Consumer Description

WHILE THE CONSUMER'S WIFE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND CAUSED HER TO RUN INTO THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. THE COLLISION CAUSED $18,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THEIR HOME. SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 8 TIMES. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE RPMS REVVED UP CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RACE. THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE TAIL LIGHTS. THE DEALER/MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, SO THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT. AFTER ALMOST HAVING AN ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. *AK *SCC *JB
