Consumer Description

SUDDEN ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, WHEN SUDDEN ACCELERATION OCCURRED VERY RAPIDLY. BRAKE PRESSURE COULD NOT KEEP VEHICLE FROM LURCHING FOWARD AND HITTING THE REAR A OF STOPPED VEHICLE. I NEVER USE MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SO I CAN NEVER HIT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR SIMULTANEOUSLY.
