The turbo went out on the car for absolutely no reason. Message popped up on dash board saying "Engine power reduced". I have seen this happen to many many many other card across the country. It does not many how many miles are on the car. some Ive seen 25k and some ive seen at 60k. Shouldn't Chevy be recalling and fixing the part? Seems unfair to me as a consumer. Who has thousands of dollars to get that repaired?

The ABS system in this vehicle flashes warnings at quick restarts and while holding the brake down, it has no “sponge” when this happens. The brakes squeal constantly.

The ABS system in this vehicle flashes warnings at quick restarts and while holding the brake down, it has no “sponge” when this happens. The brakes squeal constantly. I’ve had them inspected at every single maintenance and there can be no flaw found. When driving on the interstate, the engine is very “jerky” almost like the transmission can’t keep up with the speed of 70-80mph (not always, but it is noticeable when it happens). At first I didn’t think much of it but with the mass recall of chevys identified, I believe it needs to go on record - particularly about the brakes.

[XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Date: 04/06/2025 To: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, D.C. 20590 Subject: Urgent Safety Complaint Regarding Shyft DualRide with Carryall Storage Infant Car Seat and Stroller Combo (Sylva Pink) Dear NHTSA, I am writing to formally report a serious safety issue with one of your products: the Shyft DualRide with Carryall Storage Infant Car Seat and Stroller Combo (Sylva Pink), which I purchased on [XXX]. While using this product with my infant daughter, a dangerous malfunction occurred which resulted in a choking incident. The stroller/car seat combo posed a serious threat to her safety, and we are deeply shaken by what happened. Thankfully, we were able to intervene in time, but the potential for harm—or worse—was undeniable. We believe the design or construction of this unit may contain a defect that compromises child safety, and for that reason, we are reporting this incident not only to you, the manufacturer, but also to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for review and investigation. The product information is as follows:     •    Product: Shyft DualRide with Carryall Storage Infant Car Seat and Stroller Combo     •    Color: Sylva Pink     •    Date of Purchase: [XXX]     •    Retailer: Walmart     •    Serial/Model Number:[XXX] We request that this matter be addressed immediately. I am seeking a formal response, an investigation into the product line, and information on any existing recalls or known defects. I am also requesting a full refund or replacement, though no compensation can account for the distress and danger we experienced. Please contact me as soon as possible to confirm receipt of this complaint and to let me know the next steps. I am available by phone or email. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The sunroof fabric roll came off of the track when attempting to open the sunroof. Yes it is still off the track I have yet to get it fixed due to time restraints. It poses a risk because of the loud noise it makes until you stop the opening of the sunroof. As many individuals open their sunroof while driving it poses a risk of being a major distraction if and when this happens. I have not taken it to get repaired yet but I did report it to the customer service via the my Chevrolet app. It did not give off any warnings or lights prior to the failure .. it was a sudden failure that shocked me when it occurred as I couldn’t figure out how to stop it to begin with
