Accelerator gets stuck open. I took my foot off the gas and the vehicle accelerated. It would rev at high speeds when i stepped on the brake. I tried downshifting with no effect. When i finally stopped at a stoplight with both feet on the brakes the engine revved up to very high rpms, even when i put the vehicle in park. Then it finally stalled out.
