2008 Chevrolet Uplander

DROVE THE VAN HOME THAT SAME NIGHT,BEFORE WE PULLED IN THE DRIVE WAY , THE VAN OVER HEATED ,THE BRAKES HAD A SPONGY FEEL TO THEM AFTER 15 MINS OF DRIVING , TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEVER WENT PASS THE HALF WAY MAKE WHEN THE RED INDICATOR CAME ON THE VAN TOTALLY SHUT DOWN NO POWER , I ALMOST FLIP THE VAN OVER. I HAVE REPLACE THE BRAKE TWICE IN 3 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER.THEN LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON WHEN TEMPERATURE WERE COLD , RAINY, FOGGY, OUT SIDE , AND WHEN IT GOT HOT TEMPERATURE OUT SIDE THE DASH LIGHT AT NIGHT TIME STARTED TO FLICKER ON AND OFF ,THEN ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER THE DASH LIGHTS STAYED OFF AND NEVER CAME BACK ON. ALSO THE VAN STARTED TO HAVE ENGINE NOT WANTED TO TURN OVER, AND WOULD ALSO LOSS ALL POWER TO VEHICLE LEAVING US STRANDED OUT IN HORRIBLE WEATHER CONDITIONS OUTSIDE WITH ARE CHILDREN. *TR

BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY APPLY THEMSELVES WITHOUT WARNING. HAPPENED PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS. I'M NOT SURE IF BRAKE LIGHTS ACTIVATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS MAKING THIS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER HAD VEHICLE THREE WEEKS, CHARGED FOR LABOR AND PARTS, THEN STATED THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED BUT COULDN'T GET THE AUTOMATIC TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO GO OUT OR THE DIC TO NOT DISPLAY SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM. VEHICLE WAS OKAY FOR ABOUT FOUR WEEKS THEN BRAKES STARTED ACTIVATING AT LOW SPEED AGAIN. CONTACTED GM, THEY REFUSE TO HELP BECAUSE VEHICLE HAS "BRANDED" TITLE. SUGGESTED I TAKE IT BACK TO SAME DEALER AND PAY THEM TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIX. *TR
