Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR GOING 50MPH OR 60MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WHILE I HAD MY FEET ON THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY WHEN IN TRAFFIC. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF MINS AND WHEN I CUT IT BACK ON IT SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR WAS IDILED TO HIGH. I TRIED TO DRIVER AGAIN ONLY FOR THE CAR TO JERK AND SEEMED LIKE IT WAS DRIVING ITSELF ONLY TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN TO ONLY 10MPH WITH MY FEET ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL.
