Aug 12, 2022Lane Departure

I keep getting a message stating "service side detection system" every time my car is started. This happened shortly after getting a car wash. I no longer can use the blind spot system in my car. I have done some research online and have seen that this is a common issue in chevy cars, (NHTSA Bulletin Subject N172097060) and I'm seeing a few videos pop up on Youtube(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW6pyWp2uKo). I have yet to take it to the dealer as I keep reading online that it will cost $500+ to fix but I'm willing to in order to get some kind of investigation started to make Buick/GM pay for the repair.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2017 Buick Verano verdict →
