Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AND I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS GOING FASTER THAN IT SHOULD AS I WAS HEADING TOWARDS AN EXIT RAMP. I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AMD THE CAR WAS REVVING UP LIKE 4000 RPM ALL BY ITSELF. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ALTERNATING BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND DRIVE AS IT WAS REVVING UP TOO HIGH. I PARKED IN A LOT. TURNED THE CAR OFF... IT WAS REVVING UP LIKE A RACE CAR... ALL BY ITSELF. VERY SCARY. COULD HAVE DIED. THE FLOOR BOARDS WERE CLEAN. NOTHING COULD HAVE STUCK TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.... NO WAY THIS COULD BE OPERATOR ERROR
