| Was driving normally down road on way to work. approached intersection and depressed clutch to down shift and apply brake to stop vehicle. however with clutch depressed, the vehicle began to rev up on its own without the accelerator pedal depressed, until it reached the red line. after pumping accelerator about five or six times vehicle stopped revving up. however several miles down the road the vehicle began to rev up again when clutch was depressed to shift gears. this is an ongoing issue, vehicle has been seen by gm dealerships and gm rep but they claim issue cannot be replicated. multiple parts have been replaced but issue continues. will a major accident or death be required for this issue to be addressed? i realize that this is probably not sticking out as a major issue because of low numbers of reports of this same problem, but i would imagine that since this is probably isolated to models with manual transmission which is a very small minority of vehicles. if thought about in the fact that their are few vehicles configured with a manual transmission, the fact of the number of reports of this issue makes it more significant since it would equal a higher percentage of vehicles when compared to the total number of vehicles configured with a manual transmission. *tr | |||

| I have a 2004 grand am. i bought it from a dealership used with approx. 36,000 miles on it. i have had it for only 4 months and have already replaced the ignition sensor, and have been told to replace the o2 sensor as well. now the car randomly loses all power when driving at low speeds. this annoyance is accompanied with the car also not even turning over on some occasions. the car cannot be counted on. i'm taking it in for testing. *jb | |||
