Your infotainment touchscreen randomly registers touches and commands that you didn't make — like changing the radio station, menu options, or dashboard displays — while you're driving. These phantom inputs happen without warning, can't be stopped by restarting the vehicle, and force you to take your attention off the road to try to fix it. The touchscreen may also freeze completely or become unresponsive. This is likely a hardware failure of the touchscreen digitizer and may require replacement of the infotainment unit or display panel.

First the brakes went out, then the AC, now the transmission. It has only 60,000 miles.

When pulling out of my driveway my gas pedal foot became stuck on the gas pedal. I could not remove my foot from the gas pedal. I immediately stepped on the brake pedal and then my Tahoe accelerated rapidly. I removed my foot from the brake pedal because any pressure on the brake just caused the car to accelerate faster. I then managed to wiggle my gas pedal foot from off of the gas pedal, it took a lot of effort. I was wearing normal men's shoes with no protrusions of any kind. I have recently seen in the news several similar occurrences including one that resulted in a fatality and others being injured as the car accelerated into an Apple store. In two of these cases that I've seen in the news the drivers have reported that their foot became stuck on the gas pedal and when they applied the brakes the car accelerated out of control. This is exactly what happened to me except i managed to get the car under control before I hit anything. My inspection of the Tahoe's pedals revealed that the two pedals are very close to each other and when applying the brakes the brake pedal comes down on the foot that is somehow stuck on the gas pedal. I believe the stuck accelerator foot was somehow trapped under the brake pedal. The pedals are too close together.
