| The accelerator cable popped off of the accelerator pedal while driving in traffic,the engine immediately went to idle and the vehicle slowed to five miles an hour. people started blowing their horn at me as i attempted to find a spot to pull out of the traffic flow. this did occur at a relatively slow 20-25 miles per hour, if this were to happen on the highway or on an access ramp the resulting slowdown would most likely cause an accident. this is the fourth time this has occurred and i will not pay the dealer or general motors to fix what is obviously a design flaw. *nm | |||

| Twice in three years the accelarator cable broke, leaving us sitting in traffic. the first time was approx 3-4 weeks after we purchased the car from the dealer. the dealer claims that they have not had this problem before and will not cover/honor their own repairs from three years ago. we are having to pay for the cable repair and now feel that for a car with only 30k miles-this problem is dangerous and should be investigated. thank you.*ak | |||

| On three separate occasions the accelerator cable that is connected to the gas pedal has come off the pedal. each time this has happened i was in traffic and it is scary when the vehicle slows to 10 miles per hour as the engine drops to idle. the first time this happened it was daytime and i was able to get to a garage where the mechanic fixed it right away, he said this happens enough that he knew how to fix it easily. the second time it happened was at night and five miles from home, i was able to idle my way home (flatland) and fixed it myself in the morning. this time it was in the morning at the end of my street and i again was able to idle home and fix it. if this should occur on the interstate it could be very dangerous. *jb | |||
