The van went from 60 mph to 85mph all by itself as if cruise was on but it wasnt the throttle just broke no warning no nothing the engine idled so high the brakes wouldnt work it took 10 min to get this thing to stop my brake was pushed to the floor and I was still going 45 mph it was lucky I was not in a residential area with traffic signals it was also lucky my 2 small children were not in the vehicle please look into this complain immediately.

Engine lunges/surges/accelerates to high idle randomly while brake pedal is pressed down. Dealership refuses to acknowledge problem since by virtue of its random nature, it has not occured when they drive it. Assistant service manager said on 5/4/01 that he would be defrauding Chevrolet if he put in a part that in fact did not resolve the problem, even though it is still under factory warranty and the problem has been pursued by owner since last fall.

Engine revvs when brake pedal is pressed down and launches forward. Dealer has replaced rotors/ rotated tires, and had consumer to test drive vehicle to make sure it was being driven with two feet. Dealer couldn't get vehicle to duplicate the problem. Dealer has asked to use only 2 brands of gas. Vehicle was last in, in March. The problem still exsists.

While driving down the street and coming to a stop sign vehicle would not stop, and vehicle went through, and still would not stop. Consumer had to turn t vehicle off, finally it stopped.

Due to the defective accelerator that binds vehicle would not slow down when foot is off accelerator pedal or when applying accelerator pedal. Vehicle surges forward which may result in a crash. Dealer replaced the throttle body, but the problem still exists.

While applying the brakes the vehicle started accelerating, causing an accident. Please provide further information.

Intermittently accelerator pedal will lock up/stick when applying pedal to go. Vehicle been in/out of dealer shop on five occasions, and problem still reoccurring.

Very fast idle, intrmittent, will accellerate vehicle beyond 60 mph with no gas pedal. Carried vehicle data recorder for 3 weeks, recorded 4 events. Dealer claims normal fast idle during deceleration as emission feature. My question, accel beyond 60mph with no pedal is not emission control, it is un-safe. It requires brakes to maintain 50mph on flat ground when the intermittent problem kicks in. I have had 3 years of dealer excuses, as they do not want to spend the money to fix even under extended 100. 000 mile waranty. They claim to not know what to do as there is no engine check light or stored codes. This has caused several driving concern incidents and 2 very close calls when it decides to kick in.

Throttle freezes. Must press extremely hard to move. Causes vehicle to jump. Estimated cost to repair $700 + labor cost.

Vehicle was shifted into park to open gate. Upon returning shifted gear into drive and vehicle kept going foward with high speed. Consumer applied brakes, and vehicle continued to travel. As a result, ran into a house. Please provide further information.

While coming to a stop and went to pull into an intersection and vehicle choked out and stalled. Consumer was able to start vehicle, but it stalled out again. Contacted dealer, and dealer has not done anything.
