Description of the problem | Today was the worst of the 4 times that this same situation occurred. I was driving in traffic on the highway in downtown atlanta when i accelerated and switched lanes to pass a slow moving vehicle. The truck accelerated fine but would not stop accelerating when i removed my foot from the gas peddle. I had to break hard to avoid hitting another car. As soon as i removed my foot from the break, the car engine revved up and accelerated forward again even though i was not touching the gas. This went on for almost 5 minutes and was very scary. I could have easily had an accident. At first, thought is was the cruise control kicking in but it was off. Each of the 4 situations occurred when trying to pass another vehicle. I reported the problem to my dealership back on august 12th when it happened the 3rd time. They could not find anything wrong. I know there is a very dangerous problem with my truck and need to find a solution before i or someone gets hurt. |
