GM Suspends 2026 SUV Sales Over Undisclosed Problem
GM Suspends 2026 SUV Sales Over Undisclosed Problem originally appeared on Autoblog. General Motors has placed a stop-sale order on three of its midsize SUVs – the 2026 model years of the GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and Chevrolet Traverse. While these nameplates each target slightly different market segments, they're all built on the GM C1 platform and assembled at the Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan. They also share the same 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine. But right now, what they really share is a problem. As of July 7, GM has issued a stop-sale on all three 2026 models, citing an undisclosed quality issue, according to GM Authority. Dealers were instructed via bulletin N252517720 not to sell, trade, auction, or even use affected vehicles for demonstration purposes. The order covers specific VINs, and while GM investigates the issue, these SUVs are essentially on lockdown. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article The timing of the stop-sale is unfortunate, especially since the 2026 model year brings notable updates for all three SUVs. The 2026 GMC Acadia gets more tech than the outgoing model year, but with a price hike in tow. It now starts at over $44,000, with standard features including a digital key card and a Rear Camera Mirror for the Elevation trim, while Glacier White Tricoat and Riverstone Metallic replace older color options. Meanwhile, the 2026 Buick Enclave gets updated interior trim, upgraded in-car tech, and a sleeker infotainment interface. The automaker also shuffled paint options and tweaked some of the standard safety tech. The 2026 Chevy Traverse has only been redesigned for 2024, which hosted the return of the Z71 trim and a new, sportier-looking RS variant. While no major powertrain changes were introduced, the Traverse benefits from tech upgrades and refreshed interior styling. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article GM hasn't provided a timeline for when the stop-sale might be lifted, or what quality issue exactly triggered it. Of note, production has already started, so the problem must have been really important to not reach customers. This isn't the first time that GM has issued a stop-sale order. In 2023, GM halted sales of the Chevy Blazer EV due to software issues, while in 2016, it stopped selling certain SUVs over incorrect fuel economy labels.

2026 Chevrolet Traverse Mid-Size SUV Part of GM Stop-Sale Order
General Motors has issued a stop-sale order for three of its mid-size SUVs, as reported by GM Authority. The Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, and GMC Acadia—all 2026 models—are part of the stop-sale, which reportedly involves an undisclosed quality issue. The stop-sale only involves 92 total GM SUVs, and the automaker expects to resolve the issue by the end of the week. UPDATED 7/14/25, 6:55 p.m.: A GM spokesperson confirmed the stop-sale order, which only involves 92 total GM mid-size SUVs, including the 2026 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave. While they didn't provide details about the "quality" issue, they said it's expected to be resolved by the end of the week. We don't know the exact reason that General Motors has reportedly issued a stop-sale order for some of its three-row mid-size SUVs. However, according to a report by GM Authority, there's a quality-related problem that has led the automaker to pause the sale of certain 2026 Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, and GMC Acadia models. GMC Michael Simari | Car and Driver While details are scarce, GMA claims that the stop-sale notice was part of a dealer bulletin (reference number N252517720) that was posted last week on July 7. Until the undisclosed quality issue is resolved, the vehicles cannot be delivered to customers, traded to other dealers, or used for demonstrations. All three GM models recently entered a new generation, which introduced new designs, powertrains, and technology. The trio is also built alongside each other at the Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan. Car and Driver has reached out to a GM representative to confirm the stop-sale order. However, we didn't receive a response by the time of publication. We will update this story with additional information if we learn more. Eric Stafford Managing Editor, News Eric Stafford's automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual '97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a '90 Honda CRX Si. Read full bio
