Software/Infotainment glitches (AAOS) — System crashes, laggy response, backup camera failures, frequent need for reboots. Primarily affects 2022+ models. Frequency: very frequent.
Hybrid system complexity and reliability concerns — High repair costs for HV components (e.g., on-board charger, high-voltage heater), concerns about long-term durability of the supercharged/turbocharged engine in pre-2022 T8 models, and specific issues with early-generation electric rear axles (ERAD). Frequency: very frequent.
Poor winter/snow traction in T8 hybrid mode — Embarrassingly bad performance when the gasoline engine needs to engage for traction; requires switching to Constant AWD mode. Frequency: recurrent.
Ride quality with large wheels — Harsh ride and excessive road noise reported with factory 22-inch wheel and tire combinations. Frequency: recurrent.
First-generation automatic transmission failures (GM 4T65) — Prone to failure, especially when paired with the T6 bi-turbo engine. Frequency: recurrent (for applicable models).
