VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS AT REST AND HAS TO BE PUSHED VERY HARD TO BREAK IT LOOSE; THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED MY DEALER TO SEE IF A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED ON THIS AND WAS TOLD NO. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM (THE DEALER DIDN'T TELL ME THIS) AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL RATHER THAN A BULLETIN.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. LAST FAILURE OCCURRED AT 60 MILES AN HOUR DURING HEAVY THUNDERSTORM. I WAS PULLING A 7000 TRAILER ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH SO THAT I COULD SEE WELL ENOUGH TO STAY ON THE ROAD, HOPEING NO ONE WOULD REAR END ME. THIS PROBLEM IS IN GM'S RECALL # 98043 AND YOUR # 98V150, BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN # , EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY AS EXPLAINED IN GM'S RECALL. THISW IS A $270 REPAIR THAT GMSHOULD COVER BECAUSE THE WIPER MOTOR IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
