"blind spot detection system warning sensor (object sensor/ control module) on my vehicle has gone out. i was driving and all of a sudden my dash goes black. then it cuts back on going haywire, all sorts of lights and warnings came on. i pulled over to check the car out, turning it off to see if a restart would fix the issue and the car would not start. so i had to tow to the dealer which in this pandemic was closed. when the guy at the dealer told me it was bad he said it goes bad from getting wet. cars are supposed to get wet no? after looking online someone said that gm knows about this problem and redesigned the part to work better, yet they want me to pay almost $1000 to fix a problem they fixed for the same reason. this is ridiculous. *tr"

"side detection sensors and wiring harnesd"

"side blind spot detection failure, burning wire smell before failure. two days later right side mirror starts blinking for no reason and then stops, left side does nothing still"

"the passenger side blind zone indicator light in the mirror is malfunctioning. even when the vehicle is off the the light is flickering on and off. i had this exact same problem occur while the vehicle was under warranty and was replaced. i even asked if there was a way to assure that this wasn't going to happen again. the dealer told me that it wouldn't, behold it's back but now my vehicle is out of warranty. not happy and concerned that this issue may cause a electrical fire while it is parked in my garage or have a issue while driving with my family."

"blind spot warning system module sensor 23424941 issue i just had my rear bumper replaced by the auto body shop. when they went to pull both modules out and place them into the new bumper, both of them would not fit due to a corner of the modules expanding from corrosion from inside the module. there are many complaints about these. i should not have to pay for the replacements from gm."

"service side detection sensors. i own a chevy cruse,chevy impala,and a gmc acadia and all 3 of these cars have the same problem. water,salt and dirt get inside of these sensors and they short out. on the impala they shorted out and i could not start the car the next day. the battery died.went to the dealership and they disconnected them till the parts came in. still waiting for the parts. i was told that this will only happen again there is no permanent fix. this is a $1400 repair. not happy!"

"i have a chevy impala 2015 with 1401k miles. i am experiencing gm bulletin n172097060 side blind zone alert module water intrusion issue. i was told by both the dealer (macmulkin chevrolet in nashua) and gm that my issue is not covered due to the fact that my car has exceeded the 80k miles. i told them that i did not receive the notice until my car well exceeded the 80k mileage. the problem is getting extremely worse. it's effecting the whole electrical system of the car. the car's instrument panel is flashing all of the sensor alerts intermittently and my car will not start until i have it towed to a mechanic and they clear the faults. this has happened twice."
