SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS MODULE STARTED RUNNING WHEN IT DID NOT NEED TO BE AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I CONTACTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MOLLE CHEVROLET IN BLUE SPRINGS, MO, AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD SEEN THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. THEY WANTED AROUND $1000 TO FIX IT. I FEEL LIKE GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS COMPONENT IF IT IS FAILING WITH SUCH HIGH FREQUENCIES. I DON'T FEEL AS SAFE DRIVING WITHOUT ABS ESPECIALLY IN A PICKUP WHICH IS LIGHT ON THE REAR END AND CAN SLIDE EASILY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
80% OF THE TIMES THAT YOU ATTEMPT TO MOME FROM A STOP THE ACCELLERATOR HANGS UP AND YOU HAVE TO EXERT TREMENDOUS PRESSURE ON THE ACCELLERATOR PEDAL TO BREAK IT LOOSE. THE ONLY SAFE WAY TO DO THIS IS TO PUT THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR THIS DEFECT AT NO COST TO ME EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.*AK
