NHTSA Complaint #11620041 — 2024 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

This vehicle was advertised as having the Super Cruise feature along with "following distance indicator", "forward collision alert", "lane keep assist with lane departure warning" and "intellibeam" (auto headlamp dimming feature). We purchased the vehicle expecting all of these to function. When we took delivery and went on our drive with the salesman so he could explain all the features, we found that the Adaptive Cruise Control and the Super Cruise would not work at all. We thought maybe we were trying to engage it incorrectly, so the salesman advised he would check into it the next day (we took delivery after regular service hours) and get back to us. We took the vehicle home. Upon driving the next several days, the Forward Collision Alert malfunction indicator light came on in the driver information center. We had made an appointment and took the vehicle to the dealer. We were advised that bulletin #PIT6167A was issued by GM on 6/20/2024 stating "Super Cruise Unavailable" and it was a known problem and at the time there was no fix. We were advised by the Dealer that the issue was a software engineering issue that GM does not have a solution for repair. GM allowed this vehicle to be sold knowing that the Automatic Driver Assist (ADAS) safety systems on this vehicle would not function at all. We knew the Adaptive Cruise Control and the Super Cruise systems would not work, but we found out on the road in the dark that the "Intellibeam" system was not working when oncoming traffic started flashing their bright lights. This was a safety concern. This was very irresponsible of GM to sell these vehicles with ADAS issues. How did this vehicle pass the quality control process at the factory? Research shows there are other models affected. Today I learned that there is a newer version of the GM service bulletin (new number is PIT6167C) that states there is still no repair process for the Super Cruise (and other affected ADAS systems) available yet. GM refused to buyback.
