| Mar 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I bought the vehicle new and the next day, I noticed a distortion on the passenger and drivers side windshield. When I drive it makes me nauseous and dizzy.

| Mar 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | There are 2 big and long distortions in the windshield that effect the view.

There is one on the right and left side of the windshield effecting the view of both sides. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Both the speedometer/digital information center and radio went black while driving. I had no access to either of these for about 5-7 seconds. I had cruise control set at the time, and it did not affect my speed. I heard a “click” after everything went black and after restarting, it was normal. My red indicator above the steering wheel flashed a couple times and the radio came on first, then the speedometer. It would be available for inspection upon request. This put both mine and others’ safety at risk. I had no way to see my speed, cruise setting, or access any of my tools that uses either this or the radio to function. This has not happened again, I have reported the issue to the dealership the next day with no contact back. It has not been inspected, and there were no warning lamps or indication of the problem before it happened. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Nov 2024 | STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER | Two major complaints this Vechile #1 The current std operating control features are a flat out Safety Issue NO-ONE has taken into account the display of to name a few such as Fan-Speed Hi/Low, AC On/Off ,Heated Seat adjustment you cannot View while driving during daytime hours or late afternoon 1-2 hrs before dark But you can view 100% only when the Sun is directly behind you ( THEY DO NOT LITE UP UNTIL ITS NIGHT TIME & ONLY AT NIGHT) You might be laughing well zip it up ( WHY IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD) it’s not funny Gone is Std button or knob you can reach and adj .Trying do certain adjustments I find myself wandering off the highway onto Rumble strips searching for control of certain p.b. #2 This car while Traveling on [XXX] threw PA into Ohio with only 500+ miles we come up on quick stop Traffic back up ( TRYING TO QUICKLY TURN ON THE HAZARD WARNING SW —-NOT FOUND )2-days latter still have not found I should not have to be searching the I/Net or reading some now small portion of a new idea shortened version of a operators manual Basic functions we all should be able to Operate any Brand Vehicle Not this Car this [XXX] design Control Panel is a Ralph Nader example of how to Distract every driver behind the wheel. Also a lot of overall reviews many give this car great reviews But No One Takes Ease of Std Operator Functions into Account of any Safety Factor and I don’t trust you or any Government Agency will be telling GM this design of Std Control access eventually will cause many accidents . Oh yes everyone makes a big deal about one talking on a cell phone that is an Ticket in waiting pales as a Joke to just plain driving this Vehicle ( IT IS A VERY DISTRACTING NIGHTMARE ) thanks [XXX] Camden NY Cell [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
