Consumer Description

MY 2001 SILVERADO TRUCK HAS HAD A STICKY GAS PEDAL SINCE NEW. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MOTION ONCE THE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED IN 'DRIVE' DUE TO A GAS PEDAL THAT IS STUCK. I HAVE TO PLACE AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO GET THE THROTTLE TO UNSTICK AND FEED GAS TO THE ENGINE. THIS RESULTS IN AN ABRUPT, JOLTING START.
