Description of the problem	On tuesday, august 9, 2011, as i moved over to pass a car on the left on a 2-lane highway, the accelerator in my 2010 chevrolet tahoe began accelerating at a very fast rate on its own and "stuck" . I hit the brakes several times, but it did not "unstick" and kept accelerating. I am not certain to what exact speed the car reached during this time, but i believe it was in excess of 80 mph. Shifting the car to neutral backed it off. After putting it back in drive and punching the accelerator 3-4 times with my foot, the car "unstuck" and speed reduced; not certain if my action "unstuck" it but at this point the speed reduced. Needless to say, i was extremely scared and it was an extremely unsafe situation. Van horn chevrolet in plymouth, wisconsin, confirmed a day later that diagnostics showed a fault code and the sensor was faulty, and the sensor was subsequently replaced. The repair invoice states "replaced accelerator pedal position sensor."
