Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING APPROX 30 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. PRESSING THE BREAK HAD NO AFFECT ON THE CAR AUTO ACCELERATING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING VERY FREQUENTLY OVER THE PAST WEEK. NO WHEN IT STARTS TO ACCELERATE BY ITS SELF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT ACCELERATES UP TO APPROX 4000 RPM, TO STOP THE ACCELERATION I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND RELEASE QUICKLY AND THE CAR SETTLES BACK DOWN, STOPPING THE ACCELERATION. I FEEL THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *JS
