Consumer Description

WHILE BRAKING FOR A STOP LIGHT, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, EVEN THOUGH I WAS APPLYING MAXIMUM FORCE TO THE BRAKE. I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, FORTUNATELY WITHOUT CRASHING INTO STOPPED VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS BEING USED FOR BRAKING AND WAS NO WHERE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, RESTARTED THE CAR, AND DROVE SLOWLY HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN SINCE, AND HAD MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO A GARAGE FOR SERVICE MONDAY MORNING (TOMORROW.) *TR
