Consumer Description

MOVED FROM CENTER TURN LANE INTO EASTBOUND LANE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 5:30PM. SUDDENLY NOTICED THE CAR WAS SPEEDING. TOOK FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR BUT CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. MANAGED TO PULL INTO A RIGHT TURN LANE INTO A GAS STATION WHILE STANDING ON BRAKE TO NO EFFECT. AS I SWERVED INTO THE GAS STATION, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED ENGINE OFF. CAR STOPPED ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY FROM GAS PUMPS. TURNED ENGINE ON AND IT RACED. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND NO LONGER WORKED. THIS CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO RICK CASE MAZDA, DULUTH, GA ON 10/10/12 FOR THE 2012 MAZDA RECALL DUE TO CRUISE CONTROL AND SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" USING PART #1 F01-10-218 STUD. SERVICE STATION WHO REPAIRED MY CAR FOLLOWING THE 9/10/143 INCIDENT SAID THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE HAD ONCE AGAIN CAUSED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND REMOVED AND REPLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE. I AM CONSTANTLY WORRIED NOW THAT THE CAR WILL DO IT AGAIN. *TR
