Consumer Description

I WAS GOING 60 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WHEN I TRIED SLOWING DOWN TO 50 MPH THE RPM'S KEPT GOING UP AS WELL AS THE SPEED. COULD NOT SLOW DOWN, PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE COMPLETELY, STILL DID NOT STOP, UNTIL I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS WAS AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 15000 MILE MAINTENANCE. DEALER CLAIMED LATER THAT IT WAS DUE TO A SENSOR THAT WAS BURNED OUT. *JB
