I've got a good one for ya...I was driving home last night and after going across some railroad tracks the stabilitrak and traction control on/off messages kept appearing in the instrument cluster DIC screen. As soon as I unplugged my phone from the USB cable (was listening to Spotify through Android auto at the time) it stopped. This was probably going on for about a mile before I came to a stop and unplugged the phone to look the issue up..

 

Has anyone had this happen? BTW, truck is a 2016, 2500 (gas) quad cab 4x4 ltz

I have a 2014 SLE with 38K miles and I have been getting this message intermittently for years. When I ask the dealer about it they check and both systems are fine. I think it is something to do with the computer communication system and maybe Bluetooth trying to connect to two different points cause it happens more where I work where there are a few connections. But it does happen anywhere too I would guess about 2 times a week but there has been weeks of it not coming on. It normally clears within a mile so I would have to be passing a GM dealer when it comes in to have it checked out but even then by time you got a service advisor to get a tech to get to the truck it would be clear I bet. I just live with it but if you learn more please post.

Sounds like a borderline wheel sensor, misadjusted wheel sensor  or a poor wheel sensor connection.

I had the same trouble with the stabilitrak and traction control on/off after backing my 5th wheel up into my driveway in 4 low. Now here is a good one for you, I pulled out of the driveway after unhooking and those lights were on, but my rear view camera was stuck on while I was driving, it was kind of weird, then all the sudden it fixed itself.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
