Adaptive cruise failed just over 2k miles following another vehicle under 60mph and sped up to set cruise of 75 and would have hit the truck if I didn’t stop it, I took video of failure directly after the incident. First bolt EUV camera failed more than once even after it was replaced, that car was bought back under battery recall. My point is, it’s a continued issue. With lane keep assist you must always be prepared for it not to function, it doesn’t always work and have to cycle the on/off button (same with previous EUV too). While in super cruise in my current vehicle it tried to locate the left lane but a big rig was on the line and my car appeared it was going to hit the truck multiple times within a few seconds as each time I had to bring the car back to the center until I turned it off. I have parts on order but I personally don’t believe that will be the end of based upon my two vehicles.

Near my work place, I drove by that intersection a numerous times. One day, when I almost finished making the left turn, it suddenly gave me collision warning and suddenly took brake on the left front wheel by itself for about 1 second. There was nothing in front of me.

While merging onto a highway with a 60 mph speed limit, we got an error message that there was a propulsion system error and our speed was limited to 30 mph. Our car slowed down and could not accelerate. There was no warning before the speed was limited and no way to change course. It was Saturday night Nov. 25th and we had our one and half year old daughter in the backseat. Thank god my husband was able to react quickly and that there was shoulder for us to pull over on. Honestly we could have been killed or seriously injured. It’s a huge safety issue that the car will suddenly, without any warning, prevent you from going above a certain speed. The purpose is to protect the car, as I understand it, but there should at the very least be a countdown. I’m incredibly grateful I can report this to and that there wasn’t a tragic accident, but if this how this feature operates, it only a matter of time before there is one. Also there is less than 1000 miles on our car.

Unknown Or Other

Incident #23E065 Has a recall on the CHARGER and NOT the car itself. The car is not impacted but my ability to sell the car is. This needs to be changed so that I am able to sell the car, which has no defects, and is perfectly safe and drivable.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Transmission Fluid Pump failed, and is needing to be replaced. The car only had 200 miles on it and was bought 5 days prior before the issue began. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The car immediatley reduced my speed to 30mph. I was driving on an expressway, and caused me to slow traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yea, I have the error code given to me by OnStar: P2797 Auxilliary Transmission Fluid Pump error Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has been brought into a Chevrolet service center and awaiting for a replacement part from GM. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The check engine light came on and then the car immediately slowed my speed.

At less than 300 miles on odometer and while charging at a level 2 charger I checked my Chevy app and saw a warning for service airbag system. I had just checked it 15 mins prior and it was not on. Now it has an airbag light on…at 291 miles on the car. In car it says service safety restraint system. Still have to make a 200 mile trip back to my town in a couple days. Definitely frustrating for a car I have only had a week.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - I believe it is the electrical component, or wiring component that is under the hood. It spontaneously caught on fire in the middle of the night with no indication of arson or outside source. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Definitely a safety concern since how would anyone know if their car will not spontaneously catch on fire while driving, parked, inside a garage? Not only my own safety concern, but for my family and neighboring houses/cars' safety as well. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? GM Claims department only stated that they went by NFPA921-2021. However, no detailed report was produced, or at least they say it never did, even though we requested more than two dozen times. And evidently, just closed the case without giving us a valid reasoning or evidence of anything. And as for the NFPA921-2021, it is two years old already. Please keep in mind that GM had this car for almost 3 months for investigation but no report, reasoning, or any valid understanding for a consumer's point of view. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? GM said they did but no investigation report or work report or anything related to that has been provided. NO EVIDENCE, NO TRAIL, NO INVESTIGATION REPORT. Only denial letter. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear None of the warnings were shown prior to this. 3 months of investigation from GM, but no reports, no investigation report was produced or provided. How can we as a consumer, believe what they are doing is valid and fair?

We were driving slowly in Los Angeles traffic, trying to pick up a little speed, when the car suddenly seized up -- as it seemed to slam its brakes.

We were driving slowly in Los Angeles traffic, trying to pick up a little speed, when the car suddenly seized up -- as it seemed to slam its brakes. We nearly had heart attacks, because there was traffic behind us, and the car behind us could easily have slammed into us. We didn't notice anything on the dash. We don't believe the car was trying to warn us about an imminent forward collision, because there were no "beep beep beeps" as there typically are when it senses a forward threat. Just a sudden breaking, and then it was fine again. Happy to have anyone inspect the car upon request, though I have my doubts they'd find anything. Note that there are already several other complaints about this car that have reported exactly the same problem. It really should be investigated!
