Seems my ongoing problem of the Suburban shifting into 4w Hi all by itself and then being stuck there has so far been solved but not before at least 4 trips and many different "flashes" to the stupid computers that GM seems to think are needed for this process. On the last trip in I was told that GM had FINALLY announced a recall using yet another, different flash file. They also replaced the "clunky" drivers seat but still have yet to replace the entire sunroof. This is apparently the only fix they have developed for the problem of not being able to close the sunroof when going about 55-60 or faster. Anyone else tried to close your sunroof while traveling on a freeway? The system that causes the roof to stop and backup when something or someone is caught in the way can't pull the wind deflector down so it stops and reopens. Just great!! There are other electronic problems happening. I'm tired of driving a computer.

Mine is currently in service, 2 days so far. At least you (Thomas44) can get it back to 2WD. I've tried everything one of the service guys said to try...disconnect both battery posts, wait 10 minutes and reconnect. That does not work. Try driving it backward a few feet. That didn't work either. Today they called and said they've never seen this before (same thing they told me the first time it happened) and that just like last time they talked directly to GM about it. I'm told that GM is aware of the problem. This time GM gave the dealer different "programming" info (or data or whatever it is) than they did last time. My great hope is that I get it back with different firmware (that's what I call it!) and the problem get resolved. I certainly don't want to go down the lemon law road again. The truck has other issues, sunroof won't close at speeds above 60 because it can't push down that flimsy cloth wind deflector (that you know is going to end up shredded in about a year), and the drivers seat "shifts" when you accelerate or make a turn. Also, who ever heard of auto recall seats that recall themselves before you actually get in the seat? They say that's how its designed (how moronic). It's not designed that way in the 2015 Escalade or any other vehicle I've ever owned. I can't believe how many problems there are with the most basic of systems. My last American brand was the 2005 Dodge Durango. What a NIGHTMARE POS that was. ALL the problems with that ride were electronic/computer related and they could never repair any of them nor would they buy the heaping pile back. Had to lawyer up and swore I'd never buy American ever again. That only lasted 10 years When will I learn to never buy the first year of a redesign?? Only reason I bought this was because my last 2 QX56's had poor A/C (I live in the desert and work outside). I'll keep you posted. Oh yeah, the A/C in the 2015 Suburban is the best!...now that it's been repaired. Can you see my last name? Gotta laugh!

Sounds like most of you are suffering a 4WD Service light but that's it, is that right? Is anyone's truck shifting into 4WD-HI by itself and staying there? If so. have you had the problem resolved for good? (and how do you really know its for good?) I have 1600 miles on a 2015 Suburban. A week after I got it I heard about the transfer case recall and took it in for that service. Shortly after that I had an issue where the truck went into 4WD-HI all by itself. I don't recall what position the switch was in when it happened but it was definitely 2WD or AUTO, not 4WD-HI or LO, and I was shifting from reverse to drive. After it happened, no matter what position I put the switch in the transmission remained in 4WD-HI (there's no mistaking it when you can barely make a u-turn). Along with this problem I had the Service 4WD light on the dash which makes sense. I took it back to the dealer, this time they kept it for 2 full days and told me the problem was caused by them incorrectly reprograming while they had it the first time to do the recall service and that they had to contact GM to discuss the problem because they'd never seen this before. "Okay, I guess" I thought to myself. Well, a few hundred miles later and my truck is once again stuck in 4WD-HI tonight and of course I have the Service 4WD dash light on again. How nice Computers & software have no place being between a shift lever and a transmission! What happened to actual linkage? I mean look at the original recall "In the affected vehicles, an electrical signal short may cause the transfer case to shift to neutral without the driver's input. If the transfer case switches to neutral while the vehicle is parked and the parking brake is not in use, the vehicle may roll away increasing the risk of injury to bystanders. If the transfer case switches to neutral while the vehicle is being driven, the vehicle would lose drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will recalibrate transfer-case control module software." Seriously!? Now I own a truck that puts itself into 4WD whenever the mood strikes. What's next? Perhaps 4WD-LO, REVERSE?? If anyone else is having this problem I'd like to hear of your experience. All this makes me wish I hadn't traded in that QX
