Consumer Description

I washed the truck and sprayed the undercarriage. I drove it about 5 miles home without any issues. I stopped at the bottom of my driveway to get the mail.My driveway is about 150’ long and has a moderate up hill grade. At the top of the driveway I had to turn left to pull into the garage.I also had to stop to open the garage door. I don’t have a garage door opener. As I started turning left the truck suddenly lunged forward as if it was floored.I had been approaching the garage very slow knowing that I had to stop to manually open the door. I was unable to stop, drove through the door taking down both garage doors and the pillar between them. I have lived here for 35 years I have pulled in and out of this garage literally thousands of times without incident.The pedals were not obstructed by anything, and I’m positive I applied the brakes and not the accelerator. There is a lot of damage to the house, truck, a new motorcycle and a large commercial type lawnmower. As bad as this is I know it could have been worse.If this had happened in traffic or around pedestrians I hate to imagine what might have happened. I was only able to find 2 other people on the internet who said they had a similar experience with the same model and year truck. If the dealership cannot find or diagnose what happened, I will not feel safe driving this vehicle.
