Traveling I-71N, 6:30 a.M. touched gas pedal to pass another vehicle. Accelerator dropped to the floor and stuck. Vehicle continued to gain speed and would not slow down. Braked as hard as possible and managed to get vehicle to 50 mph. Threw vehicle into neutral to get it to slow down and stop gaining speed, motor continued to race exessively. Vehicle towed to Santa Fe automotive, parma, Ohio. GM directed that they wanted to inspect the vehicle and we had the car towed to GM dealer don brooklyn Chevrolet, 4941 pearl rd., cleveland, oh (216) 741-1500. Mechanic stated "appears that a part internal to the engine fell off." "can't tell what fell off or why the speed of the vehicle went out of control without taking the engine apart." GM refuses to investigate and will not pay for the cost of the tow, the inspection ($140) or to replace the engine because the vehicle is out of warranty. GM dismissed the complaint with no investigation. Had vehicle towed to ron's auto repair, 4512 broadview road, cleveland, oh (216) 741-9787 where used engine will be put in on 11/28. GM will put in a rebuilt engine in (36 month warranty) for $5,800. Very concerned that the vehicle will not be safe to drive and that problem may reoccur.
