Three problems related to accelerator pedal have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving 45 mph the accelerator pedal fell off. Dealer repairedit. On 7 Aug 2001, pedal fell off again.
Accelerator became disconnected and the vehicle would not do anything. It rolled to a stop.
The gas pedal on this vehicle is extremely low, causing the shorter drivers to have to pull seat all the way forward. This is a safety issue because I am driving 5 inches from the steering wheel. I have noticed that this is a problem with the blazer as my mother owns one and we have rented several others, and all the gas pedals are about 4 inches lower than the brake pedal. This is also annoying and causes additional safety concerns because my foot frequently gets caught on the brake pedal when I shift my foot over (because the brake pedal is much higher), causing my stopping times to be longer than is safe.
