1999 Pontiac Montana Vehicle speed control Problems

“After having my vehicle serviced to change the oil and replace the air filter, I was driving home a couple of days later. I had just exited from I-70 onto highway 59 north, when I accelerated to pass a slow moving pickup truck. When I pushed down on the pedal it did not return to the normal position but remained completely open. I was now driving on a two lane highway with considerable traffic and my accelerator was to the floor going sometimes at speeds of 80 to 90 miles an hour. …”

“While pulling into the driveway traveling at a low rate of speed, and gradually depressing on the brake pedal, vehicle suddely accelerated, causing consumer to run into a brick house. Upon impact, there was no deployment of the air bags. Also skid marks on the pavement showed that the brakes were being applied. Consumer has contacted the dealer.”

“Consumer was traveling 55mph on highway and went to pass another vehicle, and accelerator pedal was stuck down to the floor. He was able to put vehicle in neutral, pull over to side of road, and shutdown. Dealership was aware of problem. Vehicle was towed to dealership. While having oil changed, consumer requested to have the air filter replaced, in order to replace air filter, the throttle cable clamp was loosened to gain access to the air filter housing, it was not lined back up properly causing the sudden acceleration.”

“While driving a snap was felt under the accelerator, and vehicle accelerated suddenly and unexpectedly to 80mph. Dealer is inspecting and will repair the vehicle.”
