1. 2011 WAS DRIVING IN WACO, TX, AS I MADE A LEFT TURN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, WITHIN SEC THE CAR STOPPED. COASTED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD, AFTER 5 MIN WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR. DROVE APPROX 2 MI, MADE 2 LEFT TURNS,1 RIGHT TURN. WHEN I MADE THE RIGHT TURN, THE CAR ENGINE CAME TO A STOP. IN 10 OR 15 MIN WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR AND DROVE APPROX 2 MI TO ALLEN SAMUELS CHEV DEALER IN WACO. THEY KEPT THE CAR A FEW DAYS, THEY DROVE IT NUMEROUS TIMES TRYING TO REPLICATE THE ENGINE STOPPAGE. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE STOPPAGE, BUT DURING TROUBLE SHOOTING, FOUND A CABLE CONNECTOR LOOSE ON THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED THAT. THEY FELT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. 2. SEP 5, 2014. WAS ON ENTRANCE RAMP TO INTERSTATE, WAS ACCELERATING TO ENTER TRAFFIC, THE CAR ENGINE BEGAN TO STUTTER/STALL, WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO AN EXIT RAMP LANE, THE ESC INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY, THEN THE WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON THAT THE ENGINE WAS REDUCING POWER, WITHIN SECONDS THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED.

REQUEST AND RECOMMEND: [XXX] THIS WEB SITE SHOWS MULTIPLE SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH CHEVYS OF DIFFERENT YEARS AND SHOWS THAT LIFE AND DEATH INJURIES WILL OCCUR WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPS WITHOUT ADEQUATE WARNING. 4. WHEN THE CAR IS RETURNED TO ME, I PLAN ON KEEPING THE ESC OFF UNTIL ISSUE IS RESOLVED. I FEEL STRONGLY THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR, HAD THIS INCIDENT ON SEP 5TH HAPPENED A COUPLE OF MIN LATER AFTER I HAD ENTERED INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS INJURY TO ME AND TO OTHERS. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
