Consumer Description

AFTER REVERSING OUT OF SPARKING SPOT IN A SHOPPING CENTER I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN ACCELERATING AT FULL SPEED. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR SPEED KEPT INCREASING. I PUT THE SHIFT LEVER IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE TO PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE. AFTER APPROX TWO (2) SECONDS THE ENGINE SPEED RETURNED TO A NORMAL IDLE SPEED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED.
