While driving 30 mph accelerator pedal went to the floor and commenced the vehicle to accelerate at 45 mph. The driver engaged the emergency parking brake until the engine stop acceleration. The dealer was not notified. When the consumer released the gas pedal the speed did not decrease. The wheels started to smoke as the engine was racing and the brakes were engaged. The consumer then engaged the emergency brake and tried to get the transmission to go into neutral but it wouldn't.

The gas pedal has been sticking since I bought the vehicle. When I went to get an oil change in April of 2001 I had an all point vehicle inspection done. When I went to get my vehicle they told me that I needed to replace upper & lower ball joints on the front right side of my Chevrolet Blazer 4WD. I phone the GM hotline & I was told the my vehicle was not included on a recent recall that I just received by E-mail from autobytel. Could you please help me to find out if my vehicle is part of a recall? thank you for your time and concern. Lisa cook.
