While traveling on a highway at 70 MPH, the vehicle suddenly accelarated at speed of 90 MPH. Rpm 6000. I did all possible to slow down the vehicle an bring it to a stop by putting the truck in neutral and shutting off the engine. First incident occurred on 7-4-02, after the vehicle came to a stop I restarted the engine and it was back to normal. The next morning I had the truck inspected by wheeler motors , cheboygan mich. I was told they could not find anything wrong. I also had the truck inspected by james chevrolet clinton twp. Mi. They also said they could not find any problem. On 8-21-02 while traveling at 70mph on I-75 the vehicle again accelareted on its own to a speed close to 90mph. I applied the brakes and it took all the braking power available to slow down the truck and bring it to the side of the highway safely. This time when restarting the engine the RPM immediately (in park) soared to 6000 RPM. The vehicle was towed to martin chevrolet, saginaw, mich. At his point I have no results of what was wrong with the vehicle. I called gm roadside assistance at 1-800 chevrolet-USA. They dispatched a tow truck. I also called the mich. State police to assist and verify that the incident had occurred.
