“The accelerator speeds up and sticks and the brakes won't work.its almost like having cruise control except that I dont have it.this has happened to me 5 times now and I've had the truck in to the chevy dealer twice and they can't find anything wrong.I need to know if there has been a recall on a problem like this and what it might be so I can get it fixed. Thank you for your time.”
NHTSA complaint #743674, filed 2001-04“As I proceeded to pass another vehicle, throttle stuck while vehicle was in passing gear. Due to high engine RPM, vacuum assistance of the brakes was lost as well. This all occured while descending a long hill with a steep curve at the bottom. Although I was standing hard on the brakes, I kept gaining speed. While attempting to brake, I shifted to neutral. Shifting into neutral resulted in excessive RPM, so I had to shift back into drive gear to keep from blowing the engine. …”
NHTSA complaint #712777, filed 1999-10“Fuel pumps replaced over 5 times, injectors replaced 4 times, complained about ABS brakes from first dat of ownership, they dont stop the vehicle in a panic stop, 2 accidents due to brakes!!! Injector lines worn through by rubbing on fuel line under plenum multiple times causes major fuel leakage!! Possible fire hazard dealer contacted, Chevrolet conttacted.”
NHTSA complaint #720975, filed 2000-04“It appears that in most cases that after the vehicle has been running for more than 10 minutes, the wiper system will not work. Some times the wipers will not work after initially starting the vehicle. They also act sporadically. In addition, the cruise control will work 95% of the time. Other times, it does'nt work at all. I have not been able to figure out when it is most likely not to work.”
NHTSA complaint #722635, filed 2000-05“Consumer stated this vehicle is having the same problem as the recall on the windshield wiper (98v-150). This vehicle was not included in recall due to VIN. The windshield wipers will operate when environmental conditions are dry; however, the windshield wipers will not operate during a storm or wet environmental conditiokns. Also, the cruise control locked in the acceleration mode on the multi-function switch resulting in sudden unwanted acceleration and the driver had to slam the vehicle into park and apply the brakes to stop the vehicle.”
