“On tuesday, august 9, 2011, as I moved over to pass a car on the left on a 2-lane highway, the accelerator in my 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe began accelerating at a very fast rate on its own and stuck . I hit the brakes several times, but it did not unstick and kept accelerating. I am not certain to what exact speed the car reached during this time, but I believe it was in excess of 80 MPH.
