Since the car was new, sometimes when the cruise button is pushed the car will automatically go full throttle. If I step on the brake it will stop. I had it to the chevy dealer when it was new. It would never do it for them. It only happens about twice a year. They replaced some parts on the cruise control but that did not fix it.

Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
Dt: the contact stated while trying to make a u turn the cruise control activated by itself. She was trying to get out of traffic when cruise control failure caused the vehicle to crash into an apartment building. The tow truck driver said the throttle was fully engaged. The vehicle has not been inspected. *ak updated 11/30/2005 -
Dt: while the contact's mother was driving at 30 MPH the vehicle would not stop. It felt as though the cruise control activated. The vehicle accelerated to 55 MPH. The vehicle ran into a house and went through it. When the vehicle came to a stop the engine was still running. A police report taken at the scene. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The tow truck driver looked under the hood, and found the throttle was stuck all the way forward. The vehicle has not been to any mechanic for repairs.
Engine bearing failure: premature, chevrolet accepts no responsibility, no offer to help repair (probably linked to odi id's 717356,465597,837150,525624,811729, and 487859. ||| ABS brake failure: occurred while attempting to avoid a collision. Truck skidded for over 90 feet before striking curb and utility fixtures. Gm denied any possibility that the brakes failed. Gm offered no assistance to have brakes examined or repaired for defects. ||| cruise control - stopped working. ||| transfer case failure - truck tries to engage 4wd intermittently while driving (grinding noise). First trip to dealer, said that the problem was brakes ($400 later still grinding). 2nd time, problem found to be defective vacuum switch (damage occurred inside transfer case due to failure). 3rd time chevrolet recommends replacing engine for bearing failure before starting on the transfer case. ||| all cases, gm declined financial assistance. In the case of ABS brake failure, gm reps did not want to talk to me or look at the problem. I am tired of dealing with chevrolet's customer no-service group!!!
The vehicle will ramdomly engage the cruise control, whether on or off. The vehicle pulls hard enough that driver has to stand on the brakes in order to shift into neutral I.e. "burning rubber".
The ABS brakes are subject to an intermittent failure problem. The brake pedal goes to the floor & fails to stop the vehicle right away. The stopping distance is extended. *ak dealer has replaced the master cylinder, vacuum control switch, cruise control vacuum hose, front brake pads, and rotors, consumer states there have been no further problems.
