UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT ON A LEVEL TWO-LANE HIGHWAY THAT CARRIES HIGH TRAFFIC RATES, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ENGINE POWER, BEGAN TO FEEL AS THOUGH THE BRAKES CAME ON, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIMMED, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL STARTED FLASHING. VEHICLES BEHIND ME QUICKLY BRAKED TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION, AS THEIR HEADLIGHT BEAMS RAPIDLY CHANGED DIRECTION AND DIPPED TOWARDS THE PAVEMENT. THEN ABOUT 6~8 SECONDS LATER THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT REMAINED ON FULL ILLUMINATION, THEN WENT OUT, AND THE ENGINE SPEED PICKED UP. AS I ALMOST WAS IN A SURPRISE REAR-END COLLISION, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST, OPEN CHEVROLET DEALER THE EARLIEST I COULD GET IT DIAGNOSED. IT TURNS OUT THE STEERING SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $392.00. SURPRISE POWER LOSS AND SUBSEQUENT BRAKING MAKING A DANGEROUS SITUATION AT HIGHER HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS WHAT MADE ME GET IT REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE ISSUE IS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THEY INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF, SPRAYING WASHER FLUID, REGARDLESS OF THE SWITCH SETTING. THE WIPERS WILL COME ON AND SPRAY WASHER FLUID WITHIN THE FIRST MINUTE OF STARTING THE VEHICLE, AND WILL TURN THEMSELVES OFF WHEN IN USE, OR GO INTO A CONTINUOUS SPRAY MODE WHEN BEING USED, CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE NONEXISTENT. WHEN THE FUSE WAS PULLED TO PREVENT FURTHER SCRATCHING TO THE WINDSHIELD FOR A TEMPORARY REPRIEVE, THE WIPERS CONTINUED TO GO, WITH NO CHANGE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 135,000 MILES. THE ISSUE FIRST STARTED THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER 2015 AND HAS PROGRESSED SINCE THEN. IT BEGAN WITH ONE SWIPE OF THE WIPERS JUST AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND HAS TURNED INTO AN ISSUE DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS.
