While driving 30 mph accelerator pedal went to the floor and commenced the vehicle to accelerate at 45 mph. The driver engaged the emergency parking brake until the engine stop acceleration. The dealer was not notified. When the consumer released the gas pedal the speed did not decrease. The wheels started to smoke as the engine was racing and the brakes were engaged. The consumer then engaged the emergency brake and tried to get the transmission to go into neutral but it wouldn't.

While driving 55 mph downhill on wet pavement, the accelerator suddenly depressed to the floor. My foot was on the pedal lightly at the time, and the pedal moved from beneath my foot. I attempted to apply the brakes several times, but the accelerator had apparently overriden them. My speed was nearing 90 mph when I resorted to turning off the engine, and coasted to a stop on the highway shoulder. This sequence of events spanned about 20 seconds. As the vehicle neared its stop, I heard the accelerator pop free. With the engine off, both petals then seemed to depress normally, so I drove to the nearest automotive repair shop. All appeared to be normal under the hood at that point. I contacted gm about the problem, and though they expressed sympathy, they told me that because there were no injuries or property damage, there was nothing that I could do. I was extremely fortunate that my young child was not with me, that the roads were not icy (it had recently snowed), that there was no nearby traffic in the vicinity, and that I did not panic. I was, however, scared out of my wits. This situation occurred several months after our local gm dealership performed abs recall maintenance on the vehicle, and I cannot help but wonder if the two events are related. I have noticed that other consumers have experienced similar problems in the recent past. Please let me know if you are seeing a growing pattern, and if gm plans to take any action. This is my winter vehicle; it has only 24,000 miles on it and I now fear getting behind its wheel, especially under adverse winter conditions.
