| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driver stepped on accelerator, accelerator stuck, vehicle struck a parked vehicle, driver passed out. when driver awoke, she found she had struck eight parked vehicles and a pedestrian. no citations were issued, no drugs/alcohol, foul play or negligence was found to be the cause of the accident. a recall has been issued for the suzuki vitara (#03v51200) which is the sister vehicle to the tracker (same assembly line/parts.) i do not understand why the tracker - this failure occurred exactly as the recall information described under "consequence." nhtsa personnel told me they did not know why chevrolet has not recalled the trackers, and suggested i call chevrolet and ask. i urge anyone else with a tracker (1999-2003) who has had a similar problem with the gas pedal sticking to file a complaint...nhtsa said one complaint will not generate an investigation, but that several complaints might. so far, only one tracker owner has filed a complaint (#10056284) this accident could have resulted in far worse than 9 wrecked vehicles (the tracker will likely be totaled), an injured pedestrian and an injured driver!!!!!! *jb |
