| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After having my vehicle serviced to change the oil and replace the air filter, i was driving home a couple of days later. i had just exited from i-70 onto highway 59 north, when i accelerated to pass a slow moving pickup truck. when i pushed down on the pedal it did not return to the normal position but remained completely open. i was now driving on a two lane highway with considerable traffic and my accelerator was to the floor going sometimes at speeds of 80 to 90 miles an hour. after having my daughter check to see if the pedal was stuck, i managed to get the vehicle stopped by alternating between drive and neutral and then pulling to the side of the road once i had reached a place with enough room. the van was towed to the dealership in brazil, indiana and it was determined that when the air filter was replaced a clamp had not been positioned correctly and had caused the linkage to be stuck in the open position. even after advising another oil service center this clamp was again positioned incorrectly the next time the air filter was changed. luckily, we had checked this before another incident could happen. *ak |
