This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Throttle stuck a 60 mph. With hard braking car was halted after considerable travel down the road. When finally stopped and the shift selector was placed in neutral the engine idled at 3600 RPM. The ignition was turned off then the car was restarted engine preformed normal after that. Car was taken to buds GMC in St. Marys Ohio and the tps was determined at fault. Customer had purchased this car from buds about 1 month reviously. Owner was billed $143.75 for repairs. Can fax repair bill. This car at the time of this occurance contained the driver, whom was pregnant, and a young child. If any other hi way conditions had been prevailent other than clean dry roads a very serious accident could have happened. I beleive that a survey should be conducted to determine how many tps's in this type of car have failed and maybe a recall should be in order.
When driving at different speeds, sometimes when brake pedal is applied, it will go to floorboard with reduced stopping distance. Dealer has been contacted.
