This problem has been constant since I have first owned my truck. The problem is when I am at a stop (I.e. intersection) the truck will continue to surge forward to the point that I have to shift into nuetral, I have taken it to 3 different Chevrolet service dept. And received 3 different answers with one telling me that Chevy is aware of the problem but does not have a remedy yet. I feel this is a safety issue that needs to be resolved. I am looking for some direction on how to solve this problem.

While driving on a slight incline let foot off accelerator and vehicle continued to accelerate. Dealer worked on it, and replaced cruise control cable and throttle body. Also, driver's side power windows work intermittently up and down. Dealer replaced switch and motor.

When I take off from a stop light or stop sign the accelerator hangs and truck will not go. But when does unhang itself it it takes off in a lunging motion which could be a hazard. It has done this several times and I have taken it to the dealership and was told it was carbon buildup, and that they could not do anything about it.

When driving at any speed the vehicle is accelerating at 2500 rpms when driving or sitting a stop/ at stop light or just sitting. Dealer can't determine the cause of the problem.

Throttle sticks at idle position at random times. This has been a problem since the vehicle was new. The dealer attempted to repair but said they found nothing wrong. Vehicle is currently at dealership attempting a second repair. Sticking suspected to be at the throttle body assembly, not the pedal. According to shop manual, vehicles with high mileage can exhibit this problem when egr gases cause deposits on the throttle body. Also have noticed multiple tsb's regarding the egr valve. Suspect that there might be a correlation.
