Consumer Description

WHILE TRYING TO STOP MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO COME TO A STOP. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND MY ENGINE REVVED AT AROUND 4000 RPM. THE ONLY WAY I COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME WAS TO KEEP CONSTANT HEAVY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. IT ALWAYS WANTED TO ACCELERATE. *TR
