Consumer Description

I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AS I BEGAN TO MOVE OFF TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO PICK UP SPED WITHOUT ME PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE SPED INCREASED ABRUPTLY AND SEEMED TO BE OVERPOWERING THE BRAKES. I MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER(AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) TO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE IT'S REVS. I STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR WHILE THE CAR WAS TRAVELING CLOSE TO 60 MPH, NOW COASTING IN NEUTRAL, AND THE ENGINE REVS BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD MY DAUGHTER, A NOVICE DRIVER OF SIX MONTHS, BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL. *TR
