Sudden unintended acceleration by model year
What owners say
Defective throttle plate got stuck, causing the vehicle to suddenly accelerate.also, braking system would not work. Had to turn off the vehicle in order to stop. Please provide further information.
Unintended acceleration: vehicle suddenly, and without warning, began to accelerate at maximum engine RPM when shifted from drive (not od) to reverse. Continued, even though foot pressure on brake was extreme, when shifted from drive to '1'. Did not stop until transmission was jammed into park. Foot on brake entire time. Thank god vehicle was on snow at the time: rear wheels just spun, rather than propel vehicle back or forward. Scared the @#%& out of me. Please investigate. Thank-you. Edward w. Suor, (716) 624 - 8365.
At 2 1/2 years old, my car developed an engine surge problem at start up. This eventually affects braking since the engine will surge when cold and if I'm trying to stop (I.e., the stop sign at the end of my block where kids are waiting for the school bus) and the extra power of the engine surge causes the car to lunge forward and I must apply extra pressure to the brake pedal to stop the car. I have had the car to the dealership over 10 ten times. They initially told me they couldn't find the problem although they could witness the symptoms. Recently I received a letter describing the exact symptoms and identifying the problem where the linear exhaust gas recirculation valve sticks. The letter said this was not a recall but if I experienced the problem to make an appointment. When I took it in and they checked against the VIN # they said I didn't qualify even though my problems for the past 1 1/2 years match exactly. When I contacted gm directly, they changed the story and said my car was eligible.
