Car Accelerates On Its Own Problems of Chevrolet Suburban

I drive a 2018 chevy Suburban. This car had no lights on and has less than 18k miles on it. It is just over two years old and there are no recalls on the vehicle. I was driving with my four year old and we had driven about a mile. We were on the feeder road about to get on the freeway. The car started spontaneously accelerating on its own. Jerking faster and faster without me touching the gas. It was like we were on a runaway train. I panicked and slammed my foot on the breaks. There were no breaks - no tension or pressure in the brake pedal. The pedal just continuously slammed into the bottom of the car. I couldn't stop us. I thought quickly and slammed my foot on the parking brake as our car continued to accelerate quickly with no brake function. We jolted to a stop as cars zoomed around us honking and yelling. When I took the car off of the parking break, the same problem continued. No breaks and sporadic acceleration. Immediately after this incident a light came on that said �service stabilitrak�. The car was towed to the dealership. I'm sharing this for all car owners to remember the power of your parking break in an emergency. It's one thing to be annoyed when your car won't go, but it is pure panic and fear when your car won't stop and keeps going faster - especially with your precious child in the back seat.

I have noticed that when decelerating & applying my brakes when approaching a stop that my vehicle actually will accelerate all of the sudden. This has happened on several occasions, not always, but enough for me to be concerned. My daughter also experienced this sudden acceleration when she was driving my Suburban. She, like me, said it happened when she was approaching a stop sign and was applying brake pressure. This should be investigated.

2008 Chevrolet Suburban. Consumer states unintended sudden acceleration. The consumer stated the vehicle accelerated rapidly from a standing start to enter the traffic lane ahead of oncoming traffic from the left. He depressed the accelerator pedal quickly, then let up, but the engine rpm continued to climb, as if the accelerator were fully depressed. Upon hearing the engine continue to accelerate on its own, and feeling the vehicle surge forward, the consumer applied the brake with full force, using both feet and was successful in bringing the vehicle to stop; distance traveled was about 40 feet from the point where the brakes were applied. Once stopped, the consumer put the transmission in park, where upon the engine accelerated to the rev limit. He immediately turned off the engine using the ignition switch, to avoid engine damage.
