| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
Accelerator pedal requires excessive effort to move. This has resulted in several near accidents when my vehicle lurched forward upon the pedal un-sticking. Most recent incident involved my wife, un-familier with the problem, having to stomp on the pedal while in heavy traffic on a rainy day. The result of the pedal un-sticking was that the vehicle lurched forward towards another vehicle. My wife barely avoided hitting another vehicle but only by swerving off of the road and into a ditch. Our 6 year old son and 6 month old daughter was in the vehicle at the time.
Due to the lack of acceleration contol vehicle brakes are under a strain when stopped at a traffic light. Vehicles rpms are exceeding out of control and consumer cannot control engines functions. If brakes were to fail could not stop vehicle. Bulletin no:00-06-04-007 from alldata date 02/2000 states problem and awareness from gm. Gm needs to recall vehicle due to safety issue.
