Following vehicle startup, the entire audio system defaults to a muted state, affecting all sound output channels. This includes, but is not limited ?critical safety alerts: seat belt warnings, system malfunction indicators, and door ajar chimes. ?proximity and collision warnings: parking assist chimes, rear cross-traffic alert (rcta) warnings, and backup collision intervention (bci) alerts. ?communication systems: navigation prompts and hands-free/bluetooth call audio. ?the audio failure persists until manual user intervention or the next vehicle cycle, disabling critical warning redundancy. ?safety implications ?the system-wide audio failure directly compromises the safety of vehicle occupants and surrounding pedestrians in two primary ways: ?risk to pedestrians: the silencing of proximity and backup collision warnings (rcta, bci) removes a vital layer of redundancy, significantly increasing the risk of striking vulnerable road users, such as children, while maneuvering in reverse. ?impaired driver safety & compliance: the defect also removes essential alerts like seat belt warnings and renders the mandated hands-free communication system inoperable, forcing potential driver distraction or non-compliance with driving regulations. ?conclusion ?this audio muting defect is a critical safety failure that disables mandated auditory warning systems, severely limiting the driver's ability to operate the vehicle safely and respond to immediate, unseen hazards. Immediate investigation and resolution are necessary.
Truck has been in and out of the shop since July. For more than 70 days total. I received a printout from a chevy dealership in georgia that indicated the main computer system lost communication with other components 11 times. It indicated it lost communication with the brake system control module three times and lost communication with the engine control module twice. Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounds rather serious. I've been trying since July to get gm or the dealership to buyback or replace my vehicle. Neither had any interest whatsoever. After I provided the attached photo to gm, they decided to buy my vehicle back. Seems that this issue is bigger than I know and surely needs some oversight from NHTSA so no one gets seriously injured due to gm's carelessness to address issues when they were brought up.

On July 1st, 2023, I purchased a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 from orielly Chevrolet in tucson, arizona. On July 2nd, 2023, an error message popped up on the dash, “park assist blocked see owner’s manual”. It continued to happen on and off til this very day. The dealership "attempted" to fix the issue, but it obviously hasn't been resolved. Due to equipment being faulty, the chances of an accident whilst back up are significantly increased. At one point on this ordeal, the truck was in the shop for 61 days. It had been in my possession for 18 days. I am currently in the process of a buyback for the vehicle. I had to hire a lemon law attorney. A supervisor from gm advised that gm is refusing a buy back for the vehicle. The vehicle also displayed an error, "key not found" while I was driving at 50mph. A bit unsettling. That error showed up twice on the dash. The dealership said they fixed the issue with a software update. Recently, the vehicle has a ticking noise on the left side of the engine, and the engine idles so low, that it feels like it's going to stall. Those issues haven't been addressed at the shop, because I start a new job on Monday(12/4) and had to drive over 2k miles to get here. Thankfully the truck made it. Not a concern I should have with a brand new vehicle.
Service steering column lock continually appears on my screen. Front collision detectors are also going off for no reason.

Failure of the hmi caused a flickering screen during driving operations with warnings and cautions constantly flashing making it very difficult to concentrate on the road conditions and traffic. Parking the vehicle using the back up camera was also affected making it impossible to see approaching objects from the rear.

Front park assist (fpa) system did not provide any level of advanced alert until after impact when all conditions were fully met as stated in the user's manual for the park assist system. Note: text after bullets are extracts from user's manual while test in () are owner's feedback during incident when fpa failed to alert. •as the vehicle moves at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph) ( the vehicle was going 1-2 mph) •the sensors on the bumpers may detect objects up to 1. 2 m (4 ft) in front (front park assist (fpa) detection was not until pipe contact was made with bumper/sensor) •within a zone 25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and below bumper level. (pipe was in full zone from 0 to >30" high) •blocked sensors will not detect objects and can also cause false detections. Keep the sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and clean sensors after a car wash in freezing temperatures. (the sensor was not blocked in anyway. The truck has never been in mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush. ) •when an object is first detected in the rear, one beep will be heard from the rear, or both sides of the safety alert seat will pulse two times. (initial fpa alert level was never reported) •(there was not an intermediate level description in the user's manual as implemented by gm. Intermediate fpa "yellow" alert was never reported) •or <0. 3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front — a continuous beep will sound (continuous beep from fpa was reported only after contact was made with the pipe) •the park assist system does not detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects located below the bumper or that are too close or too far from the vehicle. (the pipe as an object was above bumper height and passed from outside the range slowly (1-2mph) until contact was made without any alert from the fpa) this is a single occurrence issue and was reported to gm.
