This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
On I71 interstate, entering I264 ramp, traffic went from 60 mph to basically stopped extremely quick, no choice but to slam on the brakes, I had locked up the rear brakes, anti-lock on front, the pedal suddenly went to the floor, miraculously I only touch the car in front, ,,we pulled over, along with 6 other cars, ,we found no damage to the front of mine, nor the rear of the car in front of me, no one hit me from behind. I limped home on the emergency brake, and found the front right caliper line wet with spray indications 12" around the failed line which is mounted on the rear of the main-cross member of the frame...all brake lines on my van, whether in the spray line from wheels or not, are very corroded...the whole system will need to be replaced.
This van has a slow down mode that varies. When reached at a steady 55mph the gas pedal was released and it took 1 mile to slow to 35mph. Also noticed that on the highway when going downhill the van felt like it was free wheeling with no engine hold back. If the cruise control was set the van would maintain the same set speed up and downhill with noticeable engine hold back downhill. It may operate in one mode for many days before it changes to the other. Two Chevrolet dealers said this was normal. At times if I remove my foot from the pedal at 30mph the van will maintain that speed for 2 blocks.
