What Do You Do When . . .

.. . . the cruise control on your 2005 Malibu LS , 3.5V6 cuts out
intermittently and does not operate at cabin/outdoor temperatures
abvoe 80 degrees, aaannnnd:

The Chevy dealer you bought it from says they can't find anything,
physically or via OBDII and cannot duplicate the problem?

I'm at my wits end and would like your opnions about what recourse I
have here.

Replace the brake switch. It is the most likely cause and is cheap and easy
to do.

What sort of chevy? (I will only consider a corvette and only if it's
real steal of deal, because well, I really don't like some significant
things about corvettes but if the deal was good enough I could live with
what I don't like about them since none of it is stop-go-turn related.

Oh, probably one of their big pickup trucks, or a Yukon, or whatever yields
the
most profit. They have a large stock of them now, and rebates have been
good.

GM were on their way to becoming "replace as a unit" cars, you know ;>)

How about FORD? Fix Or Repair Daily.

I am not knocking American vehicles.

Can you videotape a short drive in the car where you can show that it
falls out of cruise control? If you can do that a few times on tape
that should be proof enough.

What a whiner. I've been driving for 30 years with no cruise control.

My 1978 Dodge van and my 1983 Dodge van have cruise control.The cruise
control on my 1978 Dodge van doesn't work, it was like that when I
bought the van in 1989.I bought my 1983 Dodge van about three weeks
ago.I haven't tried out the cruise control to see if it works or not.My
cruise control is my right foot.
