Vehicle shuts down during operation. I just saw there is a recall on your site saying same problem but mine didnt qualify. I have burned wires in harness to instrument panel. I found two wires at harness where code reader plugs into . O was able to ground them but now a couple months later same problem. I found burnt wires in harness and I cannot access to evaluate or replace. I've completed repairs myself, I am poor and dont know any honest affordable mechanics as I am capable of most reasonable repairs. I think my van falls under overheating panel warranty as described by this website. I still have 2 years of payments on van

ON FRIDAY JANUARY 29TH 2010 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I REAR ENDED A SUV. MY 2001 CHEVROLET EXPRESS VAN WOULD NOT STOP DUE TO ANTI LOCK BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM TOOK OVER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED FORWARD NEVER SLOWING DOWN UNTIL I STRUCK THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IF THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES HAD NOT TAKEN OVER MY VEHICLE. I HAD A MORE THAN A FIVE SECOND SPACE BETWEEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

THE OLDEST WORK ORDER WAS DATED 8/15/06 AND THE MOST RECENT ON 3/23/07. I HAVE ASKED FOR THEM TO CHECK SERVICE BULLETINS AND WITH GM'S MAINTENANCE HELP DEPARTMENT. ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY STALL/CRANK PROBLEM DOES NOT PRODUCE A CODE TO TRIGGER THE SERVICE WARNING LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE.

MADE COMPLAINTS TO GM THEY SAID GO TO THE DEALER THE DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG OR STATED THE CONVERSION COMPANY WAS AT FAULT VICIOUS RUN AROUND AND NOTHING GOT ACCOMPLISHED WE ARE WAITING TO GET INTO COURT BECAUSE WE REFUSED TO PAY FOR NEW BRAKES AFTER WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG UNTIL THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AND THEY CHARGED US $600 FOR BRAKES .

THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS TOO GM DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS NOR DO THEY UPGRADE PARTS TO ACCOMMODATE ANY ADDED WEIGHT OR CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL BODY OR ENGINE. *NM
