| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway today, i needed to accel quickly to avoid being in the blind spot of another truck as i was merging onto a different highway. After getting past the truck, i let off the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle continued to speed up. When this happened, i assumed that the cruise control was somehow trying to resume so i tapped the brakes to cancel it, but nothing happened. I then put on brakes, but it was simply fighting the engine as the vehicle continued to accelerate. I then tried pressing both the cancel button and the off button on my cruise control, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. By this time i was easily up to about 85 mph and had now other choice than to put the truck in neutral. I left it in neutral for about 3 or 4 seconds and then put it back into drive and the acceleration problem was resolved. This could have been a very bad situation for an inexperienced driver. I plan on stopping at the dealer where i purchased the vehicle last year and report it to them as well. |
