Gas pedal sticks when the truck is taking off from a stop or park position, when driving it is fine.
Throttle sticking. I see mai=NY complaints have been filed. Does someone have to die befoir gm has to fix the problem???.
Throttle sticks closed requiring excessive force to push throttle pedal. This causes sudden acceleration when you get past the stuck area.
I took my 2001 chevy Tahoe to the local dealer to fix a sticking gas pedal. Since the vehicle is under the original warranty (3 yr/36,000 mile), I should not incur the cost of repair. And with only 25,000 miles, a sticking gas pedal is not normal. However, Chevrolet/gm does not agree (please see email traffic). I feel that this "carbon buildup" is a known defect and a safety issue - not a normal emissions operation. Could you please look into this matter? nobody deserves to have a sticking gas pedal at any time. Thank you. Sincerely, joseph c. Cua >>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<< dear mr.
