Reported on Aug 13, 2013
| HITTING BUMPS IN ROAD THE CAR WOULD QUIT-LOOSING BRAKE ASSIST AND STEERING--THIS HAS BEEN DRIVING ME NUTS SINCE LAST AUGUST (2013) TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO QUIT--AFTER LEARNING OF A RECALL ON OTHER GM'S EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES IT ALL CAME TOGETHER--SO I PAID CLOSE TO ATTENTION THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN THE SWITCH HAD MOVED FROM THE RUN POSITION TO OFF (ACC) POSITION. NEXT I EXPERIMENTED A BIT STARTED THE CAR AT HOME (IN THE DRIVEWAY) AND JUST TOUCHED THE IGNITION SWITCH KEY AND IT MOVED TO THE OFF POSITION VERY EASILY. I'LL BE REPLACING THE SWITCH ASAP. NO THE KEY CHAIN HAS NOT BEEN OVERLOADED (PER GM) | |
