1 Engine problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2008

Stuck gas pedal. The incident occurred over a year ago when I was driving on us101 highway near tillamook, oregon with two of my brothers, one on the front passenger seat, and one on the back. When I slightly press on the gas pedal, the truck took off with rpm at about 6000 and speed of about 70mph, and I could not stop the truck via pressing really hard on the brake. Finally, I was able to stop it by pushing the shift handle to neutral. I turned off the engine and checked the gas pedal to make sure nothing would get jammed, and I did not find anything. When I tried to restart the engine, the rpm shot to 6000 again, and this time I tapped on the gas paddle couple times, and the engine dropped back down to idle. Fortunately, there was no one driving in front of me, and there was no accident involving this incident, but I believed this is a major safety issue that need to get more attention from the truck manufacturer. Btw, I've not let my wife drive this truck since the incident occurred.
