Consumer Description

I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND NOT MOVING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WITHOUT WARNING, MY CAR ACCELERATED AND HOPPED FORWARD, ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO PRESS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED UP OR SQUEALED, LASTING FOR ABOUT FORTY SECONDS. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED IT 'UNINTENDED ACCELERATION' AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. *TR
