1 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem of the 1998 Chevrolet K3500

Failure Date: 03/30/2010

Several times the truck while stopped at an intersection has accelerated on it's own and pulled me into an intersection. Several times while driving down the road at 40 - 45 mph the truck has accelerated on it's own to over 70 mph on back county roads before I shut it off and coast to a stop. Upon trying to restart engine it would rev up to 4000 rpm then fluctuate from 1000 - 3000 rpm. After several restarts it would run normally until the next occurrence. Once while pulling into a bank parking space the truck suddenly accelerated, before I was able to shut it off it jumped the curb and went into the shrubs. This problem has occurred several times in a 2 week period beginning late in March 2010. It seems very similar to problems encountered by Toyota vehicles!.
