Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL FREEWAY AT POSTED SPEED, I WAS APPROACHING A OFF-RAMP AND APPLIED A GENTLY PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO TRANSITION TO THE OFF-RAMP. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATOR INCREASED ITS PRESSURE AND STARTED TO INCREASE THE SPEED OF TRAVEL. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO TAP ON THE BRAKE MORE VIGUROUSLY WITH NO SUCCESS. NEXT ATTEMPT WAS TO TAP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO CLEAR IT FROM BEING STUCK, NEXT I MOVED THE FLOOR MAT THINKING IT MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT UP UNDER THE PEDAL AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO MOVE THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE STILL APPLYING THE BRAKE AND THEN I TAPPED THE THROTTLE PEDAL A FEW MORE TIMES AT WHICH POINT FINALLY CLEARED THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS NORMAL. SERVICE IS BEING SCHEDULED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *NM
