Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I'VE NOTICED ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WOULD START THIS CAR, AND THE RPM'S WOULD GO VERY HIGH. AFTER A WHILE IT STOPPED DOING IT. THE LAST TWO WEEKS WHILE DRIVING IT ACCELERATES ON IT OWN. NO NEED TO TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS, AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.IT HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING.
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A STOP, WITH HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 38 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE IAC MOTOR WAS REPLACED. *AK UPDATED 10/20/06. *JB
OLDSMOBLIE AURORA 2001 HAD IDLE PROBLEMS. *BF UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RETURN TO IDLE AND IN SOME INSTANCES THE VEHICLE'S RPM'S WOULD INCREASE. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED ON AND OFF FOR TWO YEARS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ONCE THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR THE PROBLEM WAS ALLEVIATED. *NM
WHILE DRIVING 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE CONSUMER UNEXPECTEDLY EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION UP TO 90 MILES PER HOUR. THE OWNER HAD TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE HAD BROKEN, WHICH CAUSED THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR. *JB
CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF AND THE RPM WAS AT AROUND 4000 WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS. SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO HIT THE GAS IT WILL JUST SPUTTER AND DIE THEN IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR SO GOT THAT REPLACED AND IT STILL DID IT. THEN THEY SAID THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CODE CAME UP SO I REPLACED AND IT STILL DOES IT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A FEW ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE CAR WILL DIE OUT AT THE WRONG TIME.*AK
WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED AND CUT OFF. DEALER STATED THERE WERE NO DEFECTS. MANUFACTURER STATED THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE VEHICLE FOR ONE DAY.*AK THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHILE ACCELERATING, STOPPING OR STOPPED. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER A TSB, WHICH OUTLINED THE PROBLEM, UNLESS THE DEALER COULD DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. *NM
WHILE STARTING VEHICLE AND PLACING IT IN REVERSE, VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHICH CAUSED A MAJOR CRASH. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
