Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers.

Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DT: 2001 CHEVROLET S10. THE CONSUMER STATED THE THROTTLE POSTED OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A FIVE MINUTE PERIOD. THE FIRST TIME HE THOUGHT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STUCK AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE SECOND TIME HE DID THE SAME THING. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A LOOSE RESTRICTIVE PLATE IN THE CARBURETOR, HE TOOK THE PLATE OFF. SINCE THE PLATE WAS REMOVED, AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN. HE HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE HE DID NOT AGREE WITH DEALER'S PRICING. HE CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.*AK
