Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION TWICE THIS WEEK. THE FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON JANUARY 31, 2014. THE OTHER WAS FEBRUARY 1, 2014. BOTH INCIDENTS TOOK PLACE AT LOW SPEEDS. BASICALLY AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR JUST ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS UNDER 5MPH ON BOTH INCIDENTS. WHAT IT FEELS LIKE IS AS I AM COMING TO A SLOW DOWN THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO DOWN IN GEAR AND JUST THRUSTS AND TAKES OFF. I RAN INTO A HEDGE IN THE PARKING LOT ON THE FEBRUARY 1ST INCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT NOT IN TIME TO AVOID THE COLLISION WITH THE HEDGE. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON, OR NEAR THE ACCELERATOR. BOTH TIMES MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. *TR
