VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THROTTLE STICKS AT IDLE POSITION. I ALMOST LAUNCHED MY BOAT AND TRUCK BOTH INTO THE LAKE DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE FORCE REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE THROTTLE. I TOOK TO DEALER TO COMPLAIN, AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT CLEANED. I DID. NOW UNDER A YEAR LATER THE PROBLEM IS COMING BACK. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED VIA A RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. *NLM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
MY 2000 CHEVROLET 2500 SILVERADO THROTTLE STICKS SHUT WHEN FIRST STARTED. MINE HAS A 6.0 LITER V-8, BUT I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT ENGINES AND MODEL YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE PEDAL STICKS SO HARD THAT IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT TO MAKE IT RELEASE RESULTING IN LARGE BURST OF SPEED AND LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DEALERS REFUSE TO CORRECT EXCEPT UNDER WARRANTY WHICH I NO LONGER HAVE. THE FACTORY KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE AS WELL BUT WILL NOT CORRECT WITHOUT BEING PAID. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. *NLM

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY, I RECEIVED A LETTER SHORTLY AFTER NOTICING THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE WIPERS AND THE LETTER STATED THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE FIXED IF I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP "ONLY IF IT WAS UNDER 70,000 MILES. WELL I AM AROUND 72, AND THEY ARE JUST NOW DOING THIS. WHAT 97' VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE AROUND THAT KIND OF MILEAGE BY NOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND IT SHOULD STILL BE FIXED UNDER CHEVROLET. *JB
