    Did you black out the bose speaker emblem? What did you use if so? My 2024 Z71 gives me error messages too for the wireless charging. Adaptive has been perfect so far. If I signal to the right, when I finish the turn and the signal switch resets to neutral, it will sometimes signal left. But! Been great otherwise lol

    I got a 2024 it is a very nice handling truck. Took it for a trip to Seattle went well. After driving that far we had to get out about half way. I'm 75 have to stretch my legs. The seat did get uncomfortable after a 8 hour drive. I think that would be normal. I'm having a hard time with all the electronics not used to that stuff. I got all the safety stuff to being older. I actually learned so stuff by watching you. Lots of things to have to do to drive this. Might be a little much for me. I do love the truck.

    To many issues with these trucks and no support from GM. GM supposedly sent a engineer to look at my truck and i was hopeful it would finally get fixed. Unfortunately he just pencil whipped saying everything is good to cover their butts from a BBB report I made. Took the truck home and started recording. Nothing fixed still same issues. So guess it will be his word vs my recordings and the hundreds of other people with the same issues not to mention their is a stop sale for one of the issues. Will never own another GM product in my lifetime nor will my children. This same thing happened to my neighbors grandfather and now you have 3 generations who have never or will never own a GM product
