Description of the problem	Accelerator sticks on starting out, dealer advised that problem was due to carbon build up in throttle body and is normal. This is not a normal problem and i suspect a design problem, as no other manufacture i have heard of has this problem, dealer did advise they were having problems with chevrolet pickups. I contacted general motors for assistance in a refund and to notify them of the defect on 8/2/2001 verbally and put in a written claim on 8/14/2001 in a letter. I was advised via telephone 11/19/2001 that no assistance would be provided and that carbon build-up causing a sticking accel. Was a normal maintaince item. It may be normal on an astro, but it sure is not on any car that i am aware of or have driven in the last 38 years. *ak
