TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Upon inspection when repairing a flat at a tire service center, I was alerted to the fact that my tread on all 4 tires was low almost to the wear markings. The tires only had at the time 15,000 miles on them and the car is less than 3 years old. I would have not known to check this as it is not in the usual lifespan of a tire, especially on a new car. When reviewing my past inspections at service appointments with my Chevrolet dealership, I can see that they have noted the wear but not alerted me. My tire size is 235/65 R18.

ENGINE
Chevy is aware that this vehicle has a fuel pump failure issue. We were not. The vehicle lost all power while my wife was driving on a very busy Fla highway. She attempted to pull the car over to the shoulder. She was in the far-left lane. It had no shoulder. She was unable to make it completely over to the right shoulder due to having no power. Her car was still in part of the right traveling lane of traffic. This put her at great risk of being rear ended by vehicles going 70 mph and possibly killed. She was 60 miles from home, and I could not reach her intime, so a friend nearby helped. When I visited my chevy dealer and expressed my anger over what just happened they informed me that the same thing happened to another customer. Fuel pump failure. Chevy tells us that the fuel pump is on back order over 2 weeks. Chevy is aware of this very dangerous defect and has done nothing about it. Some maybe killed as a result. Losing power on a busy high going 70 mph is very dangerous. Information on the fuel pump failure for this vehicle can be found online. Thank you

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I purchased this car in May 2023.Since day 1 one the car stalls after filling and out of nowhere. Can be sitting still or going down the highway and highway sped. I took it on snd they could not find anything. Was told to keep track of when it happens. After almost being rear ended several tons and being put in extreme safety I called them and took it back in . They have now had since 9/21/2023 saying they’re some kid of valve problem in the gas tank. So I am paying for a brand new car that is unsafe to drive and is at the dealer for who knows how long .

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Receiving 3 different errors on dash display. 1) Action Required- No Remote Detected 2) Action Required- No Remote Detected Press Brake to Restart 3) No Remote Key Wa Detected Place Key In Transmitter Pocket Then Start Your Vehicle. All of these errors are intermittent and have appeared with using 2 different Remotes. Batteries have been replaced also. This in itself is not so much a safety hazard (annoying), but what is intermittently happening is the car shuts down while in drive and in reverse. So far it has not shut down on the freeway but has shut down while on City streets. We have taken it to 2 different GM Dealers a total of 7 times in the last 3 months(currently at the dealer now). Each time the dealer is saying they cannot duplicate the errors. We get it back and within 1 (usually the same day)day it is right back with the errors. Clearly these errors are a nuisance and dangerous if the vehicle shuts down. I have additional service documents and photos and videos but due to the maximum I can provide they are not uploaded.

SERVICE BRAKES
The breaks make a squealing noise all the time which is concerning. I was told by Beaver Chevrolet that this is normal as the breaks were changed in newer car models. They have made a squealing noise ever since I bought the car brand new. I took the car into Beaver Chevrolet approximately 4 months ago and was told that they were unable to replace the breaks because they "weren't squealing bad enough". They did spray my breaks down, however they told me that once I hit 36,000 miles if the issue was still occuring (which it will be) that I would have to pay to have the breaks sprayed. The issue persisted and the spray they used only lasted a few days. Typically breaks should not squeal unless they have gone bad, which isn't the case here. I find this issue to be a safety hazard as how are customers supposed to know when their breaks actually do go bad if they squeal all the time. The issue was reproduced, but it is unclear what their standard is for determining the actual noise to breaking ratio.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
I am not sure I picked the correct ADAS, however, on 3/4/23 we purchased this auto from Beck Nissian in Palatka Florida. When we purchased this auto it was a used car that had not been owned for very long. We were never told that there were factory recalls that were necessary so that all of the options this auto would work correctly. On July 14 I was in a very busy parking lot and back into a truck damaging my auto. I understand backing up is my responsibility but this auto needed a recall for the back up alert to be put on this auto. I believe if this auto had the options it was suppose to have I could of avoided this accident. This accident cost me a 600 deductible plus extra rental as I needed a larger vehicle because my husband is in a wheelchair. I truly feel that either the dealer or manufacturer should help with these expenses. I have contacted both to no avail. Your help would be appreciated.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The DIC (Driver Information Center) keeps failing since I bought the car. The volume shoots up, the controls will not work, the screen freezes and then goes black, the rear camera stays on in forward motion, it does not always reset after turning off vehicle and opening door. My dealership replaced the module and reprogrammed it. This did not work and it failed shortly after. It went back in the shop again - GM did not have an update for my vin to correct the issue. The dealer is ordering another new DIC this month. It is alarming to be driving the veh and have the volume shoot up to the max and the controls on screen, button or steering wheel will not allow you to fix it. You have to pull over quickly, turn off veh and open door for it to reset. It occurs regularly in my veh. This is a safety issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving on the highway at speeds above 60 MPH, the engine shut off. There was a slight shuttering immediately prior, but no other indication. I had to pull over, across three lanes of traffic, during rush hour, in a fairly heavy rain and became a disabled vehicle on the shoulder. After being towed to the dealer, it was determined that the fuel pump was faulty. The vehicle had 4,954 miles on it so there was no reason for this part to have failed so early.
