First off, go ask your mechanic if he mostly works on Chevys! If he answers yes, you know why he fed you a line of BS! The loss of speed is NOT normal, the cruise typically keeps the car within a few MPH of setpoint(as long as it doesn't have to downshift). As far as the high beam "flash", it doesn't matter if he only works on Chevys or not, he is full of CRAP!

Here is a list of suspect items for the deceleration issue:
1: Cruise control "computer" most likely.
2: A leaky actuator diaphragm (a manual vacuum pump can be used to test this)
3: Related to problem cause noted below (try this first).

As far as the high beam flash issue, one thing comes to mind... the turn signal switch or the associated harness.

Good luck!
John
