Consumer Description

CAR ACCELERATED AHEAD WHILE PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN. THE HARDER I APPLIED THE BRAKES.... THE MORE IT TRIED TO SURGE AHEAD. FINALLY GOT IT STOPPED. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY WIFE TODAY. SHE WAS PARKING THE CAR AND WHEN SHE TOUCHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR SURGED AHEAD ON HER. SHE FINALLY ALSO GOT IT STOPPED BUT IT SCARED HER. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS REALLY HARD AND THE MOTOR ACCELERATES EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING PUSHED AND NOT THE GAS PEDAL. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ARE GOING TO GET IT IN TOMORROW TO CHECK IT OUT.
