ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, ENOUGH SO, THAT I BECAME APPREHENSIVE TO ACCELERATE IN A PARKING SITUATION, SO THAT I WOULD LET THE VEHICLE PICK UP SPEED ON ITS OWN UNTIL I WAS OUT IN AN OPEN AREA. THE DEALER HAS "CLEANED " THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ON EACH OCCURRENCE. AFTER THE LAST SERVICE HE CHARGED $65.00 FOR THIS SERVICE. UPON CHECKING YOUR WEBSITE I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIALY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND THAT A "FIX" SHOULD MADE AVAILABLE AT NO CHARGE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IN REGARD TO THE SECOND PROBLEM, I WAS VERY SURPRISED, AND DISAPPOINTED WHEN $1500 IN REPAIRS WAS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THE RING AND PINION ASSEMBLY IN THE REAR END. THE SERVICING DEALER IN ALL OF THESE INCIDENTS WAS NOT THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM, BUT IT WAS TOM GIBBS CHEVROLET,BUNNELL, FL . (386) 437-3314. *AK
