Going approximately 50 mph on a Suburban highway when the accelerator seemingly stuck, rpms would not lower, resulting in great difficulty slowing down. Stopping the car was not possible. Braking would only slow the car somewhat, not stop the car. Was only able to stop the car after shifting into neutral and applying brakes. Even then rpms remained very high. Informed by the dealership that the problem was "probably" caused by another car service company cleaning the idle speed motor and damaging it. However, they are not 100% sure because once they were able to get the rpms to come down during the diagnostic workup, they could not reproduce the problem.
