Two problems related to cruise control have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving on freeway at 60mph and set the cruise control on, but the truck continued to accelerate, even after stepping on brake pedal, I was able to control the speed by holding the brake pedal, downuntil I got to my destination, turned the truck off/on and checked to see the acceleration had stopped, the truck stayed on high idle. It seems the gas pedal is stuck.
Vehicle exiting expressway. Shut off cruise control from 70 mph with brake shut off. . Vehicle did not slow but accellerated. Tried turn signal shutoff. Could not stop vehicle on ramp until engine shut off. Vehicle accellerator stuck wide open. Rear tires spinning when at stop and brake applied. Continued through 4-5 startups and shutdowns and 10-15 minutes. Coincidental: low fuel light on at time. Engine idled at top rpm until rev limiter slowed engine rpm at red line. Dealer listed on complaint states there is no problem found. Invoice ctcs47068 on 12/07/1999. Has not repeated to current date.
