That doesn't sound too safe. Stay away from that CC, until you get the computer looked at. Be safe, bro.

Really need to sort out the Cruise Control computer as it should be seperate to the main ECU. I happened to me in my Father in laws Cherokee, luckilly, it wasn't that quick to start with!!

Cruise Control?

It occurs that mine crapped out sometime last winter and hasn't worked since.
I hate that car.

I will put money on the fact the Alero will break down as you are going to pick up your new 'Stang. Cars hear you when you slag them off and get you back for it!!

POOR ALERO!

Hey Look!
General Mistake just issued a recall for sticky accelerators:

I hate them.

As for the alero- I accept the fact I am being punished, and it is worthless, and I have to continue to pay for it for another year because I can't trade it in. Lifes lesson- live and learn. (And don't buy GM crap products)

WTFFH?

Trust me when I say I do not peel out of a parking spot or my garage(only redlights and sailing over railroad tracks, nother story)

For the past 3 days when I stick my car into reverse the low traction light comes on more times than not.

That dummy light is supposed to tell you one or more tires lost traction and only when you are peeling off or its rainy, not hey you are reversing! WTF?

Anyone know?
