Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE BY ITSELF. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES UNTIL THEY SMOKED, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS SO SCARED I WAS AFRAID TO TRY AND TURN AROUND TO GET TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC SO I CONTINUED HOME WHICH IS A STRAIGHT LINE AND RIDING THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE WAY APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES, GOT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AT WHICH TIME THE CAR CONTINUED TO SURGE. I SHUT THE KEY OFF AND SAT THERE TRYING TO COMPOSE MYSELF. I HAVE HAD IT AT MY LOCAL MECHANICS AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND HASN'T SINCE 2/11/10. MY CAR IS A 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. *TR
