Silverado 3500

  • miles
I own a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado extended cab pick up which was purchased used 3 months ago. Since the time that I purchased this vehicle I have been having trouble with the accelerator sticking. Because of this problem, I have had an automobile accident. I have spoken with a Chevrolet dealership in my area and General Motors has issued a recall due to this problem but they claim that I am not eligible because I purchased the vehicle used and out of warranty. This is a safety issue, as I have stated I have had an accident due to the sticking accelerator.
