Is the change to uphill also when driving towards the sun when it is fairly low?

 

When camera (behind windshield, ahead of rearview mirror is blinded (sun, snow, mud, bugs etc) adaptive cruise kicks out.

 

I use adaptive cruise almost all the time. 

I've never had it kick out on a grade.

Is it raining when adaptive cruise falls?  I was recently in Orlando, Florida and had a Honda CR-V is a rental car.  It had adaptive cruise.  Ended up dealing with a few rainstorms that were heavy enough to cause adaptive cruise to stop working.

 

My total experience with adaptive cruise so far has me glad I don't have it on my truck.  I doubt I'll ever purchase that option.

Sounds like you were going toward the sun as stated above. There are spots I drive in the afternoon that will cut it off because the sun is glaring at that spot. After about a mile I turn it back on and continue.

I've had no issues with adaptive cruise control and actually use it and really like it. Knowing some factors that could turn it off will help ease the mind.

I have had my truck since 12/2020 and up until about 3 months ago,  ACC worked flawlessly.  But in the last 2-3 months it kicked out 3x, 2x in one day on the same 200 miles run.  It shuts off and say its temporarily unavailable.  No other vehicles in sight, 2-lane rural blacktop, level terrain, no hills but long periods on cruise.   I talked to a GM service about it and they said, some times these electronics have a mind of their own and you won't find anything amiss?  Probably true.

I'm 100% with you Transient ! My wife's 2015 Highlander has adaptive cruise and I hate it. I am very happy my 2020 Silverado does not have it !!

I dont use use CC in the rain. Otherwise my 15 CRV adaptive CC works best on two lane roads. Like anything else it takes getting used to. I find myself using it more.

Is the road shaded by trees in some spots? The reason I say is when I'm driving a road near the house it comes to a shaded part at the end the trees stop and the sun is bright and uncovered there. My ACC will kick off with the unavailable message. After about a mile I can restart the ACC and continue on without problems.

CC in the rain is a rookie move.  Try doing it in a blizzard, lol.

 

Note:  Nobody should actually try this.  Fortunately, if you do, GM has written the cruise control programming so it automatically disengages is the vehicle detects a slipping wheel.

I think Adaptive Cruise Control works best for idiots that can't take their eyes off their phone while driving.

Just imagine if they could shock the seat when the light turns green. Or pull up to the line.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
