This complaint is for a defect in a 2001 Oldsmobile-siloutte van.as I was driving on a main highway at 55mph(cruise set) the van went out of control and almost rolled. The van swerved also in oncoming traffic. I managed to get it under control but was a very scary ordeal! I had the van towed to my car dealer and found out a sensor attached to the motor (approx 2ft long) came loose and got caught in the serpetine belt. The car dealer repair department re-attached this part where it belonged. Luck- there was no on-coming traffic!!
