Consumer Description

CAR WILL ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN USUALLY OCCURS WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR WHILE MAKING A TURN PRESSING THE BRAKE HARD SLOWS THE CAR BUT IT CONTINUES TO APPLY POWER WHAT STOPS THE ENGINE FROM CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE IS TO PUSH THE CLUTCH IN, AT THE MOMENT THE ENGINE WILL ACCELERATE TO 6500 RPM THEN RETURN TO NORMAL LIKE IT IS COMPLETING SOME CYCLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE WINTER. WE HAVE EXPECTED A RECALL BUT NOTHING. I CAN GUARANTEE A LAWSUIT IF MY WIFE AND KIDS ARE INJURED. THIS IS A TRUE CASE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION THAT THE FEDS CAN INVESTIGATE. *TR
