Car has been having acceleration issues her and there has had a fuel leak for awhile now and now all of a sudden the car will not start..

- Hot Springs, VA, USA

While driving on a city road at approximately 40 mph, the car randomly began accelerating on its own. I immediately pushed on the brake pedal only to discover the car continued to accelerate. I stomped on the brake as hard as possible to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I moved the gear shift to neutral to try to keep the car from accelerating but that did nothing. I was barely able to turn off onto a side street where I was able to shut of the engine and make the car stop before hitting other vehicles. The car's engine revved up so high that it sounded as if it were going to blow up the engine. Now there is oil leaking severely under the car after this incident.

I live in a hot "ambient" environment, the South. I am the third owner of my 2003 Alero Oldsmobile. My car's accelerator sticks and will not return to idle. It continues to do this and it seems like it is getting worse. It is also affecting the rest of the car and its parts. My brakes are probably going out because of the accelerator pedal being stuck and me having to hold the brakes down while its revving past 3000 rpms in park. I have contacted GM and they claim that my VIN isn't effected. I have read about and talked to many other owners of the 2003 Alero Oldsmobile and they also were turned away and said that their vins were not effected. I think that GM might not be taking this recall seriously but I am positive that this recall is valid for my car and it is scary when I have my two boys that are under five in my backseat when the accelerator sticks and continues to do and even when I turn off my vehicle and turn it back on it continues to do so. I am filing this complaint in hopes that ya'll would be able to help me. Thank you so much.

I noticed an issue but thought it was all in my head because I had been pulled over for speeding on the way home from work because the car accelerated by without my foot on the pedal...although I was pulled over already to investigate why the car accelerated yet I still received a ticket.wasn't too sure what happened on 11/4 at about 3:10pm I was involved in a motor vehicle accident turning the corner, the pedal stuck or wouldn't stop not too sure but I lost all control of vehicle trying to avoid a car on the right I swerved and hit the car on the left thus destroying my car and the other car in the process.

After buying my 2003 Alero, I noticed a lag in the ignition system. I took it into the dealership under warranty and had them keep it for 3 days. No problem found, they could not duplicate it. So I lived with this problem. But now my car is randomly accelerating while I am driving it down the road or sitting in park. If you put the car in neutral the rpms jump up to almost red lining. In park the rpms go up to 3.5-4.5 RPM, and in drive it idles at around 50 mphs. Without even hitting the accelerator my car drives at 50 mph! after months of this occurring I found out that my specific car's VIN was recalled for this exact reason. I contact the dealership, they tell me to bring it in. After 1 1/2 hours of waiting they tell me that GM refuses to pay for the recall fix. I have spent countless hours on the phone and no one will help me. I am reading and this is happening to tons of people. How can they legally get away with this"?" I need help. I am a single mother who drives her 6 yr old daughter around in this death trap.
