Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD TWO RUN AWAY FULL ACCELERATIONS IN THIS NEW TRUCK. I ACCELERATED FIRMLY AND THE ACCELERATOR REFUSED TO DISENGAGE. AT OVER 90 MPHM I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, THE RPM INCREASED AND I SHUT OFF THE KEY. NEXT TIME IN THE SAME DRIVE IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE KEY. I WILL NOTIFY MY DEALER TOMORROW. I WILL NOT DRIVE IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. AS AN EXPERIENCED COMMERCIAL PILOT I HAVE BEEN TRAINED HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE BUT THE PUBLIC HAS NO CLUE WHAT TO DO.
