Recently had the used '13 Volt (65k miles bought used last year at 53k miles) in the dealer because of a warning and they said the accelerator sensor had to be replaced and charged 300 dollars. Is this legit? I read about an accelerator issue GM issued last year and am confused if this is the same thing. Thanks.

TECHNICALLY this was for the stalk (the lever part behind the pedal) breaking. But if you want to try, ask them if labor code 9900373 should have covered it.

There's a recall for this, you should not have been charged at all.

General Motors 13252702, Accelerator Pedal Sensor

Plus this part is only $30 via amazon that takes less than 5min to install so not sure why the exorbitant $300 charge!?

$30 part, $200 in labor and diagnostics plus tax. That's how stealerships roll my friend.
