I LOOKED AT OTHER CARS AROUND ME AND DECIDED MAY BE I WAS GOING A LITTLE FAST. SO I SLOWED DOWN A BIT. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT UP TO 100.

WHILE MAKING A TURN LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THEN, EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. CONSUMER LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER OR BRAKE. AFTER STRUGGLING CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT HAD NO POWER. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT A SHORT IN A FUEL PUMP WIRE CAUSED A FUSE TO BLOW OUT, WHICH IN TURN, SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. CONSUMER STATED THAT DEALER PUT VEHICLE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, AND THE MAIN COMPUTER SHOWED NO FAILURE. HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THERE HAD BEEN SOME OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *AK
