1994 CHEVROLET CAPRICE Vehicle Speed Control Problems

I STARTED MY 1994 CHEVY CAPRICE CLASSIC AND BEFORE I COULD GET IT INTO GEAR, MY CAR TOOK OFF AND SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF A HONDA.

DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER WAS 35 MPH OFF WHICH RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS GOING FASTER THAN THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED. DIGITAL GAS GAUGE ALSO FAILED TO FUNCTION WHICH RESULTED IN VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING ALTHOUGH THE GAUGE READ HALF OF TANK. THE CAUSE OF BOTH FAILURES WAS UNDETERMINED.*AK

Mileage: 200,000

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55 ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ACCELLERATOR PEDAL GOT STUCK . THE CONSUMER APPLIED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE ANDTHE VEHICLE WAS STILL GOING. CONSUMER GOT THE SPEED DOWN TO TWENTY, AND SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF.*AK

WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND THEN SHIFTING INTO PARK, VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 57 MPH THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WHEN DRIVER TURNED OFF THE SWITCH OR HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET. DRIVER TURNED THE IGNITION OFF TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. *AK

THROTTLE STUCK, CAUSING ACCIDENT.

IN THE PROCESS OF STOPPING WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, TOOK HIS FOOT OFF OF THE THROTTLE AND THE THROTTLE GOT STUCK AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND HIT A WALL. *AK

ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPLACED.

CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATOR/DECELERATOR FUNCTIONS DO NOT FUNCTION.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL/ACCIDENT. *SD

ACCELERATOR STICKS OCCASIONALLY, REPAIRED UNDER RECALL, NOW VEHICLE PERFORMS ERRATICALLY.

VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED THE ONLY WAY TO STOP WAS TO PUT IT IN A LOWER GEAR AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. TT

VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO HIGH UNKNOWN SPEEDS CAUSING FRONTEND COLLISION. DRIVERS/PASSENGERS AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING ACCIDENT. TT
