driver alerts: an audible chime, a visual “Service Brake System” message in the display, and multiple illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lights (MILs) for the ABS, Traction Control, and Brakes informing the driver of loss of functionality. The vehicle speed will also be limited to 70 KPH (43 MPH). Since opening PE24011, ODI has continued to receive reports of loss of brake assist. Some of these reports describe symptoms inconsistent with GM’s description of a spindle failure. These reports allege an immediate loss of brake assist functionality as opposed to the loss occurring after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The sudden loss of brake assist during a braking event could result in extended braking distance, which increases the risk of a crash or injury. ODI believes further analysis is necessary to assess the potential for failures in GM’s eBoost system to resulting in safety-related outcomes. At this time, ODI is aware of the following vehicles that are equipped with this eBoost system: 2023-2026 MY Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon; 2024-2026 MY Buick Enclave, Envision; Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Traverse; Cruise Origin; and GMC Acadia; 2025-2026 MY Cadillac Celestiq and Optiq. ODI is also aware of 2024-2026 MY Acura ZDX and 2024-2026 MY Honda Prologue vehicles that were built with this system. The Acura and Honda vehicles were manufactured by GM in a joint venture with Honda, and will be included in the Engineering Analysis as peer vehicles. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis to further assess the safety-related consequences of a failed eBoost system. In addition, ODI is expanding the scope of the investigation to encompass all GM vehicles that share this eBoost system.
