When i started the car, put it in drive, the truck went to full throttle on its own without touching the accelerator, and it took off at an excessive speed. i tried braking, but it just threw me into a power slide. so, once i was finally able to straighten the car without flipping it, i could turn loose with one hand and kill the engine. that's the only way it would stop. i was forced to go through the yard with things flying out of the bed of the truck ruining a 5 gallon can of paint we had mixed to paint the inside of the house. i am a professional truck driver, and this scared the death out of me.
