VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE BEGAN TO NOTICE WHEN SLOWING DOWN (FOOT OFF THE GAS AND COASTING WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, OR BRAKE APPLIED) AT ANY AREA WHERE MY SPEED DECREASES TO LESS THAN 15 MPH THAT MY AVALANCHE WILL SEEM TO SORT OF LUNGE FORWARD. THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS I BELIEVED IT WAS RELATED TO ME AND IGNORED IT. THE NEXT COUPLE OF TIMES I EXPERIENCED THIS I THOUGHT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GAS OR ENGINE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS (WHO OWN THE SAME YEAR MODEL AVALANCHE AND SUBURBAN - THE SUBURBAN AND AVALANCHE ARE MADE FROM THE SAME FRAME/BODY/PARTS) AND THEY STATE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I MUST BE CAUTIOUS TO RIDE MY BRAKES AND BE READ TO HEAVILY APPLY THEM NOW WHEN TAKING AN OFF/ON RAMP AND VEHICLES ARE IN FRONT OF ME AS MY VEHICLE HAS LUNGED FORWARD BEFORE WITH VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICED HERE THAT (AT THE TIME OF THIS SUBMISSION) THAT TWO OTHER USERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME INCIDENT. I AM HOPING THAT MY REPORT HERE WILL HELP OPEN AN INVESTIGATION WITH CHEVROLET ON THIS ISSUE. *TR
