| 1997 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | THROTTLE STICKS. DIAGNOSIS=CARBON BUILD UP IN THROTTLE LINE. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPT. THAT IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN LATE MODEL CHEVY ENGINES. WAS TOLD THAT THEY SEE IT ALL THE TIME, ESP. IN BLAZERS. THROTTLE CAN STICK AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. CHEVY CALLING IT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH DEALER TECH SAID IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THE THROTTLE STICKING AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! FIRST INCIDENT IN SEPT. 1998 AT 25,000 MILES, FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEM OCCCURED AGAIN, WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOW CONSIDERED A MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND AM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IF THE THROTTLE WILL STICK AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. |
