Consumer Description

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE AT 60MPH. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED DESPITE MY APPLYING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD. FINALLY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE STILL BRAKING HARD. I STOPPED JUST INCHES FROM THE STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS A HARROWING FEW MOMENTS AND IF I HAD BEEN UNABLE TO STOP OR SLOWDOWN THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. MY GUESS IS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SOME SORT OF ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR ASSIST OR SOME COMPUTER PROBLEM WHICH HAS TO DO WITH ENGINE SPEED OR BRAKING.
