2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Jul 19, 2021 · Electrical · PA

Sometimes when driving all the electrical equipment will turn off for a brief moment. When this happens all the warning lights come on. Sometimes prior to this happening the dashboard lights will begin to flicker. Service lights such as "service traction control" will come on then go off, the headlights would noticably flicker and the cruise control would randomly turn off. This problem has not been replicated by the independent garage it was taken too however there were codes for low and high voltages thrown. The garage couldn't find anything wrong with it but replaced the battery and alternator. The problem went away for a brief period of time but will randomly come back from time to time. The key also would sometimes get in the ignition and this progressed untill the key became fully stuck and the car had to be serviced. Many others have these same complaints.

Intermittent electrical issues while in motion or at stopped-when using the turn signal, cruise control, and brakes the electrical panel (including radio, dash lights, and signals turn off for 3-5 seconds. After taking the captiva to a chevrolet garage, they suspect the positive and negative battery cables are to blame due to many complaints on this vehicle type. I have not yet proceeded with repairs at this time. This has been occurring since approximately april 2015.
