Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACCELERATING ALL BY ITSELF AND I HAVE TO QUICKLY STEP ON THE BRAKE TO STOP IT. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE LAST TIME, I HAD 4 CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE ON A VERY HOT DAY AND IT HAPPENED AS I WAS WAITING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INDICATED THAT IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY OR TRANSMISSION, WHICH HE INDICATED COULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM - SOME HAVE EVEN HAD ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF IT.
