Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Telematics and OnStar communication modules fail, sometimes tied to a defective part GM had already been replacing on other models.
  • Infotainment screens black out, reboot while driving, or stop working entirely, which owners say knocks out the rearview camera.
  • Vehicles have failed to start with low battery power warnings, and replacing the battery did not fix the problem.
  • A complete electrical shutdown occurred while driving, cutting power to the dash, lights, and controls with no warning.
  • Instrument panel clusters have gone black or shown glitching, flashing lines, making the speedometer unreadable.
  • Software updates tied to a recall have been linked to loss of OnStar/telematics function afterward.

    General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Cadillac CT4 and CT5; 2021-2023 Buick Envision; and 2022-2023 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles.
