| Description of the problem | I had turned onto a highway and was accelerating and when i got up to speed, 65 mph, i let off the gas but the van kept accelerating. I hit the brakes and it kept trying to accelerate while i was hitting the brakes. I checked to make sure there was nothing on the gas pedal and there was nothing. I was trying not to hit other cars and slow down so i could pull over. I didn't think to put it in neutral but stomped on the emergency brake with the regular brakes and it finally slowed down enough i could pull over but it still kept trying to accelerate. When i got to the side of the road it was still kind of lurching forward trying to accelerate while i was still standing on the brakes. I turned the key off and it finally stopped. Through this whole ordeal it felt like someone was pressing on the gas at the same time that i was hitting the brakes and it didn't stop until i turned the van off. |
