1 Warning problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2024

I am writing to complain about that general motors has issued a retrofit program for 2022 model vehicles that did not come with safety features due to the microchip shortage. I purchased my vehicle new in 2021 and the vehicle did not have the option of having safety features at the time of purchase. I find not having the safety features in a large vehicle to be a safety concern for those that use the vehicle or around the vehicle. General motors should add the 2021 model vehicles that also did not have the ability to have those features on them added as a part of their retrofit program.

2 Warning problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2023

Vehicle experiences a failure to the lane departure warning and intellibeam headlamps functions, primarily at night. Trouble first began on 3/12/2023 and has been to two gm dealerships for 11 repairs and the problem is still unresolved. Gm executive escalations have been opened and the problem is still unresolved. Their response is that 18 vehicles experienced this problem and the resolution was to clean the front windshield and update the camera software. This truck has had the camera replaced and software updated three times by two different dealerships. Gm is now stating they are unwilling to resolve the problem any further and they would no longer send any field engineers to investigate the problem. I have numerous photos, videos and repair logs from with the problem and resolutions performed. Nature of problem: at night, the indicator button for selecting the lane departure warning will go out. If the button is depressed, a message in the dic indicates lane departure warning unavailable and there is no way to activate the ldw. It also causes the intellibeam headlamps to not work. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
