Throttle sticks in the closed position. You then need to push it very hard to go. Sometimes it causes you to lurch out in traffic. Have paid dealer to fix once, but did not help. I am aware of 3 1999 Chevy Silverado trucks. All have same complaint.

The accelerator pedal sticks at rest and has to be pushed very hard to break it loose; this causes the vehicle to lunge forward. I have come very close to having an accident several times due to this problem. I talked to several people with this same year and model truck and they have the same problem. I called my dealer to see if a recall had been issued on this and was told no. A technical bulletin has been issued by the manufacturer regarding this problem (the dealer didn't tell me this) and I feel there should be a recall rather than a bulletin.

Gas pedal sticks every time you start the truck, which makes you lunge forward or backwards every time you drive. I have read numerous complaints on this situation & I think it should be recalled. The ABS system went out and when I took it to the shop they said it was very common for the Chevrolet, Silverado to do that, I think it should be checked on too.
