“At least 10 times over the past three months the vehicle’s feature of one pedal driving disengages without a reason or code. When the this happens the vehicle accelerates rapidly. This has happened on local streets and on the highway and often results in a near miss collision. I am concerned this will result in a serious injury or death.”Owner report · Electrical System,Unknown Or Other,Service Brakes · Sep 2025
“On September 9, 2025, while slowly turning into a parking space at approximately 7 mph, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration. There were no warnings, alerts, or Safety Alert Seat vibrations prior to the surge. The vehicle rapidly accelerated forward, struck a parked car, went over a curb, hit a tree, and finally came to rest after colliding with the side of a building. GM has since taken possession of the vehicle for forensic analysis.”Owner report · Vehicle Speed Control,Forward Collision Avoidance · Sep 2025
“While driving in one-pedal driving mode at the high setting, an error message appeared and one-pedal driving suddenly shut off and switched to a more standard drive mode where engine braking is disengaged. This happened while drive was engaged and stopped at a red light. The car briefly lurched forward and the car engaged an emergency brake to prevent the car from rolling into the vehicle in front of me. This incident was unpredictable and resulted in an unexpected change to the drive mode I had selected which could have lead to a collision.”Owner report · Power Train,Vehicle Speed Control,Service Brakes · Aug 2025
“I was driving at a steady 65mph on a highway when the car suddenly surged and the message "1 pedal driving deactivated. Use brakes to stop." I stopped the car with the brakes and restarted it and reactivated 1 pedal driving. Note I was NOT using regenerative braking at the time. The car surged a few miles an hour, and in a heavy traffic scenario could have easily caused a crash.”Owner report · Electrical System,Service Brakes,Engine · Jul 2025
“One pedal driving switched to unavailable while driving - 24 Lyriq AWD I have seen this couple of times while driving now. I keep the one-pedal driving setting on High. I suddenly get an error on Side detection unavailable and One pedal driving turned off - use manual braking. I also feel a slight surge in acceleration while this happens, but I have been able to slow down and re-engage one pedal and it seems to work after that. I am concerned that I may bump into someone in front of me if this happens again, since it has happened a couple of times now!”Owner report · Vehicle Speed Control · Jun 2025
“Since a recent software update, vehicle will unexpectedly give multiple error codes, and disengage “one-pedal driving” mode. This happened recently when coming to a stop at a traffic light behind another vehicle. When coming to a gradual one-pedal stop, the one pedal driving mode unexpectedly disengaged, causing me to almost hit the vehicle in front of me. This error has occurred 5-6 times in the past 3 months.”Owner report · Electrical System,Service Brakes · Jun 2025
