MY FRIENDS AND I LEFT A STORE AND WAS PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY ROUTE. SPEED LIMIT IS POSTED AS 45 MPH. I WAS IDLING AT THE STOP SIGN WAITING FOR A VEHICLE TO PASS. WHEN IT DID I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I GENTLY PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THAT IS WHEN I FELT THE TRUCK JERK AND THEN THE PEDAL WAS FLOORED!!! I WAS NOT DOING THIS!!!! I WAS IN AMONGST THE TRAFFIC, TRYING TO DODGE OTHERS, AND THEN I TRIED TO TURN MY TRUCK OFF. I COULDN'T DO IT. IT WAS NOT ALLOWING ME TO AND THE SPEED HAD INCREASED DRAMATICALLY!!! I REACHED DOWN AND WAS MESSING WITH THE ACCELERATOR HOPING TO PULL IT UP FROM THE FLOOR. THE ACCELERATOR WAS COMPLETELY PRESSED INTO THE FLOOR AS IF SOMEONE GLUED IT THERE. I CROSSED OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TRYING TO DODGE VEHICLES AND TRYING TO PREVENT A CRASH. I FINALLY MANAGED TO FREE THE ACCELERATOR. IT FREAKS ME OUT WHEN I DRIVE NOW,. *TR
