The DIC (Driver Information Center) keeps failing since I bought the car. The volume shoots up, the controls will not work, the screen freezes and then goes black, the rear camera stays on in forward motion, it does not always reset after turning off vehicle and opening door. My dealership replaced the module and reprogrammed it. This did not work and it failed shortly after. It went back in the shop again - GM did not have an update for my vin to correct the issue. The dealer is ordering another new DIC this month. It is alarming to be driving the veh and have the volume shoot up to the max and the controls on screen, button or steering wheel will not allow you to fix it. You have to pull over quickly, turn off veh and open door for it to reset. It occurs regularly in my veh. This is a safety issue.

1. the car allow driver to push power off ( engine off) when car is not in P. which is a hazard since driver always want to brake off and get off the car when push power off button. The incident is when I push power off button and open the driver door and almost ready to get off and realize the car is moving since Shifter is not in P which is very dangerous that might hit surrounding and injure drive 2. when car driver door is open, allow driver shift to R or D with the alarm( sound) off. the insident is when I was backing up my car with door not fully closed. I see the door open indication light shows on cluster with 2s alarm then alarm went off and car start moving back. it is really a safety hazard that driver may on the road or freeway with door not fully closed.

I was also unable to see important information like service lights due to the faulty dashboard. Other times it happens right after I start the car in the garage. Also noticed when the dash goes black the climate control system starts to act weird and turns on and off randomly

We were sold a new vehicle with known computer problems. The dealership knew of the defects but sold it to us anyway. They consider it a warranty issue. Chevrolet doesn’t seem to care.
