VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HAS UNWANTED ACCELERATION. ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPRX A MONTH, ON AND OFF. ON TUESDAY 10/4/2011 I WAS LEAVING MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I WAS TURNING OUT OF THE SPACE, THE VEHICLE JUST TOOK OFF - ACCELERATING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS. I THEN HIT THE BRAKE WHICH STOPPED THE VEHICLE. I THEN GOT ON THE HIGHWAY - (I-94) TO HEAD HOME, WHILE DRIVING ON I-94 MY VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD NEARLY STRIKING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I THEN BACKED OFF AND KEPT A SAFE DISTANCE IN THE EVENT THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SURE ENOUGH - MY VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. I REALIZED IT WAS DOING IT AND HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE OTHER VEHICLES AHEAD, SO I ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO TAKE OFF. MY SILVERADO GOT UP TO ABOUT 1500 RPMS AT 60MPH, I CLEARLY HAD MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE GAS, FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR. I ALLOWED IT TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN FOR APPRX 1 MINUTE BUT THEN HAD TO STOP. IT IS CLEARLY DRIVING ITSELF. I DROVE THE TRUCK STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT FOR THE SHOP TO LOOK AT THE NEXT DAY. THE SERVICE DEPT COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM, GO FIGURE. IN THE PAST MONTH I'VE NEARLY HIT SEVERAL PARKED CARS WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES AS THE VEHICLE TAKES OFF ACCELERATING, IN THESE EVENTS I WAS ALSO ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE W THE BRAKE. *TR
