2016 CX-5 accelerator racing

There are other mechanical factors which could contribute to this condition. Despite means of actuation, be it mechanical or electronic, there's still a valve which controls volume of air, which controls engine speed. Though unlikely, it is possible it may become stuck, say, if the throttle body is caked in deposits from recirculatory emissions systems. Furthermore, a leak down stream of the throttle plate will also allow uncontrolled air flow into the engine, which will increase engine speed uncontrollably. Also unlikely, but still possible.

Just not possible. The brakes can easily overcome a racing engine. How do I put this - you may have accidentally pressed the wrong pedal? It does happen.

Toyota's issue was caused by floor mats interfering with the pedal, although in most cases it was people pressing the wrong pedal, panic and then their leg locks down the accelerator making it worse. The car's event recorder notes these things for this very reason. Nowadays (and even before) the manufacturers have various methods for securing the floor mat on the driver's side - grommets, snaps, velcro, or a combination so they can't interfere. Pedal designs can also help with this.

So where is this concerned member? If I was that concerned enough to join a forum and post a harrowing tale, I'd be here looking at it and responding to questions. It might not prove it's a hoax but it tells me something about the credibility of the writer and how the dealer will nevertheless have to waste his time checking it. Perhaps his bicycle has run away up a mountain and he's now answering questions on that conundrum.

It is actually not possible with this vehicle. Not sure which Mazda models, but dealer confirmed on this vehicle, if you press the brake and accelerator at the same time, the accelerator will not function. It will alert trigger an error code in the computer which the dealer confirms there was noone.

And I had no floor mats in the vehicle which was their first concern.

The brakes would not depress. As I pressed down, it fought me as if power brakes did not work, and heard something akin to anti-lock kicking in but was different, and the more I pressed the less movement, as well as it accelerated.
