Electric emergency brake light engaged engaged parking brake. Parking brake is unable to be disengaged with the control making the vehicle unable to move. Car is able to be put in drive, reverse and neutral but cannot move as the brakes are locked. Car is on the way to a dealership for them to look at it but without knowing what causes this or when it could be a safety concern to anyone driving or who needs to use their vehicle to get away.
When in reverse abrupt automatic braking occurs. Safety hazard with abrupt stop around other vehicles, hard braking causes driver and passenger to pitch forward. No warning. Automatic Braking disabled, sensors checked, settings adjusted by dealer. Dealer says there is nothing they can do. General Motors contacted but no action taken to date.
Headlights on vehicle “droop” after driving 20 minutes or more. They start off okay and then become non existent l, pointing directly down toward the pavement in front of the vehicle and you can’t see more than 1 car length in front of you. You must turn the vehicle off and then back on to reset the headlights to drive. This is a huge safety issue for driving at night.

Driver assist forward continues to have issues after being at dealer for issue for 4 weeks for repair After getting car back from dealer for the first three days the error did not come up. Now the error comes and goes daily. Issue happens when approaching stop lights stop signs where there is nothing in front of you starts vibrating seat and slams on breaks. Same stop sign as yesterday but today it vibrates warnings Makes not sense.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Multiple components of our driver assistance software have failed, beyond what we can check in the fields above. Most recently, we have experienced two major failures. The first failure occurred when the car triggered the emergency parking brake on its own while we were driving in traffic at 30 mph. We narrowly avoided being rear ended. This is the incident I've detailed in the fields below. The second failure occurred when the adaptive cruise co…
