Gas pedal sticks at various speeds.at approximately 29,000 miles the gas pedal would stick when moving from a stopped position and when removing your foot from the gas pedal to slow down, when you press down to reaccelerate the gas pedal would stick. The vehicle was returned to capitol Chevrolet on November 18,1999 with 29,000 miles. The correction at that time was to repair the air valve throttle and reset to specs.again at approximately 50,000 miles the gas pedal started sticking again - it was returned to capitol Chevrolet - this time the correction was to remove the throttle body and clean carbon. The dealer alleged the air throttle valve is gumming up and should be cleaned out periodically to prevent the gas pedal from sticking.I reported the incident to General Motors customer service (claim #C010486637) they concurred with the diagnosis of capitol Chevrolet. However, neither general morors customer service or capitol Chevrolet could specify at what intervals this service should be performed.my owners manual has no reference to any maintenance such as remove throttle body and clean carbon at any specific interval.I consider this a major safety problem and sincerely believe that it is possible the valve is defective.I was further told by the dealers service manager that the valve would stick again causing the gas pedal to stick but once again was not told at what intervals the valve should be cleaned to prevent the problem. Simply stated I was told to wait and see when the gas pedal stuck again.I was further informed that at this one dealership alone they are cleaning 4-10 vehicles a day with similar problems.

Due to a design flaw brake and accelerator pedals arevery close and at the same level, making it very easy to mistakenly depress both pedals at the same time. This happene dtwice, once resulting in an accident while backing up.
