1 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 09/30/2008

I purchased an 08 Buick Lucerne in sept. Of 08. My concern deals with the accelerator. This model I am told has an all electronically controlled accelerator. I find it almost impossible to hold an even speed on the highway as it is constantly either speeding up or slowing down, and I have no perception of ever moving the pedal. At stop signs/lights it will sometimes leap out with a "jack rabbit" start which was totally unplanned for. This I feel is a major safety issue plus I also think it has a lot to do with the poor mileage I am experiencing. I am only getting 15-23 mpg which is far from the 23-29 I got on my 05 lasabre with the same engine. I have had it to two dealerships and they basically tell me this is all electronic and there is nothing they can do. I find this answer unacceptable and hope that you can possibly help. Thank you.
