| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle lurches forward with the slightest pressure applied to the accelerator pedal, or, at other times, will not respond to accelerator position. These two opposite and extreme conditions happen intermittently but with enough frequency that anyone that i have allowed drive the vehicle (except the service tech!) has experienced the problem. This is not just an irritating problem but a serious safety issue. It is almost impossible to safely enter a roadway with any amount of control of the vehicle speed when either of these problems occur. Either the car lurches ahead so violently that control is impossible or in direct contrast, creeps along so slowly that the car becomes a road hazard, three days ago i was almost struck by a snowplow due to the latter problem!. *jb |
