Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Steering
Filed Nov 7, 2026

When driving at high way speeds at certain spots while turning the steering feels like it locks up and binds up. Only by forcing it harder will it un catch and free up. It is very dangerous and scary when your not expecting it. It used to only happen once and awhile when I bought the car 3 years ago, now it feels like it happens on every drive. I also saw recall campaign number 25v175000. That sounds just like my issue. I will need to be added to this please.

The bolt that attaches my seat to the rail that is attached the floor of the car broke. I am 155 pounds, was getting into my car to drive. I heard something, sounded like I might have dropped on the floor of the car. As I put my car into reverse I notice a small movement in my seat. As I begun to drive a standard the seat started to come up and rock towards the back. (Similar to how a rocking chair works) I am extremely concerned that a critical seat mounting bolt could break during ordinary use without warning. A driver's seat must remain securely attached to the vehicle to allow the driver to maintain proper control of the pedals and steering wheel. In this incident, the seat's movement directly interfered with my ability to operate the accelerator safely. This very dangerous and should not have happened. I have contacted the company that sold me the car and GM motors, and they have refused to fix the issues and stated that it is my responsible to pay to get it fixed. [XXX], staff even recommended me to drive my car to their dealership to have it looked at. Even though, it was unsafe to drive, which was also stated by other auto motive companies that it was not safe to drive.

On September 21st at 11:00am, I turned on my vehicle and a message stating: drive with care service power steering appeared on my dash. When I attempted to put the vehicle in drive and pull out of my parking spot, my steering wheel was completely locked. I could not turn left or right at all. I put the vehicle back in park and turned the vehicle off. I then contacted USAA to set up a tow as the vehicle was not safe to drive at that point. There is also a recall associated with my 2017 Chevy Camaro, N182182760-03-LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, this recall revision 03 came out Aug 1, 2019. This is my current issue with my vehicle, which is also associated with this recall. When I spoke with a GM representative over the phone, I was instructed to reach out to NHTSA to have my vehicle added to the recall list being that the incident matches with the recall occurrence and my vehicle year and model.
