NHTSA Complaint #10606702 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

SLOWED MY VEHICLE APPROACHING A DRIVE THRU. I SLOWLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. MY LEFT FOOT WAS DANGLING. VEHICLE'S RPMS AND ENGINE WAS ROARING AT MAXIMUM SPEED. I THEN PLACED BOTH FEET ON MY BRAKES TO NO AVAIL! KNEW I WAS GOING TO CRASH WITH NO WAY TO STOP! I BRACED MY SELF FOR THE IMPACT. MY GAS PEDAL STUCK AND MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE I HIT WAS A TRUCK WITH ITS TAIL GATE DOWN. THE IMPACT PUSHED UP HIS TAIL GATE. MY HOOD, FENDERS, RADIATOR AND FAN BELT WERE CRUSHED. MY VEHICLES BUMPER WAS NOT INVOLVED OR DAMAGED. OVER $6,000.00 IN DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE AND THE SENSORS FAILED TO REGISTER THE ACCIDENT, THE GAS PEDAL OR THE BRAKE PROBLEM! AFTER CONTACTING GM CORPORATE, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM! IT WAS 8:45 A.M ON A CLEAR DAY. I AM NOW FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE NEAR SCHOOLS OR CROWDED PLACES. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND MAINTAIN IT EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH OUR LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION OF REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. *TR
