Blind spot light does not turn off radio powers on and off headlights flash on and off interior lights flash on and off vehicle will not turn start.
"service side detection" comes on the dash everytime the car is started. Recently I tried to enter my vehicle and the fob did not unlock the doors after several attempts. Once it did, the car would not start. After several attempts of starting the vehicle it finally worked, but the gauges kept turning on and off even while the car was in motion as well as the door locks. This is the first time this has happened, but it was quite concerning while driving.
Side blind zone alert stopped working due to the poor design of the modules. This caused my gas gauge and odometer to stop working. In addition, the following lights came on and said they needed to be serviced: air bags, tires,theft system, check engine. After all of this, my car wouldn't start. I was left stranded. The faulty modules scrambled my computer in my car. The cost of this repair is around $1400 to fix, plus the modules will fail again and need to be replaced again. The modules are a poor design from gm. This seems to be an ongoing issue with these cars. Currently, gm hasn't been held responsible to fix the design of these modules. Not only do we have to pay for the repair of the faulty modules. We paid and still pay a hefty price for this vehicle. I wish I knew about this issue before I purchased this car. My car was parked and when I tried to start it, it wouldn't start. I finally was able to start it. As I drove it to the shop, I didn't have any speed odometer, turning signals or lights. This was very dangerous due to driving on a 4 lane highway in a busy city. To lose all gauges, lights, turn signals and to have other numerous "check" lights come on is very unsafe. I could have been rear ended.
While driving my car on a main street moving along at approximately 50 mph the car completely shut down, electrical system and motor. The car would not recognize the fob. Therefore, it would not restart. I put the car in park to restart. Therefore, it was stuck in park and I could not move the car out of the lane of traffic. We tried to re-set the system by disconnecting the battery and tapping the brakes. This did not work. After my husband had brought me the second fob from home the car still would not recognize the fob. I walked away from the car to re-set the fob. The car still would not start. After being struck in Friday afternoon traffic for an hour I called a tow truck. My husband tried the car again and it started. I drove the car home. The very next day I took it to the dealership and they could not find any problems. Two weeks later the car began not recognizing the fob again. The dealership cannot find the problem. I do not want to see any others get hurt from this problem.
