2 Accelerator Pedal problem of the 2002 Oldsmobile Alero

Failure Date: 09/12/2007

The accelerator pedal on my 2002 olds Alero is sticking. The first time this happened I was going down a mountain I live on and had to brake the entire time; I have never had to do that before. The second time it happened I was ended up going 40 on a flat road and my foot never hit the gas pedal. This has happened on several occasions since then and I'm not sure how to fix it. Thank you.

8 Accelerator Pedal problem of the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero

Failure Date: 07/01/2000

I did not have the cruse control set, nor was I using it. As I entered an intersection after I stopped, I touched the gas pedal and it went to the floor unaided and sped me into the intersection. This happened to me on two different ocassions on my way to work. I am so afraid of this car that I am now driving not over 30 mph to and from work and parking the car - not to drive it elsewhere. Oldsmobile refuses to release me from my lease. The shop cannot find the problem. Oldsmobile says they must duplicate the problem. I am afraid it will duplicate while I am driving and cause a serious accident. I can get no help from gm or Oldsmobile. Since it is a leased vehicle, all I want is released from the lease so that I can purchase a safer car. Thanks for your help.

9 Accelerator Pedal problem of the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero

Failure Date: 11/05/1999

Each time the accelerator pedal is pressed too hard vehicle makes a sharp left turn or pulls to the left. Contacted the dealer, was not able to find the cause. This is an unsafe car to drive, even to pass while on highway it will cause the vehicle to pull to left.
