“Advanced cruise control system has twice applied the brakes when the road was clear ahead. First time was not a problem other than surprised me. Second time I was almost rear-ended by car behind me. Fortunately, only resulted in a dirty look from other driver. Could have been much worse. I have since de-activated the Advanced cruise system. My dealership is in process of diagnosing the problem.”

The second occurrence was at my son's school I turned the corner at a stop sign and right after I turn the corner and started accelerating the truck slammed on the brakes to an instant stop with no cars in front of me or in the other lane on coming.”

“These features no longer work in the vehicle. There may be others that I have not noticed yet. Chevrolet requires you to purchase a Onstar subscription at the price of 25.99 a month for these safety features to work. It also requires Onstar for the talk button on steering wheel to work along with talk to text. No longer shows the current posted speed limit on road on dash. No longer shows map on dash cluster. These are what I have noticed so far.”
