 Description of the problemI was traveling up interstate 95 just passed exit 26 in connecticut. As i approached exit 27 a a vehicle in the exit only lane merged into the slow lane in front of me. I proceeded to then accelerate around the vehicle that had crossed in front of me and immediately as i accelerated the vehicle began to accelerate uncontrollably to an unsafe speed. I shifted the car into neutral and braked and steered appropriately. As my vehicle began to slow i then proceeded to shift the car back into drive hoping that the issue would be resolved. While my vehicle was a neutral i tapped the gas pedal in hopes of if it was jammed or stock it would come loose and i would be able to control the acceleration of the vehicle. Unfortunately the pedal did not come on stock as i proceeded to drive i realize that my speed was dropping to an unsafe rate while being on an interstate i proceeded to shift my car back into drive only to have the pedal that was still pressed to the floor accelerate the vehicle uncontrollable to again in unsafe speed. After i proceeded to stomp on the throttle in hopes of loosening it from whatever it was that was causing it to be stuck in the open position, the pedal finally returned to its on stock position with a loud bang. I don't proceeded to steer immediately off the highway at the next available exit and turn the vehicle off... Updated 04/20/17 *bf ..
