“My instrument panel cluster went black while the vehicle remained operational. The speedometer, warning lights, warning chimes, PRNDL/gear display, and dashboard are all non-functional. We checked fuses and performed a battery reset. The issue remains unresolved. This creates a significant safety concern, as I have no access to vehicle speed, warning lights, a gear indicator, or safety alerts while driving. I am requesting that this issue be formally documented and investigated as a potential safety defect involving the instrument cluster/electrical system.”Owner report · Electrical System · May 2026
“Park Assist was not installed during production with retrofit to be done. Vehicle was manufactured in June 2022. Still no retrofit. Safety issue!!”Owner report · Back Over Prevention · Oct 2023
“Service safety restraint message displays. Sunroof, all parts will not function when attempted. Nothing happens. Airbag light indicates "off" Safety is critical in a vehicle and must be reliable and function properly. Vehicle servicer has confirmed the safety restraint issue, but sun roof issue is pending servicers confirmation.”Owner report · Air Bags · Jul 2023

“The collision warning system allows you to choose whether you want beeps or just seat vibration. I always chose beeps. But the vehicle randomly switches out of this and goes to seat vibration without me doing anything. This has happened numerous times, and the first time contributed to me, backing into another vehicle. I asked, my service department to check it and of course nothing showed up because it happens randomly. Just yesterday as I was pulling into my garage I was waiting for it to beep and nothing. So I put it in park and checked the vehicle settings, and once again, it was not on beeps, although I had never taken it off. I'm disgusted with the safety feature that is not working.”Owner report · Back Over Prevention · Jul 2023
“The Buick died due to a fuel pump control module. This happened in a busy intersection. We were unable to force car into neutral so it could be pushed out of traffic . Ninth minutes later a tow truck showed up and had to drag car onto roll back. We have exhausted attempts with GM and its dealers and no answers. I also have a 2021 Gmc pickup with push button start and same problem. This is a major safety problem and a danger to driver and passenger .”Owner report · Power Train · Apr 2023
“Service Safety Restraint System warning and Airbag light comes on and off multiple times a day. Onstar and Dealer state they cannot recreate issue or find a code. I have pictures of the warning. It is very distracting when driving and warning bells are sounding and messages are popping up that take my eyes off the road. This vehicle has ~2500 miles and began at ~2400 miles.”Owner report · Air Bags · Aug 2022
