Thanks to everyone, problem solved. Take a look at the boat I have been building for two and a half years. Go to packsail.com Tom Pack

I have been waiting for a reply from the Dealer. A few minutes ago, the Owner, Mike Hewlett of Hewlett Chevrolet, called me. He said that they want to give me a loaner truck just like mine and have the service manager drive mine every day for weeks or months to see if he can duplicate either of my two problems.

I went in to pick up my truck and told the Service Manager that he should take my truck back and give me another one, just like mine, but without the transmission and unintended acceleration problems. He said he would discuss that with the Sales Manager and let me know. I'm still waiting.

I pulled out of a parking lot on to a city street and pressed the gas pedal a little, planning to get up to about 25 mph because there was a red light a block away. The truck responded as if I had floored the pedal. I took my foot off of the pedal and the truck kept accelerating at full throttle. I hit the brakes thinking the cruise control had gone nuts, BUT hitting the brakes would NOT turn it off. It kept accelerating with the tach over 5000. I shifted to Neutral and the engine speed dropped down to idle. The light turned Green and I shifted back to Drive and the engine immediately started accelerating again at full throttle. I put it back in Neutral, moved over to the shoulder and turned the key off. Then I started the engine again and the problem disappeared. I'm 72; if my wife had been driving by herself, she probably would have had a serious wreck. The truck is a 2014 Silverado, bought 4 weeks ago, 6 cylinder work truck. Anybody else had this experience?
