Consumer Description
When the vehicle idles for long periods of time in Park or Drive (standing traffic or sub-5mph traffic) the brakes provide no stopping power. Upong shifting into N, and speeding up idle over 2000 rpm for at least 20 seconds, the "braking/stopping power" goes back to normal. Not being a mechanic, but car familiar, it's as if the solenoid at long idles does not provide adequate assist power to effectively stop the vehicle. This has caused problems in long traffic lines on 95 south of DC heading to Richmond when traffic begins moving and suddenly slows there is no braking power unless shifting into idle and rev. It also commonly occurs in snowy traffic when things are moving slow. It also occurs in summer idle situations in parking lots if the car is left running and then attempting to pull away there is no braking power. Frontal collisions are a risk, and generally low speed runs ins. Ive had this checked by Chevy dealer/service shops twice and they claim it is not reproducable. There are no warning lights and all recalls have been serviced. This issue occurs at numerous times since owning the vehicle.
