| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After buying my 2003 alero, i noticed a lag in the ignition system. i took it into the dealership under warranty and had them keep it for 3 days. no problem found, they could not duplicate it. so i lived with this problem. but now my car is randomly accelerating while i am driving it down the road or sitting in park. if you put the car in neutral the rpms jump up to almost red lining. in park the rpms go up to 3.5-4.5 rpm, and in drive it idles at around 50 mphs. without even hitting the accelerator my car drives at 50 mph! after months of this occurring i found out that my specific car's vin was recalled for this exact reason. i contact the dealership, they tell me to bring it in. after 1 1/2 hours of waiting they tell me that gm refuses to pay for the recall fix. i have spent countless hours on the phone and no one will help me. i am reading and this is happening to tons of people. how can they legally get away with this??? i need help. i am a single mother who drives her 6 yr old daughter around in this death trap. *jb |
