| Description of the problem | I was pulling out of a driveway and the gas peddle went all the way to the floor. I tried to brake and the vehicle took off to approx. 45 miles per hour while i was stepping on the brake, it continued to accelerate for approx. 15 seconds. The car eventually started to fishtail after i put it in neutral and stopped in the middle of the highway. I looked to see if anything was stuck on the gas peddle and there was not. I turned the car off and had to tap on the gas peddle to get it to come up from the floor. The car was towed to the dealership and they did not find anything wrong with it. I am very frightened of driving it again in case this happens once more. Please let me know if you have heard of anything like this happening to anyone else. |
