Consumer Description

ON TWO OCCASIONS I WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 80 MPH. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE CAR SLOWED TO AT 50 MPH AND CONTINUED THAT WAY FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD WITH BOTH FEET TO MAKE IT SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY, BUT THERE WAS I RED LIGHT AND I SLID THROUGH THE LIGHT TRYING TO STOP MY CAR. I WAS FORTUNATE NO OTHER CAR WAS COMING. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND THERE WAS A VERY HARD KICK AND THE RPM'S WHERE STILL VERY HIGH. THEN IT JUST STOPPED RACING AND WENT BACK TO NORMAL. *JS
