NHTSA complaint 10854646WHEN DRIVING A MESSAGE ON MY INFORMATION CENTER POPS UP WHICH STATES THAT TAKING MY EYES OFF THE ROAD CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT,ECT. THIS MAKES ME TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO SEE IT AND AGAIN TO DELETE IT. SO THIS IS A HAZZARD. GM SAID THERE IS NOTHING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ABOUT IT , AND ENGINEERING THINKS THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I TOUCH A BUTTON ON THE INSTURMENT PANEL WHEN DRIVING. BUT IT HAPPENS TO APPEAR WHEN IM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE NOT TOUCHED ANY CONTROL BUTTON. , THIS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION. SINCE I CANNOT DUPLICATE IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM, WHEN IT DOES OCCUR AGAIN I WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF IT. THE MESSAGE WILL NOT CANCEL ON ITS OWN AND BLOCKES EVERYTHING ON THE MESSAGE CENTER UNTIL I MANUALLY SHUT IT OFF
