I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL AND WARRANTY ISSUES. DROVE AN HOUR AND A HALF, PARKED MY CAR. RETURNED HOME THAT HOUR AND A HALF, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT,CLOSE TO HOME. WHILE I WAS STOPPED THE TRUCK ACCELERATED, NOW WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, I STILL HIT THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. FORTUNATELY DUE TO MY QUICK REACTION, THE DAMAGE WAS ONLY TO MY BUMPER. NONE TO THE OTHER CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM IF WHEN THEY HAD THE DASHBOARD ALL APART FOR 2 DAYS, COULD THEY HAVE DONE SOMETHING? OF COURSE THEY SAID NO. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FOOT WAS PROBABLY ON BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME? I LOOKED AT IT AND THEY ARE NOT THAT CLOSE TOGETHER. ALSO I WAS ALREADY AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN IT HAPPENED. I AM TO SCARED TO GET CLOSE TO ANY CAR NOW. I HAVE ONLY DROVE THE CAR AS NEEDED, FOR FEAR IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. IT'S BEEN 2 DAYS NOW, IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. YET. I HAVE BEEN WITH THIS TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW, THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR
