It just stalled and the radio keeps going on and off once in a while, also the tires keep going flat on me and I put fix a flat in them and they still do the same. Electric problem I think it might be the relay not sure. But it has electric problems.
Cruise control was set to 55 mph when vehicle started accelerating at a rapid speed. The consumer turn the cruise control off and applied the brake but that did not stop the vehicle from accelerating. The consumer had to turn the ignition off and coast to the shoulder.
I was parking my truck in my apt parking structure after work on 9/14/02, upon finding a parking space I made a 3 point turn to get into the parking space. I reversed then stopped and placed the truck in drive as I was about to pull forward into the parking space. At that point I barely touch the gas expecting to coast into the space and then suddely the motor just started revving up. I didn't think twice and just jumped on the brake with both feet but the truck wouldn't stop. We ended up jumping the cement parking stopper on the ground, which lifted the front end into the air about 2-3 feet, and sent us smashing into the block wall directly infront of us. I now have $2,200 worth of front end damage, and am really worried about driving that truck again.
The vehicle has been experiencing a throttle response problem, while driving the engine RPM's do not drop off fast enough on up shifts causing the engine to race. Scc
While traveling on highway throttle becomes stuck without prior warning. Dealership is aware of problem.*akwhile slowing down to exit the freeway, vehicle suddenly accelerated to a speed well over 50 mph. Even with consumers foot off the gas vehicle still accelerated. Consumer had to shut the vehicle off to stop. Took vehicle to mechanic and was informed the throttle plate bolts had come out of the throttle plate causing the throttle to lock in an open position.

The cruise control was not shutting off with application of the brake pedal only the master on/off switch, however the on/off switch failed to shut off the cruise control resulting in sudden acceleration.
Cruise control cannot be shut off via brake, only via master on/off switch. Yesterday, even the master switch would not cut off the cruise control and it stuck in the accelerate position causing a run away vehicle situation. I had to smoke the brakes to stop an kill engine. Vehicle has been towed to local Chevy dealership. This hapened first when the truck was only 2 weeks old and then again yesterday twice. Yesterday was the first time for the master switch to fail also. Very dangerous!!! F.
