The back up is very dim and when backing up you can barely see where you are back up and if anyone one or anything is behind me. I am not sure if its the camera or the screen. The screen looks fine when listening to music or using it for calls.

Service blind spot detection system alert come on i took it to the dealership and paid $95 to diagnosis they wanted $1900 to fix the problem 2 weeks later while waiting for an appointment the entire system is failing Forward collision warning, Lane departure warning, and Parking collision warning. the dealer now wants another $95 to re-diagnosis seeing as only the blind spot was the only warning at first. I'm being told this could lead to the vehicle shutting down even while driving

All the lights are flashing on dashboard. Car won't start. No gages work on dash. Lights won't work blinkers don't work. Radio panel is black. I had same issues in 2018 and had to replace detection module and harness on both sides. Paid $1200. Now I am having the same issue again.

While driving this vehicle, the Traction Control will turn off along with the Stabiltrack function. The transmission will drop into "limp" mode and function on a "basic" level. This causes the vehicle to loose power and become very sluggish to control or operate. A code for "loss of TCM communication" to be found in the computer via the ADL. To remove the code and restore communication to the Transmission Control Module, I have to remove and reinsert the wire coupling connection wire harness at the TCM. The TCM will now communicate with the ECM. This is a recurring problem solved by this action.

The manufacturer patented Stabilitrak system continues to fail on my vehicle. Initial ODI 114406439. Dealership charged $1,7832.15 to replace transmission control module (TMC) on 11/5/21. On 12/22/21 vehicle indicated the exact issue (Service Stabilitrak), took vehicle to same dealership, awaiting response. The car is not drivable when "Service Stabilitrak" is indicated as engine power is substantially reduced. GM technical service bulletin PIC5992A seems to apply to my issue. However, Chevrolet and the dealership says it does not apply, but continue to charge for engine light analysis and unnecessary, expensive repairs. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Vehicle is once again inoperable (3/4/22) due to this issue (service stabilitrak). Consumer stated almost $3,000 was spent with no resolution. Consumer stated vehicle fixed with used parts from a junk yard-€" new parts were not available.

Cruse control deactivates and won't reactivate while cruising at highway speeds. Seems to work again after shutting off and restarting. This has happened several times. Last time it happened the engine also died. Coasted to the side of road, waited a minute and car restarted and seemed fine, but happened a second time a few minutes later. I was on a state highway with light traffic so was in no immediate danger, but would hate for this to happen on a busy six lane interstate. No diagnostic codes were set by the computer system.

A few days ago, I was driving along the highway at approx 55mph and decided to change lanes and I nearly ran into a vehicle that was passing me at the time. This near miss occurred because my vehicle blind side detection system was inoperable. My mechanic told me that the system sensors and wire harnesses needed to be replaced and that this was a design defect in GM's side detection system in that it wasn't adequately protected from normal moisture damage. Since this is such an inherent and serious safety hazard, the manufacturer should be held responsible and forced to issue a recall to repair this defect.

While driving, side detection error. All gauges started jumping around and not working. After shut off car and tried to restart, it wouldn't turn over. Checked and battery was ok but ignition was acting like no power. Tow truck to the dealer. Dealer said it was a known issue and they would repair for free. That was 6 weeks ago and it is still sitting at dealer because the part is on back order. Chevrolet will not cover the cost of a rental vehicle. I have talked to 4 different people (I have kept escalating) over a 3 week period - however with no resolution. After my last request for escalation, they said I would get a call back in 3-5 days. That was 2 weeks ago and I've never received a call back. Dealership is unable to provide an estimate of when the part will be available.

Returning from a recent drive back from Nebraska into Colorado the sunroof (the portion that vents and slides) exploded. No other indicators were present. No bad weather no debris from another vehicle were heard or seen. There were some high winds in the area but that was about it.
