Consumer Description

IN NOVEMBER OF 2009 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 93 FROM ANDOVER IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC WHEN I SUDDENLY FOUND THAT MY CAR, A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA, WAS ACCELERATING DESPITE MY USING ALL MY ENERGY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. FOR SOME SCARY MOMENTS I WAS CERTAIN THAT I WAS GOING TO COLLIDE WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. JUST AS SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED TO BRAKE. HOWEVER, THERE HAD BEEN THE POSSIBILITY OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND DIRE CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL INVOLVED. I HAD NOT HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE WITH THE CAR BEFORE AND HAVE NOT HAD ONE SINCE. *TR
