The vehicle’s infotainment touchscreen intermittently malfunctions due to apparent lcd ghosting or phantom touch inputs. The system registers commands without driver interaction, resulting in unpredictable and uncontrollable behavior. The failure presents •ghost touches and phantom screen inputs •uncommanded radio, media, and menu changes •audible warning or confirmation beeps without driver input •sudden and unexplained changes to the instrument cluster display •periods of complete touchscreen failure •loss of reliable control of audio, navigation, and vehicle settings these events occur while the vehicle is in motion and without warning. The driver is unable to stop or override the inputs, forcing attention away from the road in an attempt to correct or understand the malfunction. No warning lights are present prior to or during the failure. This condition creates a significant driver distraction and represents a safety hazard. The infotainment system is integrated into core vehicle functions, and its failure directly interferes with safe operation. In some instances, the system becomes unusable altogether. The issue is intermittent, difficult to reproduce on demand, and not resolved by restarting the vehicle. Based on the symptoms, this appears to be a hardware-related touchscreen or digitizer failure rather than user error. Given the prevalence of many similar reports involving gm infotainment systems exhibiting ghost touch behavior, this condition may represent a broader defect affecting this platform and model year range. Touch screen has a mind of its own - page 4 - 2014 - 2019 silverado & sierra - gm-trucks. Com. I am requesting that NHTSA evaluate this issue as a potential safety defect due to loss of driver control, unintended system inputs, and ongoing driver distraction.
First the brakes went out, then the ac, now the transmission. It has only 60,000 miles.
La falla DE mi carro ES la transmisión se quebró por dentro cuando iba en marcha pero pude llegar a un tienda DE Chevrolet.
When pulling out of my driveway my gas pedal foot became stuck on the gas pedal. I could not remove my foot from the gas pedal. I immediately stepped on the brake pedal and then my Tahoe accelerated rapidly. I removed my foot from the brake pedal because any pressure on the brake just caused the car to accelerate faster. I then managed to wiggle my gas pedal foot from off of the gas pedal, it took a lot of effort. I was wearing normal men's shoes with no protrusions of any kind. I have recently seen in the news several similar occurrences including one that resulted in a fatality and others being injured as the car accelerated into an apple store. In two of these cases that I've seen in the news the drivers have reported that their foot became stuck on the gas pedal and when they applied the brakes the car accelerated out of control. This is exactly what happened to me except I managed to get the car under control before I hit anything. My inspection of the Tahoe's pedals revealed that the two pedals are very close to each other and when applying the brakes the brake pedal comes down on the foot that is somehow stuck on the gas pedal. I believe the stuck accelerator foot was somehow trapped under the brake pedal. The pedals are too close together.
