Description of the problem | Passing a vehicle on county black top road,accelerated to initiate passing gear. Accelerator stuck eng rpm at full speed. Attempted to alleviate to no avail. Attempted to shift to neutral but went into reverse also applied brakes. As a result there were 420 ft. Of skid marks then right front wheel hit shoulder of road and vehicle went end over end landing in ditch on its top. The air bags did not deploy and there i was no recorded incidence on the data recorder. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance co. My concern is that this vehicle could be rebuilt and put back on the road as drivable vehicle since it had only 13,000 miles on it. If no cause for the malfunction can be determined there is a distinct possibility this could happen again with possible loss of life.
