I was driving on i-10 near palm springs, ca february 27 at about 12:10 am. i passed a semi-truck by moving to the left and accelerating. after passing the truck i moved back to the slow lane and noticed the car was traveling very fast. i begin braking the car to slow down and realized the car was accelerating on its own. the braking was not noticeably slowing the car ( and as your recall cites it should, the braking did not disengage the accelerator.) i then placed the transmission in neutral. of course this solved the immediate problem. nonetheless the engine was still racing and i then had to wedge my shoe under the accelerator pedal and forcefully lift it off the floorboard. this is a life threatening event for some drivers as this vehicle has very fast acceleration leaving little time to react before the car would be travelling at 175 mph etc. of course i see the recall, but i am writing because i do not believe this was caused by a loose floor mat. this seems to be a computer input problem as i never had pressed the accelerator pedal to the floor to be stuck there in the first place. the pedal was all the way to floor when i tried to lift it. secondly, the brake- engine disconnect did not work. i do have video of this event on my dashcam. this is a very dangerous problem due to the nature of it and is vastly compounded by the rapid acceleration of this car.
