Owner Narrative

Component: Electronic Stability Control / Navigation / GPS Complaint: Since the February 2026 over-the-air software update, the built-in Google Maps GPS has been severely malfunctioning. The system consistently fails to update my vehicle’s location, showing me as stationary at my home address even after driving for 30+ minutes and 20+ miles away. This is not an intermittent glitch — it renders the native navigation system completely unusable after nearly every drive. Prior to the February 2026 update, the GPS functioned perfectly. The issue began immediately following that update and has persisted despite infotainment system resets and checking for further software updates. I am aware that GM has internally acknowledged this issue via Preliminary Information bulletin PIC6644 (issued February 2026), which attributes the problem to a “software anomaly” and confirms engineering is investigating. However, no fix or timeline has been provided to customers. A GPS system that does not reflect the vehicle’s actual location is a safety concern — particularly when relying on navigation for routing, hazard awareness, or emergency response. I am filing this complaint to ensure this issue is part of the public record and to urge NHTSA to monitor the scope of this defect across 2024 Lyriq vehicles
