Consumer Description

ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM A STOP, PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY AND GRADUALLY. AFTER APPROX. SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, THE GAS PEDAL WAS 'SUCKED' DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND REMAINED STUCK IN THAT POSITION. THE TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD AND BEHAVED LIKE IT WAS IN 'PASSING' GEAR. I TRIED TO TAP THE PEDAL TO RELEASE IT, BUT HAD NO EFFECT. I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THEN OFF (DID NOT SET A SPEED) AND HAD NO EFFECT. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES FAIRLY HARD WHICH SLOWED THE TRUCK DOWN, BUT THAT DID NOT RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL; AS SOON AS I LEFT OFF THE BRAKES, THE TRUCK AGAIN ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED. ALTERNATING BETWEEN THE BRAKES AND TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL EVENTUALLY UNSTUCK THE GAS PEDAL.. NOTE THAT MY 'SPEED' WAS 0-50MPH WHEN I WAS ABLE TO UNSTUCK THE GAS PEDAL. I STATED THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT (APPROX) 15MPH, THE SPEED WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND.
