Consumer Description

THE THROTTLE, ON MY 1998 BLAZER, STICKS WHEN FIRST DEPRESSED AND THEN ENGAGES, WITH THE THROTTLE PARTIALLY OPEN, SO THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD. A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME CHEVERLOT ISSUED A LETTER TELLING ALL REPAIR SHOPS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS IT HAPPENS ON ALL OF THESE VEHICLES ALL THE TIME WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVERLOT SEVERAL TIMES AND OFFERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF IF THEY WOULD TELL ME WHAT TO DO BUT THEY REFUSE. THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT TO A GM SERVICE CENTER, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD IT WILL COST $65 AND THE REPAIR WILL NOT BE PERMANENT. MY CONCERN IS SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED WHEN ONE OF THESE BLAZERS OR S10 VEHICLES LURCHES FORWARD IN A PARKING LOT. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO. *JB
