GM's EV Brake Failures Trigger Federal Probe

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
GM's brake issues show that even the most advanced EVs can't outrun basic safety flaws.
💡 Why it matters
This probe could lead to a recall affecting thousands of GM EVs and shake consumer confidence in electric vehicle reliability.

NHTSA has deepened its investigation into brake failures in GM electric vehicles after over 100 complaints, including a 2024 Chevy Blazer EV driver who deliberately steered into a curb to avoid a crash.
