My truck accelerated on it's own while hitting the brake, I thought it might be my new mat so I removed it and it happened again. Not sure if I hit the gas pedal at the same time as the brake? I have never had this happen in all the years I drove fords or gmc. Your form would be easier if you could just type in info and boy I wish these programs would get rid of the state box and let us type it in. Engine · reported at 55,000 miles
