ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A WARNING ON THE MESSAGE CENTER ASKING TO "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" I'M FINDING THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE MIRROR WILL SOMETIMES COME ON QUICKLY FOR ONLY A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN SHUT OFF. THEY ARE DOING THIS ON RANDOM OCCASIONS AND OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I FOUND SOME WEBSITES SHOWING WHERE THESE MONITORS ARE AND HAVE FOUND THAT MINE ARE COVERED IN DIRT AND SEEM TO HAVE THE DRIED SALT "WHITE" CRUST ON THEM. MY GUESS, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS THAT THEY ARE CORRODED AND NEED REPLACING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS LOOKING INTO AS THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND GOING OFF RANDOMLY. IT BEGAN BECOMING MORE FREQUENT SO I TOOK IT TO OURISMAN CHEVROLET TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR AND AIRBAG MODULE WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND FOR $1979 THEY COULD REPAIR IT, IMAGINE THAT. I LET THEM KNOW THAT IF I HAD TO PUT THAT KIND OF MONEY IN AN AIRBAG EVERY 55,000 MILES I WOULD BE LOOKING AT AN AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE OBJECT SENSOR MODULES THAT CONTROL SAFETY FEATURES LIKE BLIND SPOT ALERTS AND GAP ALERTS HAVE FAILED CREATING MORE PROBLEMS FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHEVY. MY DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS ULTIMATELY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND NOTHING I DID CREATED THIS MAJOR ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IMMEDIATELY HAD AN EFFECT ON MY DRIVING CONDITION.

ENGINE, SUSPENSION
ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND WAS ACTING AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. SO I PARKED MY CAR CALLED MY MECHANIC HE CAME OVER AND LOOKED AT THE CAR I SAID IT COULD BE A POSSIBLE ROCKER ARM THAT HAS GONE IN THE CAR OR I COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON GIVING ME A CODE FOR A CAM POSITIONING SENSOR / SOLENOID. ALSO WHEN I PURCHASE THE CAR NOT TOO LONG AFTER ME DRIVING I NOTICED THERE WAS SOME NOISE COMING FROM MY BACK TIRES. I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT FOR A WHILE UNTIL ONE DAY I LOOKED AT MY TIRES AND NOTICED THAT ON THE INSIDE THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF SCRAPING GOING ON WEARING AWAY MY TREAD. IT WOULD ALWAYS SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THE TIRES WERE TOO BIG FOR THE CAR BUT I ORDERED WHAT THE MANUFACTOR SUGGESTED THE TIRE SIZE SHOULD BE FOR THE CAR. SO I HAD A TIRE SPECIALIST LOOK AT IT AND AN ALIGNMENT SPECIALIST LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SUSPENSION SPRINGS MAY BE CAUSING MY ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF MY TIRE FOR THEM TO FIT BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS ARE CORRECT AND THE TIRES WERE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHAT MY INFORMATION CENTER SAID IS SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM. CHEVROLET WANTS ANT WHERE FROM $400.00 TO 1200.00 TO REPLACE THIS MODULE. IT HAS SCREWED UP MY EVERYTHING SO IT SEEMS. I'M SO AFRAID THAT THE GAS WILL STICK OR THE BRAKE WON'T WORK. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MODULE CONTROLLING SO MANY THINGS IN MY VEHICLE IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. BY THE WAY I WAS DRIVING ON MY SIDE STREET ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS OR SO.

CAR STARTED SMOKING FROM THE BUMPER AREA AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOING NUTS. CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND ACTING WEIRD. ALL GAUGES AND INSTRUMENT PANEL GOING OFF AND ON. DOOR LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. CRUISE ENABLE THEN DISABLE. INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN GLITCHING OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE SIDE DETECTION MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS IS BAD WHERE IT GOT WET. THE LOCATION LEAVES IT EXPOSED TO WATER FROM THE ROADWAY AND CAN CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY
