 Description of the problemI was on a major city street behind a slow moving vehicle. I made a manuver to pass the vehicle in front of me and the car accererated on it's own. I could actually feel the gas pedal being pulled down (as my foot was still gently on the pedal). I immediately lifted my foot off the gas pedal. The car continued to accelerate. The car reached 36 mph quickly approaching another vehicle in front of me which now was stopped. I immediatley stepped on the brakes hard. The car stopped and the red warning light for the throttle position sensor lit on the dash. I am a car dealer and an experienced driver with professional driver training. I feel most people would have experienced an accident. I took the vehicle to my service department where we put the manufactuer diagnostic tool on the vehicle. We were able to download the report. I also took photos of the dash and reported to the factory service rep and field technical specialist.
