Consumer Description

THE CAR ENGINE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN, WHETHER OR NOT MY FOOT IS ON THE GAS PETAL. I THOUGHT IT WAS TRANSMISSION TROUBLE, BUT NOT SURE NOW AFTER READING ARTICLE IN BATON ROUGE ADVOCATE TODAY. BROUGHT CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 3 TIMES, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. THEY SAY BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS, BUT ONCE I WAS HEADED TO BATON ROUGE AND IT JUST STARTED RACING, ANOTHER TIME TO GENTLY, AND OTHER TIMES JUST HEADED HOME OR SHOPPING. IT HAS HAPPENED MINIMAL 25 TIMES. I WILL START LOGGING THE MILEAGE, SPEED, DATES, & TIMES AS OF TODAY...2/26/13. I REALIZE IT IS WHAT YOU ARE CALLING A POWER SURGE. I CANNOT WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR. *TR
