October 29, 2026Electrical SystemBack Over Prevention

My 2023 Chevrolet Suburban developed a "Service Driver Assist System" warning, and both the front and rear parking assistance systems stopped functioning. When approaching objects at low speeds in Drive or Reverse, the vehicle did not provide the expected parking distance warnings. I took the vehicle to an authorized Chevrolet dealership on October 22, 2026. The dealership initially attributed the problem to a low 12-volt battery and recommended replacing it. I authorized installation of a new ACDelco AGM battery. The dealer tested the charging system at 13.5 volts. However, after the battery replacement, the "Service Driver Assist System" warning remained, and the parking sensors still did

My 2023 Chevrolet Suburban RST equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine has developed serious transmission and drivetrain issues following an engine replacement performed under a GM recall approximately one year ago. Shortly after the engine replacement, the transmission began exhibiting unusual shifting behavior. The dealership advised that the transmission needed to reset or relearn its shifting patterns. However, approximately 10,000 miles later, the problems have continued and become increasingly concerning.The vehicle now shifts extremely hard when engaging Drive or Reverse and experiences harsh, abrupt shifts while driving. More concerning, the rear wheels have appeared to lock up unexpectedly

October 15, 2026Vehicle Speed Control

As I was driving on the Highway. My speed was approximately 65 MPH. The suburban slowed itself down and flashed on the driver screen "slow down/reduced acceleration". I was driving with my family in the car on the highway. The car forcing a slow down like that could have caused an accident that could have killed my 3 year old or my 9 year old. We drove the car home in fear after reading online that the rear tires could force stop on us. We immediately did an at home diagnostic on the vehicle and were given the following codes: P0700, P0747. We have taken the vehicle to the nearest Chevrolet Dealership and had it diagnosed. We were called today and told that the valve body needs replacement.

October 13, 2026Power TrainEngineForward Collision Avoidance

I was driving south on Highway 395 with 2 of my friends on our way home from vacation, which is a 2 lane road in the mountains. About 45 miles north of Victorville, CA. As I was accelerating, my vehicle all of a sudden dropped adaptive cruise control, the engine light started blinking, traction control errored, and I got a service ESC message on the dash. I let off the gas a little and everything seemed fine but when I reapplied pressure to the gas pedal the engine started making a loud ticking sound and had barely any propulsion. I had to keep going and was luckily able to find a safe place to pull off the road (which had many blind curves and minimal shoulder space along the highway). Had

Transmission / Electronic Shifter Control While attempting to operate my 2023 Chevrolet Suburban, the vehicle suddenly suffered a complete transmission shift lockout, displaying a critical driver alert on the dashboard stating: "Conditions Not Correct for Shifting." The vehicle actively blocked and refused engagement into Reverse gear. A diagnostic scan revealed (P0776) transmission solenoid and hydraulic control codes, and the Chevrolet owner's application triggered a "Service Engine/Transmission" warning. This issue is identical to the widespread, known manufacturing defect involving premature wear of the 10-speed transmission control valve body. General Motors has already acknowledged thi
