Just picked up my 2020 High Country last night..today when on highway coming home, my adaptive cruise control shut off twice on its own and had an error message on screen that I attached below.. wth? It wouldn't work for like 5 minutes and then I was able to use it again for like 2 minutes and it shut itself off again. I was able to use the regular cruise control after though? Any thoughts or experiences?

The cruise uses the front camera. If it's dirty it may not work. I have issues if I dive into the rising sun in the morning with the adaptive cruise shutting off (I assume the same would happen at sunset).

You do know you can shut off the adaptive cruise and just use regular cruise. Holding down the cancel button toggles between regular and adaptive cruise.

Where you driving into the sun? Mine does this as well. I drive a road with trees shading it daily. Once I hit the end of the shade and the sun is bright. It will do exactly what you see. After a few miles driving it will work fine again. It's the same thing as you driving into the sun without sunglasses or a shade pulled down. It temporarily blinds the camera and shuts off for safety. FYI the camera is up on the top of the windshield in the pod by the rear view mirror. Also in winter when the window is fogged up. The system won't work till the camera can see even if the window is good.

Sounds like a crappy technology they use. All my other vehicles not Chevy/GMC, going back 7 years have never had problems

I guess so. This is the 1st vehicle I've had with adaptive cruise and though it has some quirks it works fine for me. I'd rather it err on the side of caution than maybe cause an accident.

I believe it's the camera that is ahead of the rearview mirror.

 

 

I use adaptive cruise about 80 or 90% of the time. 

 

I've had the 'temporarily unavailable' message come up twice -- both times running directly into setting evening sun. 

 

 

Of course its' super easy to switch between adaptive and regular cruise....or maybe run 'old school' for a bit...

 

 

The OM has are 8 or 9 pages of details about how it works and what it can be affected by.

I've had it happen once as well - figured it was from 1500 miles of bugs on my camera. Pulled over at the next rest stop, and it was fairly clean. I was driving into the sun though. It started working after a few minutes. 

 

I did find that you can turn adaptive off by holding down the cancel cruise button for 5-10 seconds.

I have had this happen since I got the Truck new in Dec 2020. It has to be related to the camera in the rearview. Sun and also ice have caused mine. Due to the location, defroster does not knock the ice off there at Rear view mirror assembly. Discovered the ice issue when the ice had set in overnight and we headed south and the roads were clear but the windshield was not yet. I dont think there is an issue to fix. Just going to deal with it

Anecdotal, but I had adaptive cruise shut off on my probably a dozen times in my 13500 mile ownership. Then it finally just quit completely. I'm not saying it was failing the whole time, but it did finally quit on me. I guess I'll be driving another month without it because GM can't/won't get parts. 

 

Side note, my Outback before this never once had an eyesight issue. Nor has my fiancées forester. I'm really disappointed in the vehicle I have paid twice as much for as anything before it.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
