Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE THROTTLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY RACES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR STARTING OUT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL "TAKE OFF" ON YOU. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT ENOUGH MONEY ON THIS TRUCK INCLUDING A $1000.00 CLUTCH REPAIR WHICH SURPRISINGLY SURFACED AFTER THE WARRENTY PERIOD (43K). I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX ANY MORE OF CHEVIES PROBLEMS SO I AM HOPING YOU COULD HELP ME BY DOING WHAT-EVER YOU CAN IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT BELEIVE IT HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING THE SUDDEN ENGINE THROTTLE RACING. I HAVE TO PUSH THE CLUTCH AND THEN RELEASE TO STOP THE RACING. THANK YOU FOR TIME IN THIS MATTER. *AK
