| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
Vehicle suffered an intermittent, severe, and dangerous total loss of acceleration while driving in rainy conditions. Upon pressing the accelerator pedal from a stop, the vehicle rolled slowly for 5 to 10 seconds and completely ignored all gas pedal input before finally accelerating. The engine remained at a smooth, dead idle and failed to rev up entirely during the failure, creating an immediate traffic hazard. A scan revealed an active abs system failure. This dangerous safety hazard occurred less than 4 weeks after a certified gm dealership (grieco Chevrolet of fort lauderdale) performed the official gm safety recall n222372310 for inadequate fuel pump flow on September 4th. The fuel pump recall requires lowering the fuel tank, which sits directly adjacent to the rear abs wheel speed sensor wiring harnesses. Both gm corporate and the local dealership have refused to safety-inspect the vehicle's rear wiring harness workmanship for post-recall damage or water intrusion without charging a diagnostic fee, despite the severe driving risk. There were no warning messages or other symptoms prior to this occurring.
