| From early after we purchased the vehicle, we have had trouble. when you take your foot off the accelerator, it will oftentimes not slow down and sometimes even speed up. we have taken it to bale chevrolet on several occasions and told they could find nothing wrong. we wrote to chevrolet who contacted paul wilkerson at bale chevrolet who told them the vehicle is operating as designed even though he was aware of the problem and his mechanics had driven the vehicle around their parking lot at 40 mph without using the accelerator. we recently took it to another dealership and they informed us that gm/chevrolet was aware of the problem, but no fix had been found for it. this problem is, in my opinion, a safety hazard not only to us as the owners, but to others on the road as well. it seems that if gm/chevrolet was aware of the problem, they would have at least notified all the dealerships and owners and given us some options for remedy.*ak | |||
