Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR JUST BEGAN TO SPEED UP AND THE PEDDLE LEFT FROM MY FOOT AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUNCH ON THE PEDDLE TO TRY TO STOP IT FROM GOING TO 100. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN AT A 25-35 MPH PACE. THE CAR WILL JUST TAKE OFF. I AM CURRENTLY NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR DUE TO MY SAFETY. THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT I HAD TO REPLACE IS, IT WOULD NOT GO INTO 2ND GEAR, LIKE IF I CAME TO A STOP AND THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. I COULD NOT DRIVE IT IN THE STREETS BECAUSE IT COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH THE TRAFFIC SO I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND OUT OF POCKET ALMOST 3K. AT THE TIME THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 25000 MILES ON IT. *TR
