NHTSA Defect Investigation #DP03007

UNINTENDED VEHICLE ACCELERATION: Fuel System, Other:Delivery

1996 CHEVROLET CAVALIER -- On September 23, 2003, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter dated September 8, 2003 from mr. Donald friedman, petitioning the Agency to "open a defect investigation into unintended acceleration involving [model year] 1996 and 1997 General Motors J-cars."in support of his petition, mr. Friedman cited a report he "received for GM" showing it had received far more reports of alleged unintended acceleration for these models than for others.after assessing the data claimed by the petitioner to justify his request, ODI found no indication that defect trend related to the petitioner's allegations exists at this time.therefore, there is no reasonable posibility that an order concerning the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect would be issued as a result of granting mr. Friedman's petition.consequently, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the Agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.for additional information concerning this analysis, please refer to the attached federal register notice. Investigation was initiated on October 14 2003. Closed on January 30 2004. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning investigation #DP03007 »
