| The car will shut down without warning. i have experienced this when accelerating, braking, and when driving down the road with neither acceleration or braking. i have researched this on line and it seems like a lot of people are experiencing this with no known resolution to the problem. every incident where i see it reported, the individual has not had a fix. the first incident was 3 weeks ago, then last night, and again this morning. if this were to happen in the middle of an intersection people would get hurt. personally i plan to buy a new car because i do not feel that chevrolet dealership will provide a fix. *tr | |||

| Complete and total lock up of power setaring; battery light flicks on and then everything locks up until you relace the gas peddle for about 3 seconds. my lights randomly flash and rear bulbs on the driver side blow every 3 days. my turn signals will spraticaly blink and the wiper blades go off with out warning or being prompted.even with no keys near or in the car it will not turn over to start the car until you floor the gas peddle and hold it there for 3-5 seconds. my raido reads at -19* all the time and the cd player has never worked correctly. when going from 0 to 50 getting on the parkway (highway) the whole car locks up and loses power including the stearing radio and lights unless you completely relese the gas then start to go again. im so highly frustraited and chevy refuses to fix it even though these are all recalled problems but my vin doesnt fall in there bracket | |||
