ONCE OR TWICE PER YEAR WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL, WHEN I TOUCH BRAKE TO DEACTIVATE CRUISE, IT DOESN'T DISENGAGE. I THEN HAVE TO STAND ON BRAKE WITH ALL MY EFFORT TO STOP VAN AND PULL OVER TO PUT IN PARK. ENGINE CONTINUES RACING TIL I TURN KEY OFF. THEN EVERYTHING OK TIL NEXT TIME MAYBE MONTHS LATER. SWITCK ON BRAKE PETAL IS OK. ONCE IN THE WINTER, CRUISE CONTROL PUSHED ME INTO AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY OTHER TRAFFIC REALIZED I COULDN'T STOP. NO CODES SHOW UP TO IDENTIFY CAUSE.

WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY WITH GRAVEL ROADS. ALL OF OUR CHEVROLET VEHICLES HAVE HAD BRAKE LINES ROT OUT. OUR FORD AND DODGE VEHICLES HAVE NOT. THE CHEVROLET ASTRO VANS WE HAVE EXHIBIT A PROPENSITY FOR THE BRAKE LINE ROTTING OUT OVER THE GAS TANK AS WELL AS THE BRAKE LINES OVER THE FRONT FRAME MEMBERS. THE BRAKE LINES ON 20 YEAR OLD FORD VEHICLES LOOK AS GOOD AS NEW UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. MY 1994 CHEVROLET K-3500 PICKUP HAS BLOWN BRAKES LINES DUE TO ROT ALONG WITH THE BACK PART OF THE FRAME THAT RUSTED OUT. I JUST READ WHERE YOU HAVE ADVISED WASHING THE UNDERSIDE OF CHEVROLET VEHICLES SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. WELL THE LINES ROTTING OUT ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK AND THE FRONT FRAME R

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET ASTRO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START UNTIL AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE CONTACT PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WAITED TEN MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED ITS NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ASSURED THE CONTACT THAT AFTER PAYING FOR THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE WOULD BE RESOLVED. THE FUEL PUMP, STARTER, MOTOR MOUNTS, AND GENERATOR WERE ALL REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS

IT STARTED WITH MY ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. THEN I STARTED TO ENCOUNTER ANTI LOCK PULSATIONS WHEN I SLOWED DOWN AND COMING TO A STOP, SOME TIMES I COULDN'T EVEN STOP WHEN & WHERE I WANTED. BRAKING DISTANCE STARTED BEING LONGER. THEN SOME TIME LATER I FELT AS THOUGH SOMEONE STUCK A BRICK UNDER MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS, I GUARANTEE YOU, I COULDN'T STOP. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME AS I CRUISED ON THOUGH THE STOP LIGHT! I WAS TOLD THAT MY ABS SENSORS WERE SLOWLY MALFUNCTIONING MOST LIKELY DUE TO CORROSION, A PROVEN DESIGN DEFECT. THEN MY ABS MODULE WILL GET SHORTED, AND THERE IS NO FAIL/SAFE WHEN IT GOES. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE MODULE F
