Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2000 GMC Sierra

The accelerator pedal became stuck. The consumer stated the problem started during the warranty period, however the dealership claimed it was not a warranty issue.

The accelerator pedal sticks intermittently causing the vehicle to surge forward without warning. Dealer has repaired 4x while under warranty, but problem would reoccur approximately 2 weeks after servicing. Ph.

The accelerator pedal on the pickup has and still does stick when trying to accelerate slightly/slowly forward or backward as in parallel parking. The problem is worse in hot weather. The dealer, during warranty period, told me they found no defect and knew of no defect. I left it go. My friend who owns a Saturn sedan told me he has the same problem with the accelerator sticking during small maneuvers. I have just read that there are twelve complaints similar to my issue that have been reported to your agency. I am reporting the same at present though the problem has been ongoing for ten years. It makes close parking difficult and I try to avoid the situation because of such. I have almost crashed many times because of the amount of overpressure to the accelerator to make the truck move.

My accelerator pedal has been sticking for quite some time. It was very subtle at first and I didn't give it much thought. I had intended to mention it to my dealer but didn't because I began having problems with not being able to start my truck. After about five or six trips to the dealer they finally installed a new computer component that had been recalled and fixed the problem. Now my warranty is up and the gas pedal seems to stick more often. I can live with it while traveling because it doesn't stick at a current speed that I am driving at; it sticks when I want to start out or accelerate. My concern is that recently when I started the truck it stuck to the point that when I tried to depress it stuck and then freed to where I darted out of my parking spot. This was scary and I decided I had better report it to the dealer. I had a service completed on may 23, 02 and raised my concerns with shawn d. In the service dept. And another gentleman (name unknown). The unknown party asked me if my truck was still under warranty and I told him no. I also pointed out that this should be a recall item as it could be a major accident waiting to happen. He said they were aware of the problem and that it was a carbon buildup that took about an hour to repair. He said gm hasn't decided to recall it at this point. I don't feel that I should have to pay for a potential safety hazard that was a manufacturer's boo boo. I am surprised that a company that has such wonderful marketing ads stressing professional service and pride would overlook a problem that could prove extremely costly to them in the future. I hope you can be of some assistance to me.

The accelerator had stuck, the transmission slipped, the flaps on the fender and the door trim had fallen off, the back window leaked, the heat shield was believed to have caused a vibration in the dash-per service dealer, the coolant light stayed on, the a/c had to be repaired twice, and the rotors vibrated.

The contact owns a 2000, GMC, Sierra. While beginning to take off the accelerator stuck. If driver presses hard the accelerator pedal it would release. This problem has been going on since 2000. He filed a complaint once before, but after filling the complaint, the problem quit occurring . However, currently it recurred. This happened in the summer months when he began to take off. He took vehicle to the dealer, and they temporarily fixed it. Vehicle would be okay for several months, and then the problem recurred. Took vehicle to the dealer five times.

The accelerator pedal has been sticking intermittently for the past 5 months. It takes extra effort to move the pedal from the neutral (rest) position in order to accelerate. This condition is intermittent. Currently, the sticking is barely noticeable. Other times, it is very apparent. Note: I know of two other GMC Sierra and chevy silverado ownes at my place of employment. Both have had this problem (both are year 1999 vehicles, one 2wd, the other 4wd). My vehicle is a 2wd regualr cab short bed pickup. Mr.

Accelerator pedal sticks in a closed position, and then it will suddenly take off, which can cause a loss of vehicle control. Dealer claims defect is due to a dirty throttle body. Throttle body should be cleaned every 15,000 miles. Consumer is upset because this information is not stated in owner's manual.
