ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, 70-80 MPH, STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR BRIEF PERIODS. OFTEN TIMES IT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ACTUATION OF THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW SWITCH. IT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH A LOT OF THE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER, A FLICKERING CONTROL PANEL, ABS LIGHT, STAB TRAK, BRAKE ASSIST, AND PARK ASSIST WARNINGS. A/C WOULD STOP, RADIO WOULD TURN OFF, THE DASHBOARD WOULD FLICKER, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THE WARNINGS IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE ISSUE. STEERING WAS TOUGH, THOUGH CONTROLLABLE, BUT I QUESTION THE ABILITY OF A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVE TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE SAME PROBLEM AT THOSE SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AT LOWER SPEEDS, USUALLY WHILE BACKING UP TO PARK. AT LOWER SPEEDS THE SUV WOULD CUT OFF COMPLETELY. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE STALL WAS RECOVERABLE, VERY FORTUNATE IN THIS MATTER. UNABLE TO GET THE ISSUE TO REPEAT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS VERY INCONSISTENT. USUALLY RESETS ITSELF ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKERING WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED - THIS IS BOTH DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER AS THIS HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE IN MOTION WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE SO WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL.

SUSPENSION
OUR STRUTS WENT OUT AT 60K MILES. WE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND WE BOUGHT IT FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP WITH ONLY 1 OTHER OWNER. WE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AND IT COST $1500. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN. MY HUSBAND'S SILVERADO HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT AS WELL. THESE EXPENSIVE CARS SHOULD LAST.

SERVICE BRAKES
DURING SLOW MOVEMENT, SUCH AS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN IN TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GET HARD AND THERE WILL BE NO BRAKES. THIS HAS ONLY OCCURED DURING SLOW MOVEMENT SO FAR, BUT I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE DEALER OFFERED A REPAIR FOR $691.00 BUT THIS IS A MANUFACTURERES DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL.
