Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING UPHILL AT 25 MPH. WHEN I REACHED THE CREST OF THE HILL, IT FELT LIKE THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED ITSELF DOWN AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE RPM WENT UP TO 4,000 AND MY CAR WAS ACCELERATING. I PUT BOTH OF MY FEET ON THE BRAKES, WHICH HAD LITTLE EFFECT. I THEN PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF MY CAR. AFTER, I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON FOR PRECAUTIONS. I STARTED MY CAR UP AFTER LETTING IT REST FOR AWHILE AND IT IMMEDIATELY WENT UP TO 4,000 RPM(S). I SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND LET IT REST FOR AWHILE. I STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT WAS NORMAL. *TR
