Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 50MPH MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO 5MPH. LUCKILY FOR ME NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. SOON AFTER THIS HAPPENED I LOOKED AT MY DASH BOARD TO SEE IF ANY WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. SO THEN I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO A SIDE STREET ALL WHILST PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR WITH NO RESPONSE. ONCE I TURNED ON TO A SIDE STREET AN ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, WHICH I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO HAPPEN. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND PLACED IT ON PARK. AFTER GETTING OVER THE FEAR OF DRIVING MY VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME, BUT NOT WITHOUT HAVING MY VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY SLOW DOWN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING UP MY DRIVEWAY. *TR
