| Description of the problem | I picked up my truck from dealership for recall and warranty issues. Drove an hour and a half, parked my car. Returned home that hour and a half, came to a complete stop at a traffic light,close to home. While i was stopped the truck accelerated, now with both feet on the brake, i still hit the car ahead of me. Fortunately due to my quick reaction, the damage was only to my bumper. None to the other car. I called the dealership and asked them if when they had the dashboard all apart for 2 days, could they have done something? Of course they said no. They told me that my foot was probably on both the accelerator and brake at the same time? I looked at it and they are not that close together. Also i was already at a complete stop when it happened. I am to scared to get close to any car now. I have only drove the car as needed, for fear it might happen again. It's been 2 days now, it has not happened again. Yet. I have been with this truck since it was new, this never happened before. |
