Car experienced complete engine and electrical system failure while accelerating onto busy highway. there was no emergency lane, so brought car to a halt blocking one lane. this was as very dangerous situation. later determined that the cause was a loose hot wire terminal connection to the fuse box. it had either vibrated loose or was not tightened adequately at time of manufacture. local dealer was not interested in reporting this event to the gm data base, so gave me a chevrolet customer service number to call, which i did. *tr

When driving with the engine at lower than normal driving temperature, driver stops at a stop sign and with hard acceleration the engine surges from full power to dying out as tho fuel starved.this continues in a jerking action. until; the driver removes his foot from the accelerator and then presses the gas feed again at which time the engine runs smoothly. this has happened on numerous occasions, however the dealership can find nothing wrong as the engine is now at normal running temp. driver was told the problem is in the throttle body of the fuel system --- help.. *tr
