Consumer Description

TODAY, I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE S 2004 HONDA CIVIC IN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HR WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AS IF IT WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL.. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE WITH LITTLE RESULTS. THE BRAKES FELT SO HARD AS IF THEY WERE LOCKED. THEN I DECIDED TO CHANGE GEARS TO D2 AND TOGETHER WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR A BIT. AFTER THAT, I PULLED OVER THE BRAKE DOWN LANE AT ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR BUT I STILL COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. WITH THE HELP OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AS IF IT WAS ACCELERATING. THIS IS WHEN I DECIDED TO PUT IT ON NEUTRAL AND FOLLOW BY A LOUD NOISE THE ENGINE FINALLY STOP RUNNING....THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT.... *TR
