Read full complaint

This vehicle experiences multiple recurring safety-critical system failures while driving, creating a dangerous operating condition for both the driver and the public. 1. Dashboard / Instrument Cluster Failure While Driving While the vehicle is in motion, the dashboard display intermittently shuts off completely. When this occurs, I cannot see my speed, warning lights, battery status, or any other gauges. This creates a severe safety risk because I am effectively driving without any instrument information. The issue occurs while actively operating the vehicle on public roads. 2. Navigation / GPS Location Failure The vehicle’s built-in mapping system frequently shows my location several states away from my actual position. Even though the location is incorrect, the system continues to provide turn-by-turn navigation instructions based on the incorrect location. If these directions were followed, it could cause a driver to make unsafe maneuvers or become distracted while attempting to correct the navigation error. 3. False Automatic Emergency Braking Activation The automatic braking system frequently activates even when there are no vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles present. The vehicle abruptly slows or brakes on open roads with nothing nearby. This creates a significant safety hazard because it could cause a rear-end collision if another vehicle is following. Repair History / Ongoing Issue: This vehicle has been taken in for repair multiple times for these issues. Despite attempted repairs, the problems continue to occur. The recurring nature of these failures indicates a systemic defect that has not been corrected. Safety Concern: These failures create multiple hazardous driving conditions: Loss of dashboard information while driving Incorrect navigation location and directions Unintended automatic braking events Allowing this vehicle to remain in service with these unresolved defects places both the driver and the public at risk. Request: I am requesti

Blinker arm often bounces back to the opposite direction when the blinker automatically cancels once you have made your turn. As an example if I have left blinker on after I complete my turn it often bounces back over to the right side turning the right blinker for a few flashes.

The signal continues to bounce back too hard after many right turns and light up my left signal about three times. Additionally, it's sometimes difficult to engage the right turn signal at all.

Right rear tail light failure. Does not light up with headlamps on or when braking and flashes very fast when signal is turned on. Get a warning message on the info screen stating "Right Rear lamp failure" every time I signal a right turn. Dealer documented issue but states that this is a known issue with no fix at this time and GM instructed dealer to not attempt any repairs at this time. This is a known issue in the GM forums about this vehicle and it is always the right rear LED lamp that has this problem. Potential safety issue when no brake light lights on that side of the car and the fast flashing directional may be confusing to traffic.

There is an interment issue with my passenger, rear turn signal. Once activated, it will flash three times, and then display a "Check Right Rear Turn Lamp" message. My front and mirror light still flash, but flash rapidly to indicate an issue with the rear signal. The rear signal does not flash, but periodically will flash quickly for 2-3 flashes and go out again. The dealership stated it "...could be a list of things..." and are currently trying to find a resolution. The vehicle had a stored "low amperage" code when the dealership pulled the codes. This first happened early morning on 11/13/24 and again happened early morning on 11/14/24. Obviously having an interment rear turn signal is a safety issue.

On multiple occasions the electrical system of my car has gone completely haywire. Various error messages display on the dash referencing problems with almost all car systems including: high voltage battery warning, reduced acceleration, power steering failure, and others. These error message occur in conjunction with the display screens flickering, all the fixed dash warning lights coming on, and the heater turning on full blast without my input. The blinkers also stop working during these electrical events which is a safety hazard to other vehicles. I have taken the car into the dealer multiple times but they still don't know how to fix it. Software updates have not worked. I have pictures and videos of the events occurring. I have also read on message boards that other Blazer EV owners have this exact same problem.

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.
