My 2000 Chevrolet 2500 Silverado throttle sticks shut when first started. Mine has a 6.0 liter V-8, but I know several people with different engines and model years with the exact same problem. The pedal sticks so hard that it takes a great deal of effort to make it release resulting in large burst of speed and loss of control. The dealers refuse to correct except under warranty which I no longer have. The factory knows there is a problem and dealers acknowledge as well but will not correct without being paid. This is a very dangerous problem. We have had several near misses.

The throtle body gets dirty and sticks and then you give it more gas than you intend and hit something like a garage or person. Has been fixed twice and GM knows they have a problem but say it is up to me to keep fixing it so I don't have a accident all the Silverado have the same problem every 25,000 miles. It is an engineering accident waiting to happen

When coming to a complete stop, vehicle accelerated suddenly and unexpectedly and without warning. The dealer has not been able to duplicate the problem.

Accelerator would surge while in gear. Would shift from overdrive to low gear on its own. This happens when doing highway driving. The manufacturer has been contacted & knows of problem. Vehicle been in shop for over a month. There is no corrective solution to problem of surging & gear shifting.
