| 2007 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | DRIVING TO WORK, WE HAD SOME LIGHT SNOW AND THE WIND WAS RATHER STRONG. I DRIVE A 2007 CHEVY COBALT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON MENTIONING REDUCED POWER. SECONDS LATER TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. AT THAT POINT IN TIME I CAN NOT ACCELERATE OR BRAKE AT ALL. I TIRED TO PUSH THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD WITH NO EFFECT. GAVE UP ON THAT AND USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND HAVE IT TOWED. LUCKILY I WAS GOING RATHER SLOWLY DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER, AND THERE WERE NO CARS AHEAD OF ME. THE CHEVY DEALER BLAMED IT ON A FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR. *TR |
| 2007 | PARKING BRAKE | ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE ON MY CHEVY COBALT, THE BRAKE HANDLE WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THE VEHICLE HAS A STANDARD TRANSMISSION SO OTHER THAN PLACING THE CAR IN GEAR, THERE IS NO OTHER MEANS TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING. BECAUSE THE BRAKE WILL NOT STAY ENGAGED AT ALL THE CAR MUST BE SHUT OFF AND PLACED IN GEAR TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING EVEN WHILE ENGAGING IN SUCH SHORT TERM FUNCTIONS AS OPENING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE BRAKES THEMSELVES WORK, IT IS ONLY THE HAND BRAKE THAT WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. *TR |
