WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY OR FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 35-70 MPH, MY GMC ACADIA WILL RANDOMLY DISABLE THE STEERING ASSIST, LANE KEEP ASSIST, AND FORWARD COLLISION AUTOMATIC BRAKING AS WELL AS DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE. THE ERROR WOULD SHOW THAT THESE FEATURES WERE DISABLED ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN AROUND THE SPEEDOMETER AND COULD NOT MANUALLY BE RE-ENABLED WITH THE BUTTONS THROUGHOUT THE CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT, THE FEATURE WOULD RESET AS IF NOTHING HAS WENT WRONG. SOMETIMES IT WILL REVERT BACK TO THE SAME ISSUE(S) 5-10 MINUTES LATER, AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL FOR A FEW DAYS OR EVEN WEEKS BEFORE STARTING BACK OVER AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS.
