Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 GRAND AM AND I WAS SITTING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON AN HWY AND IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE THAT DAY AND WHEN I LET MY FEET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL MY CAR START TO ACCELERATE BY ITS SELF VERY FAST AND I IMMEDIATELY PRESS MY BREAK TO THE FLOOR AND MY ANTI-LOCK BREAKS KICKED IN AND THE CAR CONTINUED SKID AND ACCELERATE FAST AND I HAD PUT MY CARS TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO REV EVEN AFTER MY TRANSMISSION WAS IN NERAL. I ENDED UP SKIDDING UP A SIDE WALK TO AVOID A SERIOUS CRASH OR BEING KILLED IN A BAD CRASH. I BELIEVE IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
