VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
GAS PEDAL STICKS. MAKES TRUCK JERK QUICKLY FORWARD IN DRIVE GEAR, OR JERK QUICKLY BACKWARD WHEN IN REVERSE. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT ABOUT 34000 MILES, HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AT 67000 MILES. LESS THAN 34000 MILES AGAIN. THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL STICKING. IT IS HARD TO PARK THE TRUCK, BACK THE TRUCK UP, OR START MOVEMENT OF THE TRUCK IN TIGHT PLACES. THE TRUCK COULD LURCH OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OR REAR. THE GAS PEDAL HAS TO BE STOMPED TO GET IT UNSTUCK. THIS COULD LEAD TO AN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
OUR TRUCK WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WE HAD BEEN HOME FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK. IT CAUGHT FIRE AND EXPLODED. THE FIRE DEPT SAID THE IT STARTED IN THE DASH UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN, PROBABLY RESULTING FROM FAULTY WIRING. WE HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 4 MONTHS AND IT ONLY HAD 9000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING GO WRONG WITH IT UNTIL NOW AND THIS IS MAJOR. THE TRUCK IS TOTALLY DESTROYED, ANOTHER CAR WAS DAMAGED AND THE SIDING OF OUR HOUSE HAD DAMAGE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS? *AK
