Consumer Description

IT ACCELERATES SUDDENLY, MOST OFTEN WHEN BRAKING FROM A HIGH SPEED (LIKE IN RUSH HOUR), BUT ONE TIME IT ACCELERATED AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO DAMAGE (I GUESS BECAUSE THE SPEEDS WERE LOW). NOW I HAVBE TO DRIVE WITH MY HAND ON THE SHIFTER SO I CAN SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL IF IT ACCELERATES SUDDENLY. IT ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, EVEN IF I'M PARKED IN RUSH HOUR. IT ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN BRAKING FROM A HIGH SPEED (RUSH HOUR AGAIN).
