ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS THE ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK AND ACCELERATED. ONLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE GRADUALLY BROUGHT VEHICLE TO A STOP WITH ENGINE STILL REVVING. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT STOPPED AND DROVE NORMAL. AFTER PARKING AND STARTING UP THE ENGINE AGAIN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AGAIN FOR A PERIOD OF 30 MINUTES. AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT FOR 2 DAYS IT RAN FINE TOT HE MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I DRIVE ON MOUNTAIN TRAILS AND ROADS WITH STEEP CLIFFS SO NO FUN FIGHTING THIS BIG TRUCK UP AND DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, NOT TO MENTION MY BRAKES WERE BURNING UP

I HAVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT GM SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM! I'VE WRITTEN TO GM AND RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE FROM "CUSTOMER SERVICE" WHO TOLD ME THAT CADILLAC SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY AIR BAGS. IN THE MEANTIME MY CAR HAS A RECALL WHICH HAS REFLECTED IN SUCH A LOW TRADE IN VALUE THAT I CAN'T EVEN SELL MY CAR. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON THAT SAYS TO "SERVICE AIR BAGS" AND CADILLAC WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $1300 TO "SERVICE" THE AIR BAGS THEY WON'T REPLACE. SINCE WE LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHERE IT'S HOT AND HUMID, THE CONDITIONS MAKE IT EVEN MORE LIKELY THAT THE PROPELLANT CAN DEGRADE AND IF DEPLOYED CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. AND SINCE BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE ELDERLY AND DISABLED, THIS CAUSES EVEN MORE CONCERNS.
