What owners report
A few days ago I was heading home from work and sport mode automatically turned on and the âservice power steeringâ warning came on. Then the steering wheel stiffened up 2 times for a few seconds while I was driving. I looked into it and there was a recall before I purchased the vehicle and it was repaired also. But it is the same problem. I contacted the dealer ship but they said thereâs no warranty on recalls. I did purchase the car from a used car dealership and still paying it. Car still isnât running and seems like an expensive repair.
Collapsed lifter on cyl 6. Lifter tick / knock since 100,200 miles. Car has a warranty until 5/2026 or 171,000 miles and they refuse to honor it. Car has a steering issue. Two separate chevy dealerships unable to fix. vanderevere charged me 500-600 to fix NOTHING AT ALL. serpentini chevy charge me 500-600 and it was repaired for a few months problem is back. Serpentini quoted me 6,000 plus tax to fix my collasped lifter, and at that price its a full engine replace from what it looks like, which means the AFM lifter will fail eventually again and ill need to spend even more money. There is a class action lawsuit out on alot of v8 2007-2022 engines which can be found at (https://www.classactio
"service side detection system" and "park assist unavailable", are errors due to water intrusion to proximity sensors. In addition sensor modules are physically bulging and there was some corrosion on my passenger side harness connector and visible rust inside both modules' connectors. Errors are starting to affect other electrical system components and other errors are showing up like various electrical glitches like a pausing turn signal among other issues.
The driver information center is displaying "Service Side Detection System" alert. On the SS Forum this appears to be an increasingly popular problem with these cars
THE BLIND SPOT SENSOR STARTED NOT TO WORK SPORADICALLY STARTED NOT TO WORK AT 36,500 MILES. NOW THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL AND AT LEAST I AM NOTIFIED OF THIS TWO TO THREE TIMES EVERY USE OF THE VEHICLE. TALKED AND RESEARCHED THIS WHICH IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH GM CARS AND TRUCKS OF MY CARS VINTAGE. GM KNEW OF THE DESIGN ISSUE BEFORE THEY BUILT THE CAR BUT DIDN'T REPLACE IT.
