22 Silverado ZR2. I have ACC, it works great when it works… traveling back from Tennessee tonight I started having issues with it. While traveling at 77mph the truck would randomly slam on the brakes, dropping to 50mph rather quickly… (wide open interstate) thought it was a fluke but happened a few more times. Cleaned camera same problem. I ended up having to disable and use standard cruise control…. It’s going to the dealership Monday. 😒

Not enough information for us to start the typical internet debauchery of speculation galore of the most incredulous manner that amounts to terradiddle.

 

All joking aside, we need more info. What time of day?; which direction were you heading?; and what was the weather like? are all great examples of the info we need.  Personally, I've had ACC fail in a rainstorm, but that was in a Honda CR-V.  I've heard of others having ACC fail when the sun was setting and low in the sky because it messed with cameras.  More info is needed.  The dealership may end up saying something similar if they can't identify a problem.

It was night time around 10 pm weather was clear and 42 degrees. Was traveling west on I20. There was no one in sight in either direction. I would just be moving along and bam the brakes would apply causing the truck to nose dive and locking the seatbelts. No warnings or collision alerts. Gap distance was set as low as possible. Truck is clean with windshield being clean as well. The road was in good condition without hills.

I have had this happen to me occasionally, always at night, normally during cool to cold weather. My guess, based on something I saw on this site, is there was a build up of condensation on the windshield inside the little camera housing. It hasn't happened in a month or two so I haven't been able to pull over and see if it was condensation or not.

Maybe a bird or some other object flew by?   I have occasionally had this happen when someone was near the road such as coming out of a driveway too far.   That's the drawback with all these electronic sensors and camera's, things cause anomalies that some times cannot be explained.  Its not foolproof, it was designed by humans.

Its probably the camera.

 

The ACC camera is inside the plastic housing around the rearview mirror, so unless you took that apart, you didn't actually "clean the camera".

My brand new 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 has been randomly braking, slaming from 75 down to 40. Absolutely nothing around. Clear day, straight roads. I've had it in 4 times, 2 different dealerships. Their solution...they disabled the feature. A safety feature option I paid for. I contacted GM corporate, they contacted the dealerships who said the feature works as it should. If it's working as it should, why disable it?

That "feature" is disabled on the ones that have it in my fleet. It is a junk feature, period. It is there to try to help prevent distracted driving. The biggest safety feature are the eyeballs behind the steering wheel. 

Adaptive cruise, auto braking and super cruise self steering just promotes watching TV or texting on your phone. 

Airline pilots don't put it on auto pilot and take naps.

My ‘22 Sierra Limited did that a couple of times. Had the truck in the dealer for some routine maintenance and they advise they had an update for the cameras which they installed (had not told the service people about it braking). Truck has not done it since. No idea what the update was about.

My 2023 Silverado High Country ACC is flakey also.......

It will sense a car in the next lane over and slam on the brakes when I start to approach it.....had it do the same with a car entering the freeway on the acceleration lane and putting myself and vehicle behind me in a panic situation that was completely unnecessary.  

 

It's a hazard in itself IMHO........talk about getting rear ended when the brakes are slammed on for no reason.

Turn it off.......drive alert and use your own senses, not some computer and camera.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
