Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 65 MPH, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD LIFT SLIGHTLY AWAY FROM MY FOOT (LIKE I JUST TURNED ON CRUISE CONTROL, BUT I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE CRUISE AT ALL) AND WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE PEDAL, IT WOULD STAY STEADY AT 65 MPH. I BRAKED TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, AND THE CAR WOULD SLOW AS LONG AS MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, BUT ONCE I LET OFF THE BRAKE, THE CAR WOULD MAINTAIN THE LOWERED SPEED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I FELT THAT I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATION/DECELERATION OF THE CAR. AT ONE POINT, I SLOWED THE CAR DOWN COMPLETELY TO A STOP AND HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, THE RPM'S WERE STILL AROUND 2000. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THE TACH REVVED UP TO BETWEEN 4500 - 5000 RPM, AS IF THE GAS HAD BEEN PUSHED. I TAPPED MY FOOT ON THE GAS A FEW TIMES LIGHTLY AND THE GAS PEDAL SEEMED TO COME UNSTUCK AND THE CAR WENT BACK TO IDLE RPM'S (<1000). I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL A FEW TIMES, THEN CAUTIOUSLY DROVE HOME. *TR
