Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO THROTTLE AND THEN SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME IF YOUR FOOT IS NOT ON THE GAS. THE VEHICLE ALSO STAYS OR GOES UP IN SPEED WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. I HAD THOUGHT THIS WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT LEARNED IT IS NOT. IM AFRAID THAT WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE I COULD BE DRIVING THE SPEED WILL GO UP ON ITS OWN AND THEN FORCE THE CAR TO SHUT OFF AND DIE LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. THEREFORE I MUST SAY I DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR OFTEN OR FAR. *TR
