I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 AM GENERAL H1 HUMMER AND WHEN TRYING TO STOP, MY H1 ACCELERATED MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP A 5 TON VEHICLE. I ALMOST ENDED UP IN A HEAD ON CRASH BUT PLACED GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND MY ENGINE TACH GAGE MAXED OUT AND AFTER 10 SECONDS LET GO. ACCORDING TO AM GENERAL THEY HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES SUCH AS MINE AND IT IS A FAULTY ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING REPLACED. THE FIRST WAS IN MY 1999 H1. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AN CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. IRONICALLY I BROUGHT IT IN 2 DAYS EARLIER FOR UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION ON THE FREEWAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE AND WINKEL HUMMER IN RENO, REPLACED MY INJECTOR PUMP ($2,400) AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. I HAVE ORDERED A AC DELCO ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH TPS (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM HOPEFULLY. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. H1'S WEIGH 8800 POUNDS AND IF IT CANNOT STOP DEATH OR BODILY INJURY CAN OCCUR. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED SINCE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MY ATTORNEY JOEL BARBER (775) 323-6464 ADVISED ME TO CONTACT YOUR AGENCY. *TR
