I began experiencing multiple mechanical and safety-related issues within the first few hundred miles of ownership. These include a persistent metallic ticking noise from the engine compartment, sluggish acceleration, infotainment screen freezing and Bluetooth malfunction, Lane Keep Assist attempting to steer the vehicle into another lane at highway speeds, and a non-responsive brightness knob. These issues pose safety risks and match known GM bulletins (e.g., 23-NA-094, 24-NA-242, 24-NA-063, PIT6362). I-??ve scheduled my first service appointment for October 31, 2025, and installed a dash cam to document future incidents. I am concerned about the vehicle-??s reliability and safety.

Bought my car June 3 2025. 8-10-25 at the dealer for another issue I mentioned about hear a squeek in the engine compartment, more so with the air on. Dealer stats can't hear squeek. Had to take back again on 9-9 for the other issue again and told dealer about still hearing squeek. Dealer stats can't hear unless removing oil cap and that there is a tsb that it's normal? Stated my mother's 25 year old car does not squeek and I don't think a new car should squeek. Dealer stated again, said to be normal.

We-??ve only had the vehicle for a few months and while we were driving the engine rod basically broke in pieces damaging the engine and almost causing us to wreck. After looking at the other GM engines being recalled for engine rod issues and complete engine failure. This sounds like the same incident and needs to also be added to this. It-??s put us out and almost caused us to wreck after only 11k miles on the vehicle.

I am very unsure what is going on, but when I am in reverse my whole dash loudly rattles and vibrates the whole car. My front door speakers also keep going out with makes me think we may have a wiring issue.

FUEL RAIL SYSTEM - The check engine light came on after only three days/156 miles! OnStar was contacted and a diagnostic was run indicating "The Engine and Transmission System is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the Fuel Management System used to maintain control and monitor fuel consumption." I took the vehicle back to the dealership and was advised that the fuel rail system needed to be replaced but the part(s) are not available and there is no projected date of arrival. NOTE: The vehicle has been sitting at the Service Center since December 28, 2024 awaiting necessary repairs.

On October 22, 2025 I drove 10 miles from my home. I turned off and parked the vehicle at approx. 8:58 AM. Within 2 minutes I notices quite a bit of smoke coming from under the hood. I called the fire department and within 10 minutes the entire front of the car was on fire. The vehicle from front bumper through the dashboard was completely destroyed. There were no warning lights on. I purchased the vehicle on June 5th 2024. My INsurance co. did the appraisal and deemed it a total loss of course. The Dealership AND General Motors refuse to do anything to investigate. I have documentation of all calls. General Motors told me they do not put anything in writing.

Evaporator has gone out. Dealer confirmed. Parts on back-order. No warnings, AC just stopped blowing out cold air. While the windows can still roll down, on extremely hot days if AC isn't working, could cause health problems to some users.
