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.  

 

Perhaps the dealer needs to re-align the camera that is in front of the rearview mirror.

It’s happening on both sides of the vehicle explain that???

not sure how that could be an alignment issue….

Might not be the adaptive cruise, but the truck is seeing something that is causing emergency braking to kick in or has a faulty camera or sensor sending a signal so the truck 'thinks' something is there. 

 

All '23 1500 pickups have UHY and UKJ

......or it's a piss poor design and/or implementation. Try mentioning it to the dealer and they say it works just fine. 

During a test drive of a different 2023 High Country than I purchased, with the sales guy in the vehicle, it did the same thing. Excuses from the salesman abound. 

 

Turn it off and problem fixed.....not worth the hassle or safety issues it presents.

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?

Hello, SHERYL SKRZYPCZAK. Please know our team is only an email away if you are ever in need of assistance. Thank you and have a great day.

This has happened several times on my fathers 2023 Chev Silverado.

Solution: Dealer says turn off adaptive cruise control. 

Asked about a refund - they offered a free oil change.

Someone is going to be killed due to this problem...I suppose that is when they will be force to do something about it.

I have a 2021 Silverado High Country. Great truck. But the ACC has tweaked on me as well but only when going uphill. It's as if the computer is interpreting the road as captured by the camera as a collision threat and then braked very hard causing me to have to turn the cruise off as quickly as possible to regain speed and actually avoid someone from colliding with me from behind! Then...the ACC won't rearm for several minutes thereafter for some reason. It's frustrating since I do like the feature even though I don't rely on it to text or otherwise not stay alert. There are too many "non-alert" drivers out there already to do that! It doesn't sound like there is a universal diagnosis of the problem or fix either. Someone mentioned using cruise control without ACC. I guess I didn't realize that was possible on a vehicle equipped with ACC. How exactly is that done? Thanks!

When it activates, the text box that comes up should indicate which mode it is in, and how to change modes. 

 

It's also in the owners manual

(this is from a '23 manual, but it operated the same on my '21)

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
