Transmission shifts to a low gear and will not upshift causing the vehicle to only go about 10 mph @4,ooo rpm. Dealer says it is a solenoid in the transmission that has failed.

While practicing parallel parking in the vehicle for about 1 hour, upon leaving the parking lot, there was a message that popped up on the dashboard reading, âSERVICE BRAKE ASSISTâ. When driving the vehicle out the parking lot, the brakes were hard when pressing and the vehicle took a while to brake. I found myself braking at a far distance in order to stop the car at the nearest stop light. I turned my emergency lights and drove carefully home, since the engine light came on, which I parked

When driving early in the morning to drop off my kids to school, we are driving on a highway, crossing a bridge, no cars on either side, no houses either, when all of a sudden the rear left window has a loud POP, and then shatters completely. This was an exploding window out of no where, with nobody around and no other cars near by to cause this accident. The glass fell all over my body and I could not move until the vehicle was safely pulled over. This was concerning because my 1 year old was s

When I took my car out my garage one afternoon, I heard a loud noise that my car was making from the outside of the vehicle. The sound was super loud and made my vehicle sound like a race car reving up, every time I pressed on the gas and then when I pressed on the brakes, it made a screeching/ rattling noise. Come to find out when looking underneath the exhaust pipe underneath the car is hanging off, looks like the mounting bracket separated. Then there was a big visible hole as well. I decide

Car was ârepairedâ at the Elco dealership where the vehicle was purchased. The vehicle had 25,597 miles on it.
The second major safety issue with this vehicle occurred on 5/15/2025 when we lost control of the vehicle while traveling on the highway.

Steering was nearly impossible as the wheel felt loc
My alternator died 4 weeks ago. My mechanic can't find one anywhere. He was told GM does not make them for this model yet. I only have 50,000 mi and bought this vehicle brand new. I'm extremely disappointed! My three Young kids and I ended up on the side of the road which was more than a little scary
I was driving and the vehicle lost since power, I was unable to roll down the windows. And then the car just stalled. Luckily I was aware of it stalling so I pulled over in a residential area and came aaa. They sent out a battery service technician, he read the battery, the battery was ok but the alternator had low voltage. (Picture attached) so they recommend not to drive it and so I had to call for a tow truck to come. We bought a battery charger, it charges up to 12 but when we put it into
