2003 Saturn Vue Speed Control & Cruise Problems

MY SATURN ACCELERATES ALL BY ITSELF. I'M NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL & MY CAR JUST STARTS MOVING AT A HIGH SPEED & JUST GETS FASTER. I HAVE TO HOLD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES & DOWNSHIFT TO SLOW IT DOWN SO I DON'T CRASH INTO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. WHAT WOULD CAUSE THAT TO HAPPEN. IT JUST STARTED DOING THIS 2 WEEKS AGO & IS STILL DOING IT ! PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT'S TO LATE. I HAVE TO DRIVE TO DIALYSIS 3-4 DAYS A WEEK, & IT'S THE ONLY CAR I OWN. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL SEEM TO BE TOO CLOSE. WHEN BACKING UP PEDALS ARE TOO CLOSE CAUSING CONFUSION. L

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DURING A LIGHT SNOWSTORM, I PASSED UNDER A BRIDGE WHERE THERE WAS SOME ACCUMULATION OF WATER. I WAS TRAVELING (COASTING) AT APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 55 MILES PER HOUR (SPEED LIMIT 65) AND WHEN I BEGAN CROSSING THE WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE THE CAR'S ENGINE ACCELERATED FROM ABOUT 2500 RPM TO 5500 RPM. THE CAR BEGAN TO SLIDE, AND ONLY RECOVERED AFTER THE ENGINE STOPPED ITS ACCELERATION OF RPM. ONCE I WAS OUT FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE AND THE ROAD WAS NOT AS WET THE RPM RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THE CAR STRAIGTHENED OUT. AT THE POINT OF ACCELERATION, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL ENTIRELY, AND ALTHOUGH THE "TRACTION CONTROL" BUTTON IS TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU START THE CAR, THE WARNING LIGHT THAT NORMALLY COMES ON DURING TRACTION CONTROL DID NOT LIGHT, INDICATING THAT IT WAS NOT THE TRACTION CONTROL THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CONTROLS ARE ON THE STEERING WHEEL I DO NOT DRIVE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON (I RARELY IF EVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AS I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS SAFE). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID THAT NOTHING HAD BEEN RECORDED ON THE COMPUTER AND NOTHING WAS MALFUNCTIONING. HE BELIEVED I USED THE CRUISE CONTROL INADVERTENTLY, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE HAS AN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION PROBLEM. *AK

WAS ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION. WOULDN'T GO OVER AROUND 25-30 MPH. *LA

WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND AT SPEED, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING BUT CONTINUED TO PRODUCE RPM'S. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 4 TOTAL TIMES DEALING WITH ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. CREATES MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! DEALERSHIP HAS "WASHED HANDS" OF PROBLEM WE ARE NOW TAKING UP ISSUE WITH MANUFACTURER. *LA

WHEN USING THE RESUME BUTTON ON CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM THE BUTTON STICKS AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. DEALER REPLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM. *AK
