A software glitch in the module that runs the digital dashboard can make the screen behind the steering wheel go blank. It may happen when you start the vehicle or while you are driving. When the screen is blank, you cannot see how fast you are going and you will not see warning lights telling you about problems like low oil pressure or a brake issue. The fix is a free software update, done either at a dealer or sent to the vehicle over the air.
These vehicles came with an emergency jack, the small tool you use to lift the vehicle when you change a flat tire. If the jack is not placed exactly where the owner's manual says it should go, it can crack and break while the vehicle is raised on it. The vehicle can then drop, which could injure anyone underneath or beside it. GM is replacing the jack for free, but parts were not ready when the first letters went out.

These vehicles use an electric system that helps boost your braking, so the pedal feels easy to press. Dirt or moisture on a sensor connection can cut off the signal between the sensor and that booster. If that happens, the power assist goes away and the brake pedal gets very hard to push. The car will still stop, but you have to push much harder and it takes longer. GM dealers replace the brake booster module at no cost.
