Consumer Description

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE REVS UP AND MY CAR STARTS TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I TRY TO LIFT THE GAS PEDAL AND APPLY THE BRAKE BUT IT'S HARD TO TRY TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. WHEN I FIRST STAT MY CAR IT IDLES HIGH FOR A MOMENT BUT THEN GOES BACK TO "NORMAL" AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO. THIS IS REALLY SCARY, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN YOU'RE DOING 70MPH AND CAR DECIDES TO DO 90MPH OUT OF NOWHERE.
