VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WHEN APPLYING FORCE TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL THERE WOULD BE A HIGH LEVEL OF RESISTANCE BEHIND PEDAL. CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE APPLYING ADDITIONAL FORCE TO PEDAL TO PROMPT ACCELERATION. DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED THROTTLE BODY WOULD STICK IN CLOSED POSITION, CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND PREVENTING SMOOTH ACCELERATION. PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED WITH THIS REPAIR. HOWEVER, PROBLEM HAS APPEARED AGAIN IN BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2001. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EXAMINED VEHICLE FOR THE RECENT PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / ATTACHMENTS.*AK

#754340November 9, 2001
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK, THE THROTTLE WOULD STICK WHEN STARTED. THIS OCCURRED ONLY EVERY 2 MONTHS OR SO UNTIL 40,000 MILES. NOW IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I START THE TRUCK UNLESS I PRESS THE GAS PEDEL DOWN. IT ALSO DOES IT SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW DOWN. AS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE, I HAD TO REPLACE IT LAST YEAR. THE DEALER SAID I MUST HAVE DRIVEN WITH IT ON. I KNEW THAT WAS A CROCK, BUT SPENT 300.00 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. NOW THEY ARE GONE AGAIN. THERE IS DEFINATLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE CHEVY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLE? ROGER SIDDALL
