Consumer Description

I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE AND DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL ROAD WHEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS ACCELERATING WITHOUT HAVING MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE IN THE PREVIOUS FEW WEEKS BUT FAR LESS SEVERE. THIS TIME I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT HEAVY ON THE BRAKES TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. FORTUNATELY I WAS NEAR HOME AND MANAGED TO GET MY CAR HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT, ALTHOUGH I SAW THAT I HAD SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A FLAT ON MY FRONT LEFT TIRE. THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP I WAS TOLD THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR TAKEN IN (MAY 20, 2019) AFTER THE TWO MINOR INCIDENTS THE PREVIOUS WEEK BUT THE REPAIR SHOP COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK PROMISING TO COME BACK IF IT ACTED UP AGAIN.
