| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
While driving our 2023 Chevrolet duramax diesel Suburban, I was waiting, at a complete stop, against the median to make a u turn. When the traffic cleared, I began the turn when I suddenly noticed a nearly complete loss of power, hesitancy of engine engagement, and little response to the gas pedal being depressed. Then an error message appeared on the dashboard stating "low acceleration warning". There was very little acceleration power available. The rear wheels seemed to spin. I was perilously endangered while making a u-turn across lanes because of this loss of power. The vehicle was then taken immediately to our local Chevrolet dealer who diagnosed a error code message (p0700, 0747) related to transmission valve and injectors. We are very concerned that this was a dangerous occurrence and should be further investigated. We have a 30-year history of Suburban ownership, however this is our first diesel model. We have never had problems of this significance, or seen this error message before. Since this diesel Suburban is nearly new, we are particularly concerned about the durability and safety of this vehicle. Please see attached servive report. The ac compressor was also failed and replaced.
Automatic emergency braking system activated at ~77mph. Essentially I had started braking appropriately and at about the same time the aeb system seemed to conclude more breaking was needed. This led to brief loss of vehicle control when brakes completely locked at high rate of speed ~77mph. According to vehicle manual this system should not activate at speed great than 50mph (photo attached). This is dangerous because I could have lost control and/or someone behind me could smash into me. My vehicle does not have adaptive cruise. Vehicle and other systems otherwise work perfectly. As a side note the extreme brake application at high speed caused cargo within the vehicle to slam forward and destroy the windshield, in addition to being a scary event.
