I don’t know what to do when it accelerated all of sudden and it was good the truck got stuck on a big tree & I gained consciousness so I immediately turned the engine off but I can hear the engine running like on a high speed. Can’t control with the brakes & steering wheel not working.‍♂️

    Glad you're okay.

    Did the floor mat get stuck by the gas pedal? That was a issue a few years back.

    Glad to hear that you're okay! That said, literally nothing else works except for full throttle? Was this at highway speeds or just out bumbling in the woods?

    Thankfully there wasn't a row of mailboxes. Those things do some damage (inside joke).
    Sorry that happened to you. I had a full throttle situation on a dirt bike once. I just pulled the clutch lever and let it go.

    That's pretty scary. So many situations where that could be really, really bad. Glad you're alive!

    Happened to me due to a broken motor mount on an old Jeep CJ7. I put it in neutral and shut it off.

    it is very unnerving when it happens!

    I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way as I’m very glad no one was seriously hurt but what made you lose consciousness? Doesn’t look like there would have been an airbag deployment.

    also, this -

    I would third the mat caught in the gas pedal, since most owners took their trucks in for the flashed ECU as a safety measure.
    Glad you're ok
