Consumer Description

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION: WE HAD A 1995 GMC JIMMY THAT TWICE HAD A "STUCK" ACCELERATOR, SPEEDING UP WAY BEYOND THE SPEED LIMIT; ONCE IN GILLETTE, WY RETURNING FROM A TRIP EAST, AND LATER THAT SUMMER AT HOME NEAR LA GRANDE, OREGON. I HAD TO LITERALLY "STAND" ON THE BRAKE TO BRING IT TO A STOP BOTH TIMES, THEN AT MY HUSBAND'S DIRECTION, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WE WERE FORTUNATE BOTH TIMES THAT IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO STRAIGHT ROADS AND LITTLE TRAFFIC, JUST SCARING US BOTH TO DEATH. WE REPORTED IT TO POLICE THE 2ND TIME. GMC DEALERS IN EITHER LOCATION SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, WHICH WE TRADED IN 2004. *YT
