1996 Chevrolet S-10 vehicle speed control problems

“FOR YEARS MY CHEVY S-10 1996 2WD TRUCK WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF ON THE ROAD OFTEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CHEVY LOOKED AT THE TRUCK MANY TIMES AND ALWAYS SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ONE TIME THEY TALKED ME INTO A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION AT 36100 MILES. THEY DIDN'T HONOR THE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE SHUTOFF PROBLEM AND HAPPENED BEFORE THE 36K WARRANTY LIMIT. THAT COST ME NEARLY 4000 DOLLARS. THEY TRUCK CONTINUED TO SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR YEARS. IT WASN'T TILL A MECHANIC NOT AFFILIATED WITH GM TOLD ME TO STOP USING MORE THAN ONE KEY ON MY KEYCHAIN. THIS GM IGNITION RECALL GOES WAY BEYOND 2005 AND COBALTS. IT GOES BACK TO EARLY 90'S S-10 TRUCKS. NOW WE SHOULD KNOW WHY GM NEVER ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY TRUCK AND DROPPED THE S-10 IN THE MID 2000'S. *TR”

“PROBLEMS WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH THE CHEVROLET S-10. *MR THE CONSUMER STARTED TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL AND SUDDENLY SHOT UP THE HILL AS THE TACHOMETER HAD GONE ERRATIC. THE CONSUMER THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, THEN SLID. THE CONSUMER STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SQUALLED THE TIRES BACKWARDS, THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN. (THIS REPEATED AGAIN ON THE DRIVEWAY, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PREVIOUS OCCURRENCE) THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE DUE TO A BROKEN THROTTLE CABLE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED. *SCC *JB”

“WHILE STOPPING AT LIGHT AND DEPRESSING PEDAL VEHICLE SURGED. ALSO, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED ONOFF. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK”

“WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A LIGHT AT APPROX 30 MPH THE FUEL INJECTION ASSIST RETURN CABLE BROKE AND THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. I WAS ABLE TO MANUVER BETWEEN THE VEHICLES IN TRAFFIC AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKEY, SOME OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE AND HAVE GOTTEN A RESPONSE THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MY COMPLAINT, BUT I NEEDED TO REPORT THIS CONDITION TO THE DOT BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON THE UNCONTROLLED FULL THROTTLE MOVEMENT.*AK”
