Consumer Description

CAR SURGED FORWARD AND WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL IT WITHOUT APPLYING BOTH THE BRAKES AND ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME. WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO GET IT HOME. I THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE, I THINK IT WAS THE THROTTLE. I COULD SEE WHERE THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I TRADED IT IN AND PURCHASED A 2012 FORD ESCAPE THAT MY SON DRIVE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS OCCURRING IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. *TR
