1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2017

I've noticed about a year ago I would start this car, and the rpm's would go very high. After a while it stopped doing it. The last two weeks while driving it accelerates on it own. No need to touch the gas pedal. This can be dangerous, and I'm wondering if there is a recall on this issue. It happens while stationary and while driving.

Where to even begin with this 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora v8 so many problems with this car. Right now it smells like it's on fire. I see where gm had a recall last yr but the Aurora is not included, and it should be recalled. It also lunges forward when stopped at a light , it also dies when driving it.

4 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2004

Car kept cutting off and the rpm was at around 4000 without touching the gas. Sometimes when I go to hit the gas it will just sputter and die then it will take about 10 minutes to get it started again. Check engine light was on and they said I needed a mass air flow sensor so got that replaced and it still did it. Then they said the crankshaft position sensor code came up so I replaced and it still does it. I have almost been in a few accidents because the car will die out at the wrong time.
