Hi all,
First post... long time GM/GMC owner, (like since the 70's for me, 30's for my dad). Also have been a reader of the forum for years now, (with the 05 Envoy Denali being in the family). ;)
Don't mean to hijack here but I have a similar problem. We ordered the Costco Limited Edition Silverado LTZ back on May 27th, and took delivery a week ago (almost). Actually it was a few days late, came in July 8th. Can't say enough good things about the Costco program and just how easy it is, not to mention how much you save. OTOH... I'd NEVER have thought to go that route had I not happened by the Costco truck when building out GMC's and Chevy's online. Honestly I didn't need/want the sunroof or the "limited edition" 22" wheels as building the exact same truck (without those two options) was $2500 less. But after all the numbers were run, (not to mention the Costco $1000 cash card) the net-net wasn't but $500 more for a $2500 price difference... no brainer that one was. ;)
We chose Siren Red tint coat, in 4WD, cocoa/dune, which was an upcharge to the base price, albeit only at supplier pricing. Then I added another 2K in 'accessories' after the fact that were not included in the (unchangeable) Costco deal. Without my additions, it was a tick over 59, but ended up well under 51, and still have the $1000 Costco card coming. Win win there.
That however is the good news.
Being as it's not a daily driver we've not gone out in it much in the last week, just around here locally. Although I had concerns that the LKA and Collision Avoidance wasn't working, but attributed that to small twisty roads here in town, and a lack of any real stop and go traffic to test out the collision avoidance.
Yesterday however I made a 65 mile trek well north of Atlanta to my closest Hüper Optik dealer for ceramic 40 in the front doors, ceramic 70 in the back doors, back glass, and sunroof. It's AMAZING how cool it is now compared to before, with the 70 being almost clear, but blocking out all the IR.
On that trip I couldn't for the life of me get the Lane Keep Assist to turn on. No green icons, no amber, nothing, zip, nada. It's on of course on the console, and the collision avoidance is set to maximum in the DIC. I had my share of bumper to bumper traffic, brakes being slammed on in front, and never got a warning, EVER. Tried the LKA numerous times and nothing, not even the light in the DIC. The truck has something like 230 miles on it at this point.
So today I take it to the dealer and wait, and wait, annnnnnnd wait. Was there 5+ hours while they tried to figure out what was going on. At first the tech was thinking it wasn't LKA, but the warning of lane drift option and haptic seat he was chasing. Then they pulled the build sheet and FINALLY listened to what I was trying to tell them.
There was also a brand new High Country in for (what they said) was the same problem.
On mine, the tech said there was a power steering fault code (that he cleared) and thought he'd fixed it. (At that time he was still thinking it was only the bumper sensors though that he was trying to fix.) He said the High Country though had no fault codes and nothing with the steering. Go figure.....
I confirmed with him though that we're talking about the CAMERA that works with the Lane Keep Assist, not just the sensor warning/haptic seat and/or beeps.
At this point he said they couldn't fix it, "Because it's not acting up while it's on, so the system isn't telling us what is wrong". Then went on to say "If it was on, and not working correctly it'd show up in the system".
This was AFTER he had taken it for TWO TEST DRIVES!!!!!!
I was flabbergasted and said, "So you're telling me that because it ISN'T TELLING YOU what is wrong, that you're not going to fix it, because in your eyes it's working correctly? Even though you've driven it TWICE, and YOU KNOW it's turned on, and YOU KNOW it's not working!"
He said, "Yes, that's correct. We can't fix it because we don't know what it's not doing." Although admitted it WAS INDEED ON, just not 'acting' like anything is wrong with it.
To which my reply was. "So you're telling me I just bought a $60,000 truck with one of the biggest safety features on it that WASN'T FREE by the way, that doesn't work, doesn't tell you it's not working, and you DON'T KNOW how to fix it? Care to refund my money about now?
I mean what the heck?
Plus the left side of the seat hardly vibrates, but that's another matter.
And the wireless charger doesn't work with my brand new S7 edge. That is a hardware problem, period. (Theirs, not mine, and I don't know if there will EVER be a fix for that.) ;)
Ended up leaving the dealership after wasting most of the day there, (like from 8:00 till after 1:00). Service writer was at lunch (tech said he goes for 2 hours), Service Manager was at lunch too, (tech said he's slow when he's there). The tech did say all they could do was get with GM tech support and figure out what to do. It's obvious the system isn't working, and even more (painfully) obvious that they have NO freaking CLUE what to do.
Anyhow.... sorry about the hijack/drift. But found this thread, and noticed it was at least similar.
If anyone has had (or is) having the same problem I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks!
