“I was riding down the street and I felt my car going a little faster than it was suppose to because I was not on the gas pedal. My turn was coming up so I put my foot on the brakes it acted like it really didn't want to slow down so I had to punch on my brakes kind of hard to make the turn. And soon as I took my foot off the brake it started speeding up again. So I pulled over and cut the car off for about 10 seconds then started it back up. After I started the car back up it ran fine. …”

Normally, I idle in my car into the drive way, this time it was much faster and the engine was very accelerated. I parked the vehicle and the engine was accelerated up to 1850rpm. I pressed the gas pedal to free up the throttle, it made is worst. The vehicle RPM increased up to 2835 RPM and stayed stuck at 2835 RPM. After 10 to 15 seconds the RPM slowly dropped down to 1500 RPM and stayed at these revolution. I had to turn off the vehicle. It's normal idle RPM are 675-700rpm. …”
NHTSA complaint #10444993, filed 2012-01, 107,834 miles“My 2000 Cadillac Deville will occasionally accelerate of its own accord. It can happen when on cruise control or when not. The only way to get it to stop accelerating is to put it in neutral and tap the accelerator with your foot. It is quite disturbing and takes some seconds to realize what to do. Fortunately has not happened in close quarters yet, but the stories about the old man who mistakenly put his foot on teh accelerator rather than the brake are bogus. His car did it. This happened also in oct. 2006. The dealer crest Cadillac claimed to never heard of such a thing. …”
