Consumer Description

WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY, I STARTED THE ENGINE, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED. I SWERVED TO MISS A TRAILER PARKED IN FRONT OF ME, PUSHED HARDER ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE STOPPED, THE ENGINE RACED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IDLED NORMALLY. I GOT OUT, LOOKED AT THE FLOOR MAT AND IT WASN'T TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE, BUT THE CAR DOESN'T GET DRIVEN MUCH. *TR
