VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
FAILURE OF ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEMS TO REDUCE IDLE RPM ON DECELERATION IS CAUSING UNDUE STRAIN ON BRAKING SYSTEM AND PREMATURE WEAR OF COMPONENTS. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS AND HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY WHILE IN GEAR AND EVEN DOWNSHIFTING DUE TO THE ENGINE'S DELAY IN REDUCING THE IDLE SPEED HAS FORCED THE DRIVER TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL TO DURING BRAKING TO DISABLE THE ENGINE FROM THE DRIVE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM MAY BE LINKED TO OTHER MODELS WITH FAULTY EGR VALVES BUT HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY MY DEALER. THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS TO DOWNLOAD A NEW PROGRAM INTO THE ECM, BUT IT HASN'T WORKED.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
CONTAMINATION OF COOLING SYSTEM DUE TO DEX-COOL. ENTIRE SYSTEM MUST BE FLUSHED AND HEATER CORE REPLACED. CHEVROLET MOTOR DIV. HAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF THE COST, ALTHOUGH IT IS NO LONGER UNDER THEIR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH DEX-COOL AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING TO IT, AS THEY CLAIM THAT IT SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE CHANGED FOR 5 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CONTAMINATION AFTER BRINGING MY CAR IN FOR A SLOSHING, GURGLING SOUND UNDER THE DASH. *AK
