    The accelerator stuck on this van as i was passing another vehicle on a rural, two lane road. As soon as i depressed the accelerator to pass, i knew something was wrong. The gas pedal stayed down even after i removed my foot and the van continued to accelerate even faster even though i was now hitting the brakes hard! With curves in the road approaching in about a mile, i had to do something fast! I was standing on…

    Vehicle suddenly accelerates when the gas pedal is lightly tapped. The engine will accelerate over 2000 rpm a stay there until the ignition is turned off. If the brakes are not held down during this time the vehicle would certainly crash into anything in its way. Gas pedal is not sticky or stuck, floor mats are not in vehicle, and throttle is closed yet the vehicle still accelerates? Can not find any other issues…

Dealer felt that it was just bad gas, but i made an appointment to have them check out the…

    I parked my car on an upward inclining driveway and left it in idle. I went inside the house to go and get my dog and speak to my in-laws. I brought the kennel out to the car, lifted the tailgate and put the kennel in. I went back in the house, got the dog food, put the dog food in the tailgate. I went back inside and was speaking to my in-laws when all of a sudden we heard a loud crash. We went outside and my car…

    I attempted to merge onto the expressway and after pushing the gas pedal the van suddenly accelerated beyond my control. I eased off the pedal and the van continued to serge ahead with no way for me to stop or slow it down as the brakes would not work. I saw the rpm reach level 6 and speed increase to 70 in seconds but as it was the expressway, i was able to keep my distance from cars in front of me. I switched the…
