2010 Chevrolet Express 1500 Cargo problems

“My 2010 Chevrolet Express 1500 AWD Passenger Van was recently in the dealer's shop for work on various sensors and other problems. When the codes were downloaded from the computer, one indicated a faulty passenger side air bag module. At no time had any of the dashboard warning lights indicated a problem with the air bag system, so I had driven an unknown amount of miles without any indication it was malfunctioning, even though the vehicle's computer had an indication of a problem. I have also had repeated intermittent indications of problems with the ABS and Stabilitrack systems, but their cause has never been identified.”

“THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF CUTTING OUT AND STALLING CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES, AND JUST BEFORE IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN IT WILL POWER BACK UP. IN APRIL 2011 AN OPERATOR STATED "INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT APPROX. 10 - 15 MPH WITH ACCELERATION THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND VAN CUTS OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS LIKE SOMEONE SHUT OFF THE KEY, IT POWERS MOST OF THE WAY DOWN AND THEN WILL COME BACK ON ITS OWN." DURING THIS TIME THE STEERING AND BRAKES ARE COMPROMISED. IN NOVEMBER 2011 AN OPERATOR STATED "POWERS DOWN WHILE OPERATING, BRAKES LOCK UP AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP, VAN PULLS TO THE RIGHT IN CORNERS, SEEMS TO BE ABS WITH NO BRAKES APPLIED IN CORNERS/" IN NOVEMBER 2012 IT WAS REPORTED FROM 3 DIFFERENT OPERATORS THAT THE VAN CUT OUT AND EACH OF THEM ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. REPORTS INCLUDED GOING 40-45 MPH INTO A LEFT HAND CURVE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES, AND THE RIGHT HAND TIRE WENT INTO THE DITCH ON THE RIGHT. ANOTHER OPERATOR SAID THE ENGINE DIED AND THE VEHICLE ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH, THE VEHICLE WAS COLD AND THEY HAD JUST BEGUN THEIR TRIP.…”
