What 8 owners told NHTSA about the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV

While operating my 2024 GMC Hummer EV at a low speed in a school zone, I came to a complete stop at a stop sign and began making a left turn. As I initiated the turn, the steering wheel suddenly locked and became unresponsive. I was unable to turn the wheel back to the right or regain control of the vehicle’s direction. At the same time, the vehicle did not respond as expected when attempting to stop. Because I could not steer or properly control the vehicle, I collided with another vehicle. The impact with the other vehicle is what ultimately brought my vehicle to a stop. During the incident, multiple warning messages appeared on the dashboard, including a message indicating: “Service Steering System.” My vehicle sustained minimal damage due to its height (a bent side step), however the other vehicle sustained damage. Police responded to the scene and a report was filed. I was NOT issued a citation. (see report attached) The vehicle has since been towed to Northwest Hills Chevy/GMC in Torrington CT for inspection by the GMC manufacturer. This incident raises serious safety concerns, as the sudden loss of steering control at low speed could have resulted in significantly more severe consequences under different circumstances. I was in a school zone at dismissal time going to pick up my son. This appears to be a potential mechanical or electronic steering system failure. I believe this represents a serious safety defect that should be investigated to prevent similar incidents.

On August 11, 2025, at about 2:52pm, my vehicle was at a complete stop at an intersection awaiting the traffic light to turn green. There was a slight downgrade slope towards the intersection. The vehicle one-pedal driving was enabled. Weather was sunny with no wind or rain. Suddenly, the vehicle started vibrating violently and started rolling into the intersection. I pressed on the brake pedal but the vehicle continued to vibrate and the vehicle rolled into the middle of the adjoining lane of traffic. There was no traffic on the roadway and no other vehicles were affected. My vehicle had come to a compete stop in the roadway and I attempted to accelerate through the intersection but the vehicle would not move. I recycled the power to the vehicle and placed the vehicle into drive and proceeded to drive through the intersection. I do recall that when I was pressing the brake pedal, the vibration felt somewhat similar to vibration of the ABS brake system when the tires are losing traction but the vibration was much more pronounced. I pulled the vehicle onto the side of the road and checked the driver information display. A "Service ESC" notification appeared on the driver information panel followed by "One-Pedal Driving Unavailable Use Brake for Stopping". No other warnings or notifications were observed after this incident and the vehicle seems to be driving normally. I was able to re-enable the one-pedal driving mode the next morning.
