1 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2006 Dodge Ram 2500

Failure Date: 04/05/2019

Two times I have had issues with the accelerator sticking and there was no way to slow my truck down to gain control. Both times it happened when I was passing another vehicle when I was on highway 99 between corvallis, or and monmouth, or. Both times it was on a straight stretch. When I went to pass, I pressed on the accelerator to get some speed. I floored it. Both times the gas pedal stuck down to the floor and I was not able to get it to release. The truck kept accelerating to up over 100 mph before the gas pedal released and I was able to gain control of the truck again. Nothing I did would get it to release. It was extremely scary and I thought I was going to wreck, if not die. I am not sure which part caused this but it is connected to the gas pedal. It might be an internal component, I just don't know, so it is unknown. It seems to do it when the gas pedal is floored as that is what happened both times to me. I wasn't sure if I should list each time separately so you knew it was more than once. I will be taking my truck in to be checked as soon as possible since this has now happened twice and I don't want this to happen again.
