The Cost of Transition General Motors may have taken a multibillion-dollar hit to its electric-vehicle strategy, but the company remains committed to sustainability. In fact, GM has secured enough renewable energy to match 100% of its electricity use across all U.S. facilities in 2025, making it the first U.S. automaker to do so. That does not mean every GM facility runs solely on renewable electricity in real time. Rather, the company says it contracts enough clean energy from sources such as s

A new Corvette Grand Sport has not been announced yet, but you would not know it from how hard Chevrolet is now working to hide it. After internal leaks pointed to a new LS6 V8 and a 2027 C8 Grand Sport, GM has quietly started stripping those references from its own systems, and that cleanup is only making fans more convinced the car is real.

General Motors has announced $830 million in investments at three key propulsion plants in Michigan and Ohio to support the launch of the company’s next-generation full-size trucks and SUVs. The $830 million investments also include some production work recently started at these sites. In addition to the investment in U.S. production, GM also said it is investing half a billion dollars in a Canadian plant that will make the next-generation small-block V8 engines for the automaker's upcoming full

GM’s Digital Push for Used Cars General Motors announced that its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program will be integrated into CarBravo. The move expands the platform’s inventory while allowing GM to offer manufacturer-backed inspections and warranty coverage through participating dealers — bringing the used-car buying process to customers’ fingertips online. This means buyers can browse used vehicles that have been inspected and reconditioned without leaving the comfort of their homes. However, on

Two Strokes May Return It’s been a while since two-stroke engines went the way of the dinosaurs, with them being considered too inefficient, noisy, and emission-heavy for the 21st century. It is widely believed that the incorporation of technologies like electronically-controlled fuel injection, oil metering, and port timing could bring two-strokes into the modern era by boosting efficiency and reducing emissions, however most mainstream engine development over the last couple of decades has bee

There's good news for owners of 2025 and 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Colorado, and Traverse vehicles after General Motors released a new Preliminary Information Service Bulletin (PIP6101) this month to address an unwanted noise in their engines. The issue has also been plaguing the Buick Enclave and GMC's Acadia, Canyon, and Sierra 1500. These vehicles are powered by either GM's L3B 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or its LK0 2.5-liter turbo-four, and have been experiencing a ticking nois

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. GM's Austin and Warren Tech Hubs Among Affected Sites

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

Built Tough, But Not Bulletproof Full-size SUVs are often presented as large, commanding vehicles capable of conquering almost any terrain or hauling big families, but even something as small as a defective bolt can cause major problems. Case in point: General Motors is recalling 2,464 full-size SUVs over incorrect wheel-hub bolts that may loosen or deform over time, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA recall number 26V304 states that the affected vehicles may have been fitted with incorrect b

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
