FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VOSS CHEVROLET, DAYTON, OHIO, RETURNED MY ENVOY TO ME ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 WITHOUT REPAIR OF A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THREATENING SERIOUS INJURY TO ME OR OTHERS. IT IS A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRING OVER SEVEN TIMES SPORADICALLY FROM JULY THRU AUGUST 2015 AS I HAVE SLOWED TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION AND ALSO WHEN PULLING HEAD -IN TO PARKING SPACES. IT CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY ABRUPTLY SWITCHING FROM DRIVE GEAR TO PARK OR NEUTRAL. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 5 YEARS OF A 12- YEAR PERIOD WHILE ALSO DRIVING MY NON-GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE. AS WELL, I HAVE DRIVEN A NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE SINCE APRIL 2014. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER THE PAST 51 YEARS. I BOUGHT THE 2006 ENVOY FROM VOSS CHEVROLET AS A CERTIFIED VEHICLE,32,000 MILES, IN APRIL 2010. VOSS ELECTRONIC MONITORING CONFIRMED THE FACT THAT THE HIGH SPEED ACCELERATION ACTUALLY OCCURRED WHILE BRAKING, BUT THEY STATED WHEN THEIR SERVICE PERSON KEPT AND DROVE THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT OCCUR. GM (TAC) ADVISED THEM UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WAS "IMPOSSIBLE AND THE ONLY ANSWER" IS THAT I MUST BE USING TWO- FEET, HOLDING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY. (THE VOSS ELECTRONIC CAMERA MONITOR THEY HAD GIVEN ME HAD SHOWN AN ACCELERATION EQUIVALENT TO ""80 MILES PER HOUR WHILE BRAKING OCCURRED! THAT IS ALSO DOCUMENTED.) (DESPITE NEVER A NEED TO USE TWO FEET, IN THIS SUV THE LEFT FOOT ALWAYS RESTS SOME DISTANCE AWAY ON A FOOT-REST NEAR THE DRIVER'S DOOR). I DO NOT FALSIFY MATTERS. MY BACKGROUND IS ONE OF INTEGRITY AND REACHING FACTUALLY SUPPORTED AND LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS ARISING FROM PROFESSIONAL DEMANDS OF A 41-YEAR CAREER AS AN ATTORNEY RECENTLY RETIRED AS A FEDERAL JUDGE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2006 GMC ENVOY FROM AN AUTHORIZED GMC DEALER IN COLUMBUS, OH, ON 12/31/2014. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THERE WERE CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE STABILITRAK FEATURE. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON, AND THEN THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE FOR NO REASON, WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ALSO HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN TRAVELING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES, SPENT LOTS OF MONEY, AND NO ONE CAN FIND A PROBLEM. DUE TO THE STABILITRAK CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONING, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT!
