| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Beginning in december of 2004 the vehicle while driving through a heavy rainfall had the accelerator stick and the car had to be pulled to the side of the road and turned off. at various other times between december of 2004 and 3/28/05 the vehicle displayed a stuck accelerator. on 3/28/05 vehicle was serviced at bommarito south for this same issue, during that service visit, they couldn't replicate the issue but they inaccurately reprogrammed the pcm following the tech service bulletin #04-06-063 (in reference to idle flair). this service did not correct the problem on 4/08/05, vehicle was serviced at bommarito south for the same issue again and the throttle body and accelerator cable were replaced. this apparently also did not solve the problem. on september 9, 2005 with approximately 9524 miles on the vehicle, while slowing down in 5th gear and leveling my speed out at approximately 30 mph, i released the gas pedal and engaged the clutch in order to downshift. when i did this, the rpm level on the vehicle climbed to approximately 4000 rpm and remained at that level. in order to get it to come down from the high rpm i had to pump my gas pedal several times. (i will point out that there had been a heavy dew that morning, i am not sure if that had a bearing on the issue, but considering that this situation has also occurred during heavy rainfall i feel it is worth point out). on 9/12/2005 the vehicle was towed by gm to the bommarito pontiac south dealer again, this time the dealer stated that they couldn't replicate the problem but that the vehicle was suppose to do this.. it sounds to me that they don't know what is going on. *jb |
