ENGINE
ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW WITHIN A TWO WEEK TIME FRAME, VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES I WAS IN MOTION AT APPROX. 25 TO 35 MPH. GET IT OVER TO PUT IN PARK AND IT DOES START UP SO FAR. I HAVE CHILDREN AND I COMMUTE ON AN EXTREMELY BUSY FREEWAY. WHAT IF THIS FAILURE OCCURS WHILE I'M MOVING AT 70MPH PLUS? MY MECHANIC HAS REPLACED SOME PARTS IN HOPES IT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON/OFF FOR MONTHS BUT NOTHING OF A MAJOR CONCERN IS SHOWING UP ON THE COMPUTER. I UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE HAS 150K MILES BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE HELP.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STEERING
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT OUT OF STATE. I WAS TRAVELING DURING THE EVENING HOURS TO TRY TO AVOID HEAVY TRAFFIC. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DIM LIGHTS AND COULD ONLY PROCEED USING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS. THE NEXT THING I REALIZE IS THAT I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I THEN PROCEEDED TO SLIDE DOWN AN EMBANKMENT APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET. MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED ENORMOUS DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED BY MY INSURER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE REAR LIFTGATE WIPER NOT FUNCTIONING. IT FIRST STARTED BY RUNNING SLOWER AND SLOWER, THEN FINALLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING COMPLETELY. I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE NOW, AND BOTH TIMES THE WIPER MOTOR WOULD FUNCTION FOR A VERY BRIEF TIME, THE FIRST TIME AROUND IT DIDN'T LAST FOR 36 HOURS BEFORE CEASING TO FUNCTION AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO NUMEROUS FORUMS TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM, SUCH AS TRAILVOY.COM, AND IT IS QUITE APPARENT TO ME THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, WITH LITTLE HOPE OF AN EASY REPAIR. IT APPEARS THE SUSPECT PART, THE LGM, CAN'T BE ORDERED OR REPLACED BY THE COMMON MAN, AND MANY OF US DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO CONTINUALLY BE TAKING THE VEHICLES TO THE SERVICE BAY OF OUR LOCAL CHEVY, GM OR BUICK DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MANY REASONS, BUT PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN A RURAL ENVIRONMENT OF DIRT/GRAVEL ROADS AS THE DRAFT AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ALWAYS CAUSES THE LIFT GLASS TO BECOME SOILED, REDUCING VISIBILITY TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES, WHICH MAKES FOR LESS SAFETY WHEN CHANGING LANES, BACKING UP AND SO ON. ADDITIONALLY, THERE HAS BEEN NO SOLUTION ISSUED YET FOR THE FLICKERING HEADLIGHT ISSUE THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR LAST YEAR FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS BECOMING MADDENING, IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG. APPARENTLY NONE OF THE HIGHER UPS AT GM LIVE IN REGIONS WHERE THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL DEER POPULATION. THANKFULLY I HAVE YET TO HIT ONE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GIVEN VERY LITTLE ATTENTION BY GM.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WIPER PUMP (WATER) WENT OFF CONTINUOUSLY (ON THEIR OWN) AND WOULD NOT STOP. THE WATER SPRAYER KEPT SQUIRTING WATER AND THE WIPERS KEPT GOING NON STOP. NOTHING WE DID WOULD MAKE IT STOP. FINALLY HAD TO DISCONNECT THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE, JUST TO MAKE THE WIPERS AND WATER STREAMING STOP. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING-VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
