ON JANUARY 13, 2012 AT NOON MY WIFE WENT TO A PARKING LOT WITH MY TWO KIDS. SHE TURN OFF THE IGNITION, REMOVE THE KEY AND BRING IT WITH HER, OPEN DRIVER DOOR TO OPEN REAR DOOR AND REMOVE KIDS FROM THEIR CAR SEATS. ONCE KIDS ARE FREE SHE CLOSE REAR DOOR AND THEY MOVE TO CARGO AREA WITH MY WIFE TO EAT HOT DOGS, SHE HAD OPENED BACK DOOR. BEING THERE MY BOY WALK TO THE DRIVER AREA, MY WIFE CALLS HIM BUT SHE FOUND HIM EXTRANGULATED AT THE DRIVER SEAT WITH THE WINDOW. SHE AND OTHER PERSONS RUN TO REMOVE HIM BUT TOOK A WHILE UNTIL THEY FOUND THE KEY AT THE CARGO AREA. MY SON WASN'T BREATHING AND THERE WAS NO PULSE, ONE GUY GAVE HIM CPR AND OTHER PERSON SAW AN AMBULANCE CLOSE TO THEM AND CALL THEM. AMBULANCE PERSONNEL REVIVE HIM WITH CPR AND PLACE A TUBE TO HIS LUNGS AND TRANSPORT HIM TO CLOSEST HOSPITAL. HE SPENT ONE DAY AT ICU AND THREE DAYS AT REGULAR ROOM. BASICALLY HE DIED FOR AROUND 5 MINUTES. I WILL LIKE CHEVROLET INVESTIGATE THIS, HOW A WINDOW GOES UP AFTER KEY IS REMOVED FROM IGNITION AND DOORS ARE OPENED. IT DIDN'T HAPPENS TO US BUT SOMEBODY CAN BE KILLED OR HURT IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG ON THE ELECTRIC OR WINDOW SYSTEM. *TR

AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. WHILE KEEPING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REV RPMS AT THE EQUIVALENT OF ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I USED MY RIGHT HAND TO PULL THE ACCELERATOR UP AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO A NORMAL IDLE. I NOTICED NO EVIDENCE OF THE FLOOR MAT BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR OR IN A POSITION TO CAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR THE CONTINUED ENGINE RAPID RPMS.

THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS FOR THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ARE REVERSED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN TELLING ME FOR A WEEK THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW (PSI 15 OR LESS). I HAVE PUT AIR IN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED BY THE WARNING LIGHT, AND THE TIRE GAUGE WOULD READ ABOVE 35. I THOUGHT THE SENSOR WAS READING INCORRECTLY UNTIL I NOTICED THE REAR RIGHT TIRE WAS LOW. ONCE I PUT AIR IN THE REAR RIGHT TIRE, THE READING FOR THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WENT FROM 9 PSI TO 36 PSI. *TR
