I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 AM GENERAL H1 HUMMER AND WHEN TRYING TO STOP, MY H1 ACCELERATED MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP A 5 TON VEHICLE. I ALMOST ENDED UP IN A HEAD ON CRASH BUT PLACED GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND MY ENGINE TACH GAGE MAXED OUT AND AFTER 10 SECONDS LET GO. ACCORDING TO AM GENERAL THEY HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES SUCH AS MINE AND IT IS A FAULTY ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING REPLACED. THE FIRST WAS IN MY 1999 H1. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AN CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. IRONICALLY I BROUGHT IT IN 2 DAYS EARLIER FOR UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION ON THE FREEWAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE AND WINKEL HUMMER IN RENO, REPLACED MY INJECTOR PUMP… - Mar 20, 2005 · 12,000 milesSteering › Column

I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE NSTB AND GOT A NOTE BACK THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER. *TR - Aug 8, 2007Electrical system › Ignition › Anti-theft › Control module

LATE MODEL (YEAR 2000+) FULL SIZE GM VEHICLES HAVE PARKING BRAKES THAT FAIL TO FUNCTION IN AS FEW AS 15,000 MILES. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHETHER THE DRIVER USES THE BRAKE OR NOT. I AM A TEXAS STATE VEHICLE INSPECTOR IN THE FORT WORTH AREA AND HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THESE WITH A COMMON DESIGN DEFECT.*AK
