Speed Control Cable Problems of Chevrolet Tracker

Driver stepped on accelerator, accelerator stuck, vehicle struck a parked vehicle, driver passed out. When driver awoke, she found she had struck eight parked vehicles and a pedestrian. No citations were issued, no drugs/alcohol, foul play or negligence was found to be the cause of the accident. A recall has been issued for the Suzuki vitara (#03v51200) which is the sister vehicle to the Tracker (same assembly line/parts. ) I do not understand why the Tracker - this failure occurred exactly as the recall information described under "consequence. " NHTSA personnel told me they did not know why Chevrolet has not recalled the Trackers, and suggested I call Chevrolet and ask. I urge anyone else with a Tracker (1999-2003) who has had a similar problem with the gas pedal sticking to file a complaint. . . Nhtsa said one complaint will not generate an investigation, but that several complaints might. So far, only one Tracker owner has filed a complaint (#10056284) this accident could have resulted in far worse than 9 wrecked vehicles (the Tracker will likely be totaled), an injured pedestrian and an injured driver!!!!!!.

I am quite concerned that a recall was issued (# 03v512000) for a faulty accelerator cable on the Suzuki models of vitara, grand vitara and the xl-7 and not the Chevrolet Tracker. It is built and assembled with the identical parts at the same factory on the same assembly line. At this time I am driving around with a potentially dangerous defect in my 2003 Chevrolet Tracker and NHTSA did not have the fore sight to afford me through recall, the same replacement for this identical part along with thousands of other 1999-2003 Chevrolet Tracker owners.

While driving 30 mph the accelerator cable became stuck and the vehicle accelerated at a high speed. This caused lost of control of vehicle and resulted in the vehicle flipping over three times. Consumer sustained back injuries as a result. Consumer feels this was caused due to the defect stated in a recall: accelerator cable casting cap 03v512000. The consumer's vehicle was outside the remedy scope.
