Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on a four lane divided roadway at 40 MPH, I noticed that the truck did not accelerate when I depressed the accelerator pedal and appeared to be losing speed. I was less than 1 mile from my home and decided to turn around and return. I had 6 children ages 4-20 in the car traveling to a thanksgiving day football game. When I came to the next light about 200 yards from when I noticed the problem and began to turn, the car stalled and I lost power steering and power brakes. …”
NHTSA complaint #10515749, filed 2013-06, 170,000 miles“2001 Chevrolet Tahoe, only 51,000 miles and accelerator sticks which is very dangerous. Had it repaired today at dehaven Chevrolet. They had a service bulletin on it and repaired it at a cost of $193.59, but truthfully $139.95 directly related. I feel this problem should not happen so soon in a vehicles life, and is so safety related, that Chevrolet should repair under a recall, or at their expense. I've never had a stuck accelerator problem and I am glad the kids, and my wife mentioned it. It did stick on once or twice. I had fixed within 2 days.”
NHTSA complaint #10010741, filed 2003-03, 51,682 miles“Gas pedal sticks closed, and requires a large amount of pressure to depress brake pedal. Happens every time the vehicle is stopped. When you start up in morning, leaving parking spaces, at stop lights, etc.”
NHTSA complaint #10110344, filed 2005-02, 50,000 miles“I previously filed a complaint for the rear seat belt malfunctioning but this vehicle has several dangerous issues..the throttle sticks and happened with my 2 children in the vehicle driving 55 MPH..not fun! The outcome could have been detrimental. The parking brake does not work and has been fixed 2 times..it still does not work and will not pass inspection...the antilock brakes engage for short stops and the vehicle slides!! This is just unbelievable to me. Gm must have many lawsuits in the works and many to come.”
