AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 AM, WE WERE DRIVING EAST ON I-270 OUTSIDE OF COLUMBUS, OHIO. I NEEDED TO PASS SOMEONE IN A FAIRLY TIGHT SITUATION AND I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR FULLY TO THE FLOOR. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT RETURN OR IN OTHER WORDS, WAS STUCK AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. WHILE THIS OCCURRED, I GLANCED TO THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS OBSTRUCTING IT. THERE WAS NOTHING OBSTRUCTING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I PUT THE CAR QUICKLY IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, WITH A PLAN TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO RESTART. LUCKILY, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE IGNITION OFF, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND CONTINUE ON MY JOURNEY. UPDATED 05/19/2015 *JS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 6/19/14. MADE APPOINTMENT FOR 6/24/14 TO HAVE CHECKED AND ALSO OIL CHANGE. DEALER STATED THERE IS A $40 CHARGE FOR PUTTING ON THE TESTER FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. USED BLUE ONSTAR AND WAS TOLD IT HAD TO DO WITH THE EMISSION AND WOULD AFFECT FUEL GETTING TO ENGINE AND RECOMMENDED REPAIRS WITHIN 7 DAYS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF ON THE WAY TO DEALER. HOWEVER DEALER CHECKED AND SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK AND DID NOT CHARGE. LIGHT CAME ON NEXT DAY. RETURNED TO DEALER FOR LIGHT WHICH HAD COME ON AGAIN AND OFF AGAIN AND ONE OF TWO RECALLS WHICH I HAD NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT. I AM STILL WAITING ON THE PARTS WHICH HAD TO BE ORDERED FOR ONE OF THE RECALLS WHICH IS NOT YET REPAIRED. WAS LAST THERE ON 7/15 AND NOW I AM TOLD THAT IT IS AN EMISSION PROBLEM AND WILL AFFECT MY FUEL MILEAGE AND NEEDS REPAIRED AND REPAIRS COST APPROX $380.00 AND OF COURSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR EMISSION RAN OUT AT 80,000 MILES. . I ALSO AN ISSUE PROBABLY WHEN VEHICLE WAS 2 YEARS OLD WHERE MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. I WAS FORTUNATELY ON A TWO LANE RESIDENTIAL ROAD AN COASTED TO A RELATIVELY SAFE PLACE AND HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED. THANK GOD FOR TRIPLE AAA. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER MY FOX EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ONLY COST WAS TIME AGGRAVATION AND LOSS OF VEHICLE WHILE REPAIRS. I ALSO HAVE A OFF AND ON RUBBING SQUEAKING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN MAKING TURNS. I AM ABOUT READY TO TRADE VEHICLES AND AM NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO AFFORD THE NEEDED REPAIRS. FOR THIS CAR. I AM LOSING ALL FAITH IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD, BECAME INCREASING DIFFICULT TO STEER. TOOK TO CHEVY DEALER WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT CHEVY SAID TO REPLACE POWER STEERING FLUID. AFTER THAT WAS COMPLETED, IT WAS STILL HARD TO STEER, DEALER SAID TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS TO WORK IT IN! BECAME WORSE AND WORSE. POWER STEERING JUST NOT WORKING. DIFFICULT TO PARK VEHICLE AND DANGEROUS AS IF YOU NEED TO QUICKLY TURN COULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. CHEVY DEALER SAID NEEDS NEW POWER STEERING PUMP, OVER $2000 REPAIR. FINALLY GOT VEHICLE REPAIRED IN 2013 ELSEWHERE AT A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR APPROXIMATELY $1300. CHEVY NEEDS TO MAN UP AND RECALL THIS BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES AND ALSO REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO SHELLED OUT BIG BUCKS FOR REPAIRS. *TR
