Consumer Description

CAME TO STOP SIGN AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES - THE ENGINE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. HAD TO PUT MY FOOT HARD ON THE BRAKES AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL - AND THE ENGINE STOPPED ACCELERATING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A TWO WEEK PERIOD THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS EXPECTED WITH NO PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT AND IT WAS ANCHORED CORRECTLY AND AWAY FROM THE ACCELERATOR. AND "NO" MY FOOT DID NOT SLIP FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAD BOTH FEET HARD ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID JOLTING FORWARD AND HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. *TR
