General Motors Co (NYSE: GM) has issued a stop sale order on all its 2024 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize trucks due to software quality issues. The company confirmed that the stop sale was issued on Monday to address intermittent software quality issues, and a fix has already been implemented. GM expects the hold to be lifted shortly, as reported by Detroit Free Press.
This is not the first time GM has faced software issues with its vehicles. In December, the company issued a stop-sale for 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVs for similar reasons. During the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call in late January, GM CEO Mary Barra addressed the software issues and assured customers that the company’s software and services team is working to resolve the stability issues experienced by Blazer EV users, affecting screens and charging experience.
GM did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comment on whether the issues warrant a recall of the vehicles already on the road. The company delivered a total of 2.6 million vehicles in the U.S. last year, marking a year-on-year jump of 14%.
The software quality issues highlight the importance of addressing and resolving technical problems promptly to ensure customer satisfaction and safety. As automakers continue to innovate and introduce new technologies in their vehicles, ensuring the reliability and functionality of software systems is crucial to maintaining consumer trust and loyalty.
