Description of the problem | Went to accelerate when the gas pedal went to the floor stuck and reached speeds 110 mph, hit the brakes thinking i hit cruise control, released brake only to see that it did not slow down, hit the brakes again and put in neutral twice, did not want to turn off key at that time being on a busy highway i-25. The second time in neutral it shut itself down because rpms were so high, finally the pedal came up on its own. It was flashing at the time throttle sensor and the red lighting bolt. I brought it in and codes came up, i was told the code came up for brakes as they said it was due to me driving with two feet, [xxx]. They released the vehicle to me saying it was safe to drive because they could not get it to happen again. So now i have to drive a brand new vehicle worrying if this is going to happen again and where it might happen, on one of the colorado passes, or in traffic.
