Description of the problem | Returning home from a short drive of about four miles, i brought the vehicle to a complete stop in front of the garage. All of a sudden without warning the accelerator revved very high. I pushed down hard on the brake but the vehicle still lurched forward hitting the garage door and side wall causing damage to the building and vehicle. I shut off the engine to kill the engine. The oem floor mats were in place and did not affect the pedal. No personal injuries - just a very shaken family. |
