Interior lights do not light up on opening the door. Additionally, upon starting the engine, the electrical panel blinks, fizzles, demands reset, which doesn't reset, and eventually corrects itself sometimes after 15 minutes of blinking. Additionally, the high beams implement and then you cannot make the high beams turn off. May all be related but, seems like 3 separate issues, all seem to be related to the electrical panel. Blinking begins while stationary upon starting truck and continues while in motion, indicates problem with everything electrical including speedometer and states auto locks fail, along with blinking failure of all systems stating reset but pushing reset does not appear to fix anything.....only time fixes it.
My husband was backing out of our driveway and had sudden acceleration that spun him up onto the lawn and finally the vehicle was stopped after hitting our house and going through the wall. The truck stopped with the back wheels inside the house with the engine continuing to rev.

Gas and brake pedal are too close together. You could still be giving it gas while you are pushing on the brakes. I see hundreds of complaints about this online.I was pulling into a parking spot when I thought I was applying the brakes the other half of my foot was on the gas causing me to jump the curb and crash into a wall.
When stopped at a red light my engine began to rev. At very high RPM's and the tires burned out when I shifted the transmission into neutral. I purchased this truck in dec. 2013 and this was approx. The 7th incident of sudden acceleration. It seems to only happen when stooped or slowing down. Any help in this matter would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.
