Consumer Description

WHILE ON THE WAY TO WORK AT APPROXIMTELY 8:45 AM, AND SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING HOME, I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION O MUNCASTER MILL ROAD AND BOWIE ROAD. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED AHEAD WITHOUT PUSHING ON THE ACCERALATOR. I MISSED THE CAR AHEAD OF ME BY INCHES. THE BRAKE STOPPED THE CAR. THIS IS THE FOURTH INCIDENT WITH THIS CAR. OTHER INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED.*AK
