Upon pulling into my driveway off the main street, with my foot on the brake, the engine suddenly revved up and upon applying brake pressure the brake pedal went to the floor. The short distance in the driveway gave me two choices, go through the fence and hit the shed or use the cedar tree. I chose the tree. My first reported incident prior to knowing about this website was relayed to the dealership where I bought the truck. That was 10 months ago at which time they replaced the instrument cluster as there was a short in it. All was fine until today. I am only glad it happened in my driveway and not at an intersections with other vehicles around.
