Consumer Description

DT: WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES AND THE GAS FELT LIKE THEY WERE ACCELERATING, IT ACCELERATED SO BAD THE CONSUMER RAN A STOP SIGN. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE. HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK, AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP OVER 100 MPH, AND THE CAR WAS FULL OF GAS FUMES. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK, AND CONSUMER DIDN'T TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. IT KEPT ACCELERATING. CONSUMER HAD NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. IT SLOWED DOWN, BUT IT WOULDN'T STOP. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION TO GET THE CAR TO COME TO A STOP.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, SHE EXPERIENCED UNWANTED ACCELERATION. THE CONSUMER CONTINUOUSLY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, BUT COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN FOR A MOMENT AND THEN CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEED. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL WERE BEING APPLIED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE CONSUMER FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER THE NEXT DAY THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB
