“Not long after I purchased my 2002 Blazer, I started noticing that at random times the motor would start racing when I started the engine. It ran very loud for a period of time and then would finally slow down. While driving the vehicle this would also happen. The rpms rapidly increase when accelerating, and it would make a loud roaring noise, but the vehicle doesn't go any faster. I took it in to the shop and was told this was normal, that it was the clutch fan. It is extremely hard to believe that this is normal for a new vehicle. …”

“During the test drive and subsequent to that, I experienced what I call the fat foot syndrome. That is to say, my foot engaged both the accelerator and brake pedal at the same time. I was stopped and when I attempted to procede, my foot engaged both pedals at the same time. This could be confusing to drivers behind me and result in a collision. In addition, this condition could result in premature brake lining wear.”

NHTSA complaint #764254, filed 2002-07
