problem #3

Silverado 3500 8-cyl

  • 600 miles
When you try to accelerate, the truck does not respond. The truck acceleration feels like their is a flat spot in the acceleration. This is very dangerous. Several of my family members have almost gotten in terrible T-bone accidents due to this malfunction. Brought the truck to the local dealership & the said they replaced the throttle position sensor & it is worse now.
