Consumer Description

THE CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP. I WAS DRIVING ON A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD (PENDLETON PIKE) IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN. AFTER PASSING SUNNYSIDE ROAD, IT WENT FROM 40 MPH TO 25 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. I HIT THE ACCELERATOR MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP. I TURNED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I PANICKED! I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL INTO A STARBUCKS PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WAITED TEN SECONDS EXACTLY, AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. IT WAS FINE AFTER THAT PROCEDURE.
