My 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has unwanted acceleration. Its been happening for apprx a month, on and off. On Tuesday 10/4/2011 I was leaving my parking space at work, I had my foot on the brake as I was turning out of the space, the vehicle just took off - accelerating without touching the gas. I then hit the brake which stopped the vehicle. I then got on the highway - (I-94) to head home, while driving on I-94 my vehicle lunged forward nearly striking the vehicle in front of me. I then backed off and kept a safe distance in the event that it happened again, sure enough - my vehicle started accelerating on its own. I realized it was doing it and had enough distance between me and the other vehicles ahead, so I allowed the vehicle to take off. My silverado got up to about 1500 rpms at 60mph, I clearly had my foot off the brake and the gas, feet flat on the floor. I allowed it to accerlerate on its own for apprx 1 minute but then had to stop. It is clearly driving itself. I drove the truck straight to the dealership and left it for the shop to look at the next day. The service dept could not re-create the proble, go figure. In the past month I've nearly hit several parked cars when pulling into parking spaces as the vehicle takes off accelerating, in these events I was also able to stop the vehicle w the brake.

While pulling onto i83 I pushed down on the gas pedal to quickly accelerate to merge. The pedal became stuck on the floor mat sticking it in the down position causing the truck to rapidly accelerate after I left my foot off the gas pedal. I had to use my feet to pull the floor mat back towards the seat to release the gas pedal. This has happened several times over the last few years, most recently November 20, 2012.
