Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WILL AT ANY BUT IT HAS HAPPEND 7 TIMES PRIOR TO 06/24/01 IT OCCURED FOUR TIMES THAT DAY. WHEN GETTING UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED , SOMETHING TAKES OVER THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE STOPPED IS TURN THE KEY AND PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL. WITH THE KEY OFF YOU LOSE BRAKING. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR REPAIR FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. I HAVE CALLED CHEV CUSTOMER SERVICE NO ONE CAN HELP ME. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE NEW HARRELL CHEV WENT OUT OF BUSINESS I DID HAVE IT ON RECORD I THINK. I CARRIED IT TO THE BUICK/CHEV DEALER NO HELP. THIS PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED THEY TELL ME. IT CANT BE IN THE GARAGE IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TACH WILL GO TO 4 AND 5 AND DO THIS UNTIL WHAT EVER CAUSES THE THE ACCELERATOR RELEASESTHIS IS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I NEED IT REPAIRED ALL THAT THEY HAVE DONE IS SQUIRT OIL ONE THE ACC LINE THIS THE EXTENT OF REPAIR DONE. *AK
