Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Our 1994 gmc safari accelerated suddenly twice within 2 hours. first incident on i40 near brinkley, ar while my wife was passing another vehicle. she switched the a/c from max to normal and the accelerator suddenly went to the floor. she stopped the problem by using both feet on the brakes and pumping 3 or 4 times to prevent the accelerating van from hitting the car in front of her. the cruise control switch was off. the second time occurred while driving about 35 to 40 mph. she touched nothing on the dash or the turn signal stalk. the accelerator went to the floor again and it took several pumps of the brakes to stop the car. it appears to be connected to the cruise control since pumping the brakes stops the acceleration.*ak
