The dealer, during warranty period, told me they found no defect and knew of no defect. I left it go.

I then pulled over immediately to check to make sure my accelerator pedal was not stuck somehow. I started my engine and it idled a little higher than normal at about 2000 r. P. M. 's. I didnt think too much of it and started home. By the time I was at my house I could barely control my truck, and was not able to push in the clutch because the engline flew to over 3700 r. P. M. 's if I did so. When I got home, I called a tow service and had it towed to a mechanic. He said my throttle plate had broke which he had never seen before and said I was very lucky to be alive, much less have an engine. He fixed it for $510.

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.
