SERVICE BRAKES
WITH ENGINE ON AND GOING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AN 'ABS SYSTEM' WARNING LIGHT CAME OFF ALONG WITH A CONTINUOUS MOTOR TYPE SOUND. I PARKED THE CAR ON SIDE ROAD AND LOUD 'MOTOR' TYPE NOISE CONTINUED COMING UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME AND ABS SYSTEM LIGHT ON WITH CONTINUOUS SOUND DID NOT STOP. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND THE SOUND DID NOT STOP. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, THE SOUND DID NOT STOP AND HAD TO DISCONNECT CAR BATTERY. TOOK CAR INTO CAR DEALERSHIP AND RIGHT AWAY BEFORE CAR WAS FORMALLY TESTED/DIAGNOSED, THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND SERVICE ADVISOR CONFIRMED THE CAR HAD A 'KNOWN' PROBLEM RELATED TO ABCM (ABS CONTROL MODULE). ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM. THIS IS THE REASON WHY I AM SUBMITTING THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, DAMAGED ABCM COMPUTER CAN SEND AN INCORRECT SIGNAL AND THE BREAKS CAN CLOSE WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET CORPORATE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION (SERVICE REQ # 71-1092953268). I WAS INFORMED THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEMS. I DID A QUICK SEARCH IN THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO NOTED THAT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE RELATED ONLY TO 2002 CHEVY TRUCKS, BUT OTHER CAR MODELS AND YEARS. IF THE CARDEALER SERVICE MANAGER IS CORRECT AND THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM, THEN THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INCIDENTS. CAN NHTSA PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND CONFIRM IF THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SPEED CONTROL (CRUISE) DOES NOT HOLD. WHILE GOING DOWN AN INCLINE FROM THE MOUNTAINS, CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET FOR 65 MPH, AND THE VEHICLE INCREASED SPEED TO 85+ MPG BEFORE APPLYING BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND TOOK VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED IN REGARDS TO THIS INCIDENT, AND THEY STATED THAT DUE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, NEW EMISSION STANDARDS THAT TRANSMISSION WAS MADE NOT TO HOLD SO AS NOT TO INCREASE CARBON FOOTPRINT. THIS CAUSES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION WHEN DRIVING WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED. *TR
