Consumer Description

CAR ACCELERATED AS I TRIED TO STOP. THEN WHEN I TRIED TO GO, I PRESSED THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO BUT THE RPM'S WENT REALLY HIGH. THEN THE CAR DIED AND I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO TURN IT BACK ON. 2ND INCIDENT- I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR AND TRIED TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT BUT THE CAR ACCELERATED SO I HAD TO KEEP BREAKING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, NOTHING WORKED (HAD NO POWER AT ALL THEREFORE I COULD NOT TURN ON MY HAZARDS TO SIGNAL TO PEOPLE THAT MY CAR WAS STALLED). I WAITED THEN TRIED TO TURN IT ON AGAIN AND IT TURNED ON BUT WAS STILL ACCELERATING ONLY I WAS IN PARK SO IT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF BUT DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF SO I COULD TURN HAZARDS ON. I WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES THEN TRIED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. *TR
