Vauxhall Adam sporadic system failures

I'm having sporadic errors in driving mode and intermittent error lamps on my 2013 Vauxhall Adam with a gasoline engine. Audio and navigation systems also fail sometimes, and I've seen temporary shutdowns of control units. A diagnostic scan showed stored errors. Anyone else had this?

Sounds familiar. I've got a Vauxhall Adam myself, though I'm not sure about the year, and I had similar symptoms a while back. Sporadic system failures, especially with the audio and navigation. It was incredibly frustrating. Did you notice if it happened more in certain weather conditions?

I haven't specifically correlated the occurrences with particular weather conditions. Could you elaborate on the nature of the problem you encountered and the steps taken to rectify it?

Well, it turned out to be a defective cable connection to the control unit, specifically impacting the BUS system. Honestly, I was pulling my hair out before figuring it out. I'd suggest getting it checked out by a workshop; they'll be able to pinpoint the exact issue and avoid endless guesswork. I got mine sorted for around 155€.

I appreciate your insight and recommendation. I will schedule an appointment with a qualified workshop to investigate the cable connection to the control unit, focusing on the BUS system. It is reassuring to hear that a similar issue was resolved successfully. Thank you again for your assistance.
