Most people buying a Chevrolet Trax or Trailblazer at their local dealership probably never think about where it came from. The answer is, and has been for a few years, South Korea. GM Korea has now surpassed two million units of current-generation subcompact crossovers built, a milestone the company reached just six years after the first models rolled off the line in 2020. The figure covers the Chevrolet Trax and Trailblazer, along with their Buick siblings, the Envista and Encore GX, all ridin

Used Cars With Significant Warranties General Motors is moving aggressively to strengthen its position in the used-car market by doubling warranty coverage on vehicles sold through its CarBravo platform. Effective January 2026, CarBravo-certified vehicles now come with a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, replacing the previous 6-month/6,000-mile policy. The expanded coverage is included at no additional cost and carries no deductible, a clear attempt to remove friction for

Having multiple apps on your smartphone just to be able to access whatever charging station you come across can be more than a little frustrating, and General Motors knows this. To make living with an EV easier, GM today announced that users can now find, charge, and pay at over 5,000 Electrify America fast-charging stations from within the myChevrolet, myGMC, or myCadillac app, simplifying charging for Equinox EV, Optiq, and Hummer EV owners. This "unified charging experience" means users no lo

General Motors has officially changed its global headquarters to the Hudson’s Detroit complex on Woodward Avenue, moving out of the aging Renaissance Center on the riverfront and back to the street where it first planted its flag in 1911. The new HQ sits in the “Block Building” section of Hudson’s Detroit, a mixed-use development with office space, retail, and a GM showroom at street level. Inside, GM Design leaned on themes from the Eero Saarinen–penned Technical Center in Warren, with clean li

General Motors is reportedly laying off up to 600 information technology (IT) salaried employees globally as the company focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) and other similar skillsets to cut costs. According to unnamed sources familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg, about 500 to 600 IT jobs will be cut, including some at the carmaker’s Warren Technical Center in Michigan.

Factory Zero Slows Down The electric vehicle market has softened considerably since last year. As a result, automakers have been forced to adjust their electrified lineups, and General Motors is no exception. According to Automotive News, GM has once again idled production at its Michigan EV plant, Factory Zero, amid slower-than-expected demand. At the same time, GM is ramping up heavy-duty pickup truck production at its Flint Assembly plant, located north of Factory Zero, to meet rising demand.

'Overly Sensitive' Brake Assist If you own a GM product with Super Cruise and have been experiencing overly sensitive automatic braking, there's currently an issue with the Integrated Brake Assist. The company issued a technical service bulletin for it back in November 2025, targeting 'Unwanted Integrated Brake Assist.' Several models are affected by the issue. GM Authority listed a couple of Cadillac models: Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade IQ, Escalade IQL, and the Vistiq. The Chevrolet Tahoe

General Motors is putting $30 million into workforce training at its Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City as it prepares for three major vehicle launches that will span both electric and gas powertrains. GM says the goal is to keep the plant competitive through a fast transition period, with training aimed at protecting quality and flexibility as the lineup changes. Workforce T

The Chevrolet Malibu reached the end of the line last year, but the now-discontinued affordable midsize sedan isn't out of GM's hair just yet. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, General Motors is recalling the Malibu because of a common problem: its rearview camera doesn't work properly. The problem affects 2023-2025 models, impacting some 271,770 examples of the sedan that were built between May 26, 2022, and July 18, 2024. Unlike several similar rearview camera fa

Transmission Trouble, Again Ford isn’t the only automaker recently dealing with a transmission issue that can lock up the rear wheels. General Motors has issued a recall covering 43,732 full-size SUVs over a similar problem. The issue is related to a 2024 recall (24V797) that affected more than 461,000 vehicles. This time, however, the recall applies to gas-powered models equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. According to the new recall (26V085), certain vehicles may contain a transmi

Sum Of All Parts There are many parts that make up a car; each needs its own maintenance to ensure it operates well under any conditions. A vital part is the braking system, which relies on accredited and tested brake fluids to ensure that the car's braking performance is as consistent and dependable when needed. When the brakes are compromised in any way, braking or slowing the car down will not be as easy or safe as it should be. GM is issuing a recall on brake fluid that seems to affect the s

A Small Recall That Reaches Across Nearly Every GM Brand Hot on the heels of Ford’s recall for older F-150s, GM is now facing its own recall – this time covering a wide range of Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles. The issue isn’t limited to just one type of vehicle; it stretches from full-size SUVs to half-ton pickups. The silver lining: despite the long list of models, only 66 vehicles are actually involved. That includes a few older trucks and SUVs, plus some of the latest 2026 models. This

Heavy-Duty Trucks Under the Microscope No matter how robust they are, heavy-duty trucks aren’t immune to problems. The segment has seen a string of recalls lately, including a recent one for thousands of Ford Super Duty trucks over a driveshaft issue that could cause failure. Now, it’s GM’s turn. Another recall has emerged, this time affecting heavy-duty pickups from Ford’s cross-town rival. The problem isn’t a classic mechanical failure like a driveshaft or axle, but it can still change how the

The Price Barrier Is Real General Motors sold 626,429 vehicles in the first quarter of 2026, down 9.7 percent from the same period last year. That was largely expected, given the rising average price of new vehicles in the U.S., which exceeded $50,000 in December 2025. Even an entry-level Chevrolet Silverado already starts at $36,900, excluding destination fees. However, the downward trend appears far from over. According to The Wall Street Journal, rising fuel prices driven by the ongoing confl

General Motors is starting the year with a fresh skyline address and a carefully chosen message. As it opens the doors to its new headquarters in downtown Detroit, the company is keen to remind everyone that this is more than a new office. GM says its footprint is woven into the US economy at a basic level, from the people it employs to the suppliers it leans on and the towns that grow around its plants. GM

Autonomous Technology Still Matters We've long been hearing how, at some point "in the near future," cars will be able to drive themselves completely. The idea has been tackled by many automotive brands, who are trying their best to perfect the tech and be the revolutionaries of this next major step in human mobility. Over the years, we've seen a slow but gradual increase in well-developed features that could be considered autonomous. ADAS is a common feature now offered in almost all cars, keep

Becoming Rolling Safety Computers As newer cars come with smarter features as standard, it can sometimes feel like automakers are forcing extra tech onto buyers. One of those is advanced driver-assistance systems, though General Motors argues that the technology can significantly reduce crashes and injuries – and it backed the claim with data. In a study conducted with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), GM found that advanced driver-assistance systems helped re

The idea that a manual Corvette C8 could become a reality has taken the internet by storm after Tremec showed a new 6-speed transaxle at the SEMA Show last November. While many fans took that as a sign that General Motors is seriously considering the manual gearbox as a factory option for the C8—after all, Tremec is the official supplier of mid-engine Corvette’s TR-9080 8-speed dual-clutch transmission—the Corvette team shut down the rumors in a rather unusual way. Last week, Corvette chief engi

No Fix Required Two of General Motors’ most affordable vehicles, the Chevrolet Trax and Trailblazer, may exhibit vibrations when parked facing downhill. However, the Michigan automaker says the condition is ‘normal’ and has instructed dealers not to take any further action. The condition is outlined in GM’s dealer service bulletin PIC6553B, as shared by GM Authority. The vibration stems from the engine mount snubber contacting the mount housing when the vehicles are parked facing downhill. For r

Pivoting to Energy Storage Here's some good news. In a Reutersreport, General Motors and LG Energy Solution announced that their Tennessee Ultium Cells plant will be repurposed for lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery production for energy storage products. This represents a significant shift from their previous strategy of focusing solely on electric vehicle battery production. This comes at a time when both companies face slowing demand for their products, resulting in excess battery productio

General Motors has long leaned into the classic American idea of "bigger is better." The company, which includes brands like Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC, is once again at the top when it comes to sheer truck size. According to the latest data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Automotive Trends Report, GM still builds the biggest trucks on sale in the US, marking the second year in a row it has led the category. GM’s Trucks Are Officially The Biggest In America \The

A Small Engine With Some Big Questions The redesigned Chevrolet Trax has earned its share of praise for being affordable, practical, and well-equipped for its size. But the spotlight is now shifting to what’s under the hood. The Trax runs on a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder, shared with the Buick Envista, Encore, and Chevrolet Trailblazer. On paper, the compact power plant promises a blend of efficiency and everyday performance, all while keeping costs down. For most owners, it seems to d

Not Just an ICE Problem Anymore GM already has its hands full with lawsuits over its gas engines – a troublesome V8 here, a questionable inline-three there. But the headaches aren’t stopping with combustion models. Now, the spotlight is shifting to their electric lineup. This time, it’s the Cadillac Lyriq under fire. Two owners have taken GM to court, saying their luxury EVs have problems that run deeper than the typical new-model teething pains. The lawsuit raises a tough question for GM: Even

GM’s Transmission Troubles Continue GM’s 10-speed automatic transmission just can’t catch a break. Back in February, the company widened an earlier recall to cover thousands more trucks and SUVs, all because of a fault that could lock up the rear wheels on the move. It’s another headache for a gearbox that’s already drawn years of complaints from owners. Now there’s a new class-action lawsuit in California. The claim? That GM kept selling vehicles with these transmissions even though it already

Cars Are Just the Beginning Subscription-based services have largely taken over the market, with companies like Netflix generating significant revenue from the model. A similar approach is now taking shape in the auto industry, with General Motors betting that subscription services like OnStar and Super Cruise could eventually generate more revenue than vehicle sales – an approach that now appears to be paying off. Automotive News reported that General Motors sees these subscription-based servic
