While passing another vehicle on the interstate, truck began accelerating rapidly going from 65 mph to 95 mph in about 3 seconds. Had to apply both feet to brakes to stop truck. It took a half mile to stop and rpms were at 6000, put truck into park -rpms remained, stepped on gas pedal- rpms dropped enough (3500) to get off the road. According to dealership mechanic, the problem was a broken accelerator cable and a factory defect.
