So after having the car serviced for the sticking accelerator in September of 2015 the problem seemed to be fixed. 3 weeks ago the problem started happening again. On January 12th 2015 while travelling home the car was acting up again. The car was travelling 60 mph without touching the throttle. I contacted Chevrolet the following morning and was advised to take it in to the dealer. Turns out the problem is not with the recalled part but some other reason for the accelerator sticking. So I was told with parts and labor it would be $510 I do not have the money to fix the repair so I was told their would be a $89 service fee which again I don't really have.
