| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dt*: the contact stated after backing out of the driveway, the vehicle was put in drive and the accelerator pedal was depressed multiple times. when the vehicle responded it surged forward. the accelerator pedal continued to stick. at 1034 miles, the dealership determined the pedal was sticking and cleaned the throttle body. the dealership stated the manufacturer was making an upgrade for the component. when the upgrade was available, it was installed. two months later the accelerator pedal started sticking again. the dealership replaced the gasket and cleaned the throttle body at 3395 miles. the vehicle worked properly in warmer conditions. the accelerator pedal began sticking while driving 9 months after the previous repair. the throttle body was cleaned again, the mechanic stated the vehicle was not repaired, but the vehicle was to be taken home. the vehicle began to accelerate on a bridge and the contact had to drive in oncoming traffic to avoid hitting other vehicles. when the vehicle was off the bridge, the contact depressed the brake pedal and turned the ignition off. the mechanic from the dealership retrieved the vehicle from that location and determined it took 2 feet to stop the vehicle. a new throttle body was installed. the manufacturer determined it was an environmental problem and the throttle body would have to be cleaned every 15,000 miles. the throttle body had been replaced twice in 16,000 miles. in an effort to improve the vehicle, a new cable was installed to the throttle body 2 days ago, although there are no current problems. |
