Component | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Driving 75 miles per hour on interstate while passing two vehicles and one car behind me the car made a dinging noise, the adaptive cruise not available light illuminated and the car decelerated causing the car behind me to have to brake. If i had not stepped on the accelerator the car behind may have hit me. This has happened on four different dates and on one trip it happened 8 times in 80 miles. This is a safety hazard that could cause rear end collision at high speed. The repair shop at my chevy dealer in town says there are no error codes and the adaptive cruise is working as designed. Is i get hit from behind at high speed this could easily cause a devastating crash. I do not trust this car or the responses i am getting from the dealer. They say no one has complained about this but i kind find sites where people are reporting the same problem. |
