Consumer Description

CAR ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. ABOUT 15 MINUTES INTO TRIP, STARTED TO FEEL THE CAR ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. WHEN I LET GO OF THE ACCELERATOR, RPM DID NOT DROP. DOUBLE CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL, TURN IT ON AND OFF MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. PULL OFF ROAD, PUT IN NEUTRAL TO STOP, RACE TO 4K RPM. RESTART CAR, STILL @4K. STOPPED FOR 5 MINUTES, RESTART, BACK TO NORMAL. AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!
