Consumer Description

I WAS WAITING FOR MY WIFE AT THE TRAIN STATION AND WHEN I SAW HER I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT TOOK OFF LIKE A SHOT ACCELERATING UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKE HARD AND THREW IT INTO NETURAL. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I NEVER TOUCHED THE GAS PETAL OR ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED ANYTHING ELSE.IT WAS SO FRIGHTENING.WHAT WAS SO FRIGHTENING WAS THE INTENSITY OF THE ACCELERATION. IF ANYONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED
