Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I accelerated onto the freeway to catch up with on coming traffic on my 2007 gmc yukon. when i hit top speed in the 3rd lane not even a quarter of a mile at 65-70mph, the accelerator got stuck making my vehicle travel at 80-90mph on its own. i stepped on the brake but my vehicle was still accelerating. i then put the car into neutral and took the next closest exit. i was blocking the exit with on coming traffic behind me and luckily a few good samaritans help me push my vehicle to safety. i used onstar to get my car towed to the dealership, thus being a sunday, all service departments were closed. monday morning 8/20/07 i notified the dealer about the accident and it wasn't until 8/21/07 tuesday i received my vehicle back. i was told that there was a recall on the computer and am very upset that i was not notified by mail or by phone call by gmc. i am very shaken up and traumatized about the whole ordeal and very thankful that the worst didn't happen. *tr
