While driving 35-40 mph vehicle suddenly accelerated to 50-55 mph. Consumer stood on brakes, with both feet. Vehicle failed to slow down. Consumer then shifted to neutral and turned off engine.this happened again the same day, about 50 mph. When driving below 30 mph vehicle did not accelerate. Please add further details.

problem #1

Requires a shift into 'neutral' to disengage maximum throttle during a passing manuver. Seems to be torque related. Occurs independent of 'cruise control' being on or off. Applying brakes or turning curise to off does not release throttle. Vehical has been back to dealer who sold vehicle and accessory at least twice. Cruise control has been replaced but problem recurs.
