Consumer Description

I WAS IN MY CAR, MOTOR RUNNING, FACING TRAFFIC ,STOPPED AT EDGE OF DRIVEWAY, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. SUDDENLY CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I REFLEXIBLY PRESSED ON BRAKE WITH MAXIMUM FORCE. CAR CONTINUED VERY SLOWLY. I PULLED OUT OF GEAR TO NEUTRAL WHICH STOPPED CAR. CAR TRAVELED NO MORE THEN 1 CAR LENGTH TO STOP NEXT TO CURB. AFTER A PAUSE, I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO STOPS OVER 4 HOURS, I THEN DROVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGE WITH NHTSA AND THE CAR MANUFACTURER. THE LATTER HAS HAD A DEALER INSPECT AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. I REQUESTED ANOTHER DEALER OPINION. MANUFACTURER OFFERS $500 FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION BUT DENYS ANY SUPPORT FOR COST OF SOLUTION. CAN NHTSA REVIEW THIS SITUATION FOR MANUFACTURER'S NEED TO RECALL? THIS SAME CAR AND MODEL HAD ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS IN 2007 RESUILTING IN SEVERAL FATALITIES.
