Four problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Every morning when I start the car, it "lunges" forward. This has only happened 3 or 4 times during the day but it does happen every morning. I keep the car in the garage so when it does move forward it is only a couple of inches, but when I am in a parking lot, I make sure to leave plenty of room between cars so I do not hit anyone. I have owned this vehicle since Jan. 07 and this just started in November.
Wife experienced severe acceleration, up to 100 mph, and could not stop it. We took the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban in for service. They said they could not find a problem. Than, I experienced the same situation with a severe acceleration. The dealer service people still say they could not find a problem.
When attempting to accelerate vehicle stalled.
Vehicle speed control malfunctioned. When starting vehicle havd to apply additional pressure on the accelator, it seemed to be stuck. This only happend when putting the vehicle in park or reverse. This started happening on may 12, 2005. Dealer looked at vehicle but was going to charge the consumer for repairs. Nhtsa action investigation ea02015 dealt with same problem.
