The steering feels like it's grinding when reaching 60mph. If the wheel is turned left of center, roughly between 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock it will start grinding. If moved from that position, the grinding stops. GM says the part is out of warranty. The vehicle has 41,000 miles and the cost to repair is $7000. I see many others with the same problem.

Owner report 11756613 · 2026-08-12 (August 12, 2026)
Car was going into neutral unexpectedly with a message of "two gears selected". Very disorienting as with the one pedal driving mode I was expecting the car to slow and kept moving faster than expected. Luckily nothing happened as I jammed on my breaks. I was reversing towards a hill in my yard that leads to some woods Brought the car to the dealership, and they said the transmission control module failed after 3 years 9 months in service and ~48000 miles. Paid $2000 as it was not covered under warranty

Started the vehicle then attempted to shift into reverse, got "Conditions not correct for shift" error displayed on dashboard. Could also not shift into drive. I was able to shift into neutral and have it towed. I tried powering down and back on. Powered off, locked the car and walked out of keyfob range for 10min then returned and tried again. Nothing worked. Eventually the problem cleared up on it's own by the time the tow truck arrived (45min later)

I just bought this vehicle this Sunday. I drove about 400 miles and Wednesday, I got warning ⚠️ electric drive unit ⚠️. Yesterday I took my car to dealership and got call from them that auxiliary transmission issue and they will replace it. Car is still at the dealership, now we are afraid to drive that car and what if it jeopardizes our safety. We drive a lot for work as a home health provider.
