VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK ON A ICY ROAD, MY ACCELERATOR STUCK AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. IT THEN RELEASED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD WHERE IT STUCK AGAIN. I LOST CONTROL OF THE PICKUP AND SLID INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHERE I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE ACCELERATOR STICKING WAS THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK AND I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I HAVE A 1998 CHEVY SILVERADO 4X4 1 TON PICKUP. I WAS HAVING TERRIBLE OVER HEATING PROBLEMS, SUDDENLY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ONE DAY AND I STOPPED AND OPENED THE RADIATOR IT LOOKED LIKE BLACK SLUDGE. AFTER TAKING IT TO BE FIXED I FIND IT IS THE COOLANT THAT CHEVY INSTALLS CALLED DEXCOOL AND IT IS CAUSING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS FOR MOST CHEVY CONSUMERS. WHAT CAN WE DO? I HAVE TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE AFTER THEY EMPTIED OUT 1/2 GALLON OF THE SLUDGE FROM MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU, [XXX]. *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
